Wow! I don't think it's possible, but I think I've FINALLY caught up to the present time! There are of course many things that are happening in the day-to-day life, but I think the main thing that has happened since Easter is starting the new semester! I got the First Day of School jitters all over again!
(I, of course, like any adult, started my first day of school by watching Dora the Explorer as I got ready!)
This semester offers many different classes, I mean.. I think I'm taking 9 of them! I've got 2 in English, 7 in German! Ahh!
I've got: English: The Victorian Era and an American Literature of the 1920s to 1960s
German: Reformation in the New Age, Grammar, Games in Grammar Lessons, Phonetics, Intro. to Language History, Intro. to Literary Science, and Intro. to the Theories and Methods of Language Didactic.
It's a pretty heavy class load, but it's fairly typical to what a real "German" student would be taking, but I'm admittedly not going to the extra-lessons that are required for some of the lessons-they are conflicting with other lectures or seminars. It's enough to keep me busy and to give me a thinking headache though! I've been learning a lot and Thursdays are my long day- I go to class from 8 until 4 without a break-but I really enjoy it too because it's been great for learning vocabulary and getting to know the material!
I've also been trying to get more disciplined in sitting down everyday and studying for a little bit, which is hard when it's finally getting to be nice and sunny outside!
Oh the life of living abroad!
