Ivana, you suck!

Mislim da smo uveli kablovsku kada sam imala tri godine.
Prva stanica je bio Cartoon Network, druga Fox.
Stalno sam bila u dodiru sa engleskim. Kada sam imala pet godina, krenula sam na časove engleskog. Sve sam to znala što sam tamo učila, tako da sam vremenom odustala od toga.
I zato mi je trebalo devet godina kasnije da konačno naučim šta je rectangle. Neke stvari odbijam da naučim. Imam još takvih bisera.
U šestom razredu sam krenula na neke časove u pravu školu jezika. Bila sam najbolja u grupi, a bilo mi je žao tog novca. I odustala sam posle godinu dana.
Sledeće godine su me upisali kod jedne profesorice što predaje engleski u filološkoj školi. Od onda idem kod nje. I mogu skoro ponosno reći da ništa nisam naučila. Jer mi nije bitno. Ne bih znala reći zašto, ali mi nije bitno.
Kada sam upisala gimnaziju, dobila sam prilično strogu profesoricu. Tu sam se malčice uozbiljila, počela sam da učim nove i nepoznate reči, ozbiljnije sam shvatala gramatiku itd.
I sada treba da polažem jedan test, CAE. Trenutno radim skriptu, pripremam se i svakim zadatkom sve više očajavam kako sam glupa. Nekoć sam htela da budem profesor engleskog jezika i književnosti. Nekoć sam mislila da znam engleski. Nekoć sam htela da radim u diplomatiji i da se savršeno služim engleskim jezikom. Nekoć, naravno.

Sada ne mogu ništa više od toga. U stvari, mogu samo da očajavam.
Uspust, evo jedan test za vas - ovo su frazalni glagoli. Budite iskreni prema sebi i pogledajte koliko ih znate, odnosno, koliko vam je njihovo značenje blisko. Uživajte!
