    J'en ai vraiment marre du lycée
    J'en ai vraiment marre de l'école
    C'est vrai!

    A good one to throw in is 'J'en ai vraiment marre!'
    Or 'J'en ai vraiment marre de lycée' or sth like that.
    It means 'I'm fed up!'.

    Thanks, Dannloads.

    Obviously you can't pack them with irrelevant phrases but to what extent do people think you can pre-prepare these comprehensions?

    Je suis excite(e)
    I think "j'ai hâte!" is more suitable. Excite does mean excited but not in the happy sense :P

    Some really great phrases here and by all means learn a few of them but for your own sake, don't try to fit as many of them into a single diary entry as is possible.. ;)

    My favourite phrase for some reason is:

    J'ai failli tomber dans les pommes! = I almost fainted!

    Je n'ai pas un sou, je vais chercher un petit boulot - i don't have a penny, i'm going to look for a part time job :D

    Are you confusing "sou" with "soûl" (or spelt "saoul") and "rond" that mean "drunk"?
    Check these links on wikipedia for sou and sou (French version)

    Hope this helps
