What: Cassette language lesson tapes.
Origin: French might have been a refresher before "M", Mom and I went to France in, uh, 1993? Spanish, a trip to Mexico in 2001. (See confession.)
Usage: Not since 1993/2001. Aargh!
Why kept: I might need to parlez a little bit of espanol. Thus, They Might Be Useful; I Might Need Them.
Destination: Housing Works.
Confession: I have a sneaking feeling that the Spanish tapes might have belonged to a bschool friend. And the French tapes? I was once pretty conversant in French. In fact, I passed out of a year of French in college based on a written test, per my undergraduate institution this was considered fluent. And I'll admit, I could still read all of the signs. The tapes didn't make me feel any less tongue-tied in the face of the actual Parisians.
Confession, part deux: You may have noticed a lot of things heading out the door to Housing Works...I was out of town for a conference, and I took them over in one garbage bag before I left. Go ahead, call me a cheater.
Cassettes. Aargh.
