Today we had our final. I think it went really well. We only
had two essay questions, and I
didn’t have to describe myself or anyone else! A question that we did have involved saying what we
liked to do in our free time, so not too bad!
There was also a fill in the blank question that made me
laugh. A little background info:
The word for bad is “schlecht.” The first blank said Britney Spears ist
_______. So Britney Spears is bad. The next blank was Lady Gaga ist _____. Lady
Gaga is worse, or “schlechter.” The final blank really made me laugh: Justin Bieber
ist ______. He is the worst, or “am schlechtesten.” I didn’t expect to laugh
during a test, but it was really funny.
Our teacher was also really supportive and you could tell
she wanted you to succeed. She would walk around and point out simple mistakes
(like forgetting to include a verb in the sentence you are writing, which I did
several times).
After that, I met with my group for our skit on Friday. For
all my bellyaching earlier, it’s actually been a fun experience and I think our skit is pretty funny. I may
be a bit biased though.
The whole international group is planning on doing a flash
mob after the skits on Friday. While I have never been part of one, I’ve witnessed one, and they always
seem like a lot of fun. We will be dancing to Gangnam Style. The
moves are pretty easy, so everyone should be able to do it. We want to surprise
the teachers, and I think this is a good way.
Bilge and I stopped at a bakery on our way back from the group meeting. I got a Schweineohren,
literally “pig-ear.” I guess it sorta looks like one. It was delicious and not
at all pork-related.
Schüss!
German Word of the Day: Die Bäckerei- “bakery” Die Bäckerei
is the perfect place to try new desserts.
