That's awesome! I would also like 12 credits in one day and to learn french from scratch in two days. I'm going to storm your house and confiscate your matrix technology. That is the only explanation for learning french in two days. Don't worry, I'll return it next week after I know every martial art and all the worlds languages and pass a couple humanities CLEPs.

Now let me say 1st I am insanely jealous that you could learn anything in 2 days no less a language. I spent 5 years taking spanish and I can barely say hello, how are you? I am making myself nuts here trying to refresh my Chemistry, biology,Algebra, and Trigonometry along with learning Physics all in the next week:willynilly: .
I hate you :reddevil: now tell me your secret:mad: I bet it has something to do with being young and having a photographic memory. In that case I will just have to keepbanghead to keep this old brain trying.

I'm telling you. Matrix equipment. We should re-name this forum "what is the matrix" and start working on a way out. But first Maniac has to lend us his equipment because we will need to know kung-fu first. Stop holding out on us MC!
Oh crap, someones knocking....

12 credits, for a total of 61 and my AA degree requirements are finally complete!
I still have two more exams today, Psychology and Human Growth & Development. After I beat the French exam at the highest level, there is no way I forsee myself failing my next two exams.
I have to get going on them, but I'll check in later.

I nailed them!
Introductory Psychology: 74
Human Growth and Development: 62
Clarification: I did take French in High School, and did very well in it. They, however, don't teach you very much in H.S. and that was years ago. So, no, I didn't actually learn everything in two days, but if you are wondering here is what I did learn in two days:
1. Increased my vocabulary by 500 words. If I had more time, it could have easily been 1,000.
2. The correct position and situations for using disjunctive as opposed to indirect object pronouns.
3. The French rules for subjunctive (slightly different than Spanish and significantly different than English).
4. Conjugation of both the present and past subjunctive, for both regular and almost all irregular verbs.
5. IF/THEN statements. Similar to spanish, so it didn't take that long.
6. Verbs of perception and the pronoun position. This gets REALLY tricky, but I seem to have an easy time remembering grammar rules, so it was no problem.
7. When and how to use the pronouns "y" and "en."
8. I learned a new class of pronouns. Ironically, I forgot what they were called hilarious but, I learned all of the different rules and exceptions and agreements for using them (dont, duquel, etc).
9. Certain verbs can not have an antecedent object pronoun. That blew my mind!
10. I refined my understanding of the difference between gerunds and present participles in French.
11. Idiomatic uses of "de."
That's about it. At least, all I can remember. I will explain in the specific feedback how I was able to do it all.
