…yeah, right. Whatever.

I got several midterms back and that 4.0 dream was shattered. I think I managed okay for all of them but wanting to get A’s is sort of tough. It all depends on my finals and I think I’m pretty darn screwed for finals.

Math, all this curve and surface parametrization and finding this and that is not being processed.

Econ, I listen in class but I realized I’ve forgotten what I’ve read and learned before. Did I really truly learn it?

German, …just too much. I better get my act together if I want to do well. Oh that oral exam’ll be the death ofme.

Writing, one last paper and the articles project. ARGH.

Now that we’ve started our final chapter for German, I realized there were many food words in the Wortschatz:

• Me: Oh great, this chapter has stuff on food.
• Derya: Eat it. Then not only will you not be hungry, you won’t have to read it

Ja, das ist wahr.

It is a dreary and miserable Sunday and I am, of course, in my room writing notes for German. However, as I travel back to Kapitel Zwei of my German textbook, I rediscovered a big semi-regret of my life.

Why did I choose to learn German of all languages?! Why, why, why?

• there is little to no pattern to pluralizing verbs (or at least Frau Ward refuses to let us in on them)
• stupid genders of nouns
• verb conjugation and tenses
• separable and inseparable prefixes
• sentence and word order
• cases
• prepositions that go with the different cases…prepositions that go with MORE THAN ONE CASE

They equate to FML.

I’m sure German is probably easier than many other languages. Which leads me to ask myself why I’m learning another language even though I’ve covered my language distribution requirement already?!

As I am trying to copy down vocabulary, my roommate and hallmate are behind me laughing their asses off over 樱桃小丸子. I actually don’t mind the fact they are having fun and I am slaving (that’s been happening throughout most of my life anyways). However, I am trying to study here, thank you very much.

I feel like I am drowning in a language ich kann nicht verstehen…and I don’t even have a distraction (other than bonus problems on my Math Pset)! Bah!

One more hour until I head to Slater for s’mores.
