"She delighted in anything ridiculous"- Jane Austen

30^th September 2010

Another sweaty arrival on the tram; I really must OOZE sexiness when I’m wiping sweat off my forehead, stripping off having a hot flush. Went to a Licence 3 translation class with George Latissier today, where he used English words I didn’t even know myself. When reading out the register he read out Matt’s name as “Matthew Smell” (it’s Snell) which was absolutely hilarious for us, as we are very immature like that. Continuing with said immaturity, we’d dared Jess to read out the translation in the strongest Welsh accent possible. We were getting all hyped up and giggly when it was nearly her turn, but she didn't get her turn. We did a bit of a tricky translation, and he would write simple phrases/words on the board, for example, “c’était”, which really wasn’t necessary. However, when it came to pretty much the French equivalent of “Antidisestablishmentarianism” he thought he’d leave us to our own accord with that one. What a joker. Cheers George, nice one mate.

We ended the lesson translating a Jane Austen extract, upon research into Jane Austen I found a quote which really fits me well, in particular the latter five words.

"She told the story, however, with great spirit among her friends; for she had a lively, playful disposition, which delighted in anything ridiculous"
Jane Austen
