DONE!!!!

THAT IS GODDAMN RIGHT MUTTHATRUKKA!!!!!!! I am done with my first official semester here in lovely Würzburg. Well technically ive been done since Friday but I've had a busy weekend. It is a great feeling of accomplishment to have a real semester done. Those last few tests, with the exception of one, were beyond difficult. But i did my best and spent the better part of an entire week, everyday in the library. So hopefully my grades will show that. So now with the Semester my nice little cozy bubble of friends and awesome in Würzburg has once again been sorta disrupted. Well not really disrupted, but i guess kinda put on pause. Everyone is going home for the break, or they're traveling for the break (myself included). And a couple of people are going to different Unis for next semester, or they're going back to their home Unis. So it is a little saddening to our ERASMUS stronghold weakened. But these are friendships i have made for life, and will be in regular contact with these people until I die suddenly in some sort of giant explosion. And come this time tomorrow, i will be back in New York for a couple of weeks to see peoples and accomplish a few missions. Would very much like to delve into some greater detail of the days past, but i have to be almost insanely early tomorrow. So next your hear from me, will be from NY.

Mittlestufe...T-Minus 24 Hours

Yes, 24 hours from now I will be having my first exam. Which is the Mittlestufe exam. And I am ready to destroy this test. I have reviewed over and over all relavant grammar topics, and our teacher was even kind enough to give us what the topics are going to be for the essay and and listening sections of the test. Gonna be heading to the library in a short while to do some more studying. Gotta get through 2 or 3 more chapters of review for my Bundesrepublik Deutschland test, then will be writing a couple of practice essays for the Mittlestufe test. AHHHH! Exciting!!!

Day 2 of study camp

I found myself waking up today with thoughts of that most excellent film "Inglorious Bastards" I dont care what anyone says that movie is the bomb diggity. Umm yea so pretty much im just trying to kill time till the top of the hour. Where as when it strikes 2 i will begin more studying. Probably gonna dive into some more Bundesrepublik Deutschland review. Did about an hour and a half of that yesterday, and felt wayyy better for having done it. Got through about 2 chapters of stuff. Going to try and aim to get at least two reviewed a day and then so I will be well studied up by the test on Monday. Productive day yesterday, very productive. Umm yeah workin on contract major stuff for German. Hope it all works out. TO STUDYING!!!!

So its exam season again

Yes you heard right. Its exam time again, and to say i am a bit nervous is just sort of scratching the surface. I've alreay been off to a stunning start, at least where my actual German Uni courses are concerned. For my Bundesrepublik Deutschland class I have not been able to register online for the exam (which is something you have to do here). I've been trying to over and over again for the past 3 weeks but it still isnt working. But i have been in touch with the department about my issue and apparently i am now allowed to take it without online registration. So, alright awesome. Except that i kinda sorta missed the last class before the test this morning due to my lust for sleep, so thats not too good. But all the lectures are up online, and the professor has already gone over the format of the test so its not such a big deal. For my Sprachwissenschaft class I apparently missed an email back in November from the department concerning getting credits for the class for foreign students. So i had just found out about that last week, and luckily have been able to get added to the list of foreign students in the lectute seeking credit. Which means i will be taking an oral exam next week. Should be fun. I have my Mittlestufe exam coming up this Friday, which i wanna say im not really too worried about. I'm really not worried about doing too badly, I feel if i do a minimum amount of review then i can still end up with a respectable grade. However I want to go above and beyond the call for this exam. I don't just want to do well, i want to ace this sucker. For the Aufbau Intensive Course I had in September I did alright, but i didnt do as well i as thought i did. I had reviewd pretty in depth for that one, went over all grammar with a fine tooth comb, but still came up a little short. So naturally my solution to that is to study my ass off even more for this Mittlestufe exam, so much so that i can be in the upper level Oberstufe course next semester. My BRD test i feel like sort of has a limit to how well i can do on it, seeing as how it is a formal written Uni test, all auf Deutsch, all written answers, and i am not a native German speaker. But the Mittlestufe test i can rock out all over and make it cry for mercy with the amount of right answers, and correct grammar i'll drop on it. I've made it my goal this week to just review for the Mittlestufe test. Kind of put my nervousness about my BRD test and SpraWi test on the backburner and let myself feel the confidence of this Mittlestufe test. And maybe even let that confidence bleed over into my other tests. Because a good solid few days of reviewing for the Mittlestufe test will certainly help me with my other exams. I probably will throw in a litte bit of some BRD and SpraWi studying as well to break up the grammar. As i write this entry i just keep coming back to how nervous i am for this BRD test. Just really afraid im gonna do a dive bomb on the test and have my entire semester of going to the class be a waste. I know, that line of thinking isnt gonna get me anywhere. So please excuse my leaving now, but i hear that Mittlestufe review calling my name. TESTSSSSSSSSSSS!
