They're falling away, one by one

Several friends left the DEFLE at the end of last semester, mostly for financial reasons like paying for next year's University course, impending parenthood, etc.

Another friend has vanished. Rumours are that the timetable and his part-time job were deeply incompatible.

Also there's an exam in French for overseas students to gain admission to the University and once people have passed that there seems little point in slogging through your complex sentences and reported speech and all.

Yesterday another friend decided that they would become "autideur libre", that is, to attend the classes they want to attend and drop the ones that don't suit them.

Soon it'll just be a handful of us. Perhaps at that point they'll cancel the exams and hand out diplomas to the survivors.

Well it's an idea.
