I remembered eventually.
Ouch. >.<

The one good thing about English - we don't have those whacky tenses to indicate mood. We just do weird contortions instead.

My test was 1/6 grammar, 1/3 translation, 1/6 Find The Appropriate Verb To Complete The Sentence, and 1/3 composition. took about two hours. Was fairly hideous.

Tomorrow I have an oral wherein I compare Marx, Machiavelli, Gandhi, and Cicero.
