Update on the papers for next year front:
Fr3 approved. Catalan approved! I've even found a German paper I think I might even like! Ge6. Excitement.
Only, I think to do CS1, I'd have to either really fight for it, OR take a ling paper IB in order to take in Part II. So maybe IB: [Fr3, Ge7, Sp10] (Ge7 is History of German language) or [Fr3, Ge6, Li*]. I don't really like the look of Ge7. :/ I've e-mailed off to get some info on what IB Li papers there'll be next year, because the website confused me lots. Taking Ge7 seems a bad compromise and not amazing preparation for CS1. But it'd mean I'd get to take Sp10 in IB at least rather than having Part II [Sp10, CS1, + Fr/Ge*]. I don't know why I'm getting fixated on CS1 when I'm not even sure I'd be able to manage it. But it looks the most interesting paper out of all of them. And planning for Part II already? It's silly. I'll change my mind again next year anyway in the end.
edit: I think it just annoys me that there are so few linguisticsy papers within each basic set of Fr* and Ge* papers. Like, erm, French has one left now, it seems, and it's the first year paper. German has one for each year.
