Even Better

It's been a good day and a nicht sehr gut day. My class this morning was really good, and I feel like I have been launched forward into my assignment for this semester, and also for the research project. I can picture the assignment in my head, and I have solid ideas even at the pre-research stage about how the finished assignment will look. It's fantastic to feel excited about getting down to work, I have been so tired with Uni and assignments this year and last year. I think that a lot of assignments last year had good intentions, however I felt like a lot of them were piles of ****, and not really inspiring at all.

Or maybe it was the way they were taught. I had that guy who liked to wipe his hands down his shirt while he was talking, I am sure there is a psychological issue there. He talked a lot of nothing, and not a lot of assignment. And the criteria were really vague and not very helpful, and at the beginning of the year they were really excited about 'different' forms of assignments to hand in, but when it came time for them to mark them they were a bit all over the place and by second semester we were back to written assignments again.

So today with some assignments for German, they aren't going so well. I'm not remembering the words that they are asking on the tests. I am going o.k with it, but I need a bit more directed learning. I'll try some learning techniques on myself. At this point I still have a chance to keep my mark to a pass. It's hard learning languages at Uni, because they have to keep up the hard standard, and there isn't room in the marking standard for people to struggle with learning a language. The teacher is really nice, and I really like her, and she will help me next semester if I need it. I was a little upset and I had to stop myself from getting all teary in the class when she was asking how I was going with it. I have a week to try some different things. I am o.k with the verb congaution, it's the gender of the nouns that are hard. My teacher suggested coloured paper to remember which is masculine, feminine and neuter.

Anyone have suggestions for memorisation techniques? Leave me a message, that would be great. I have a week to get up to speed. I plan to get a H1 on the next test.

Band was awesome today. It finished at 9.30, rather than 10. Everyone is playing their best for the competition on the weekend. I'm not sure what happens after this weekend. I've been complaining so much because it is a big commitment. I think I will have to say I can't play anymore. I would love to do another solo.

I love my sister. Shes hot! I wish I were as cool as her! She's going to be an ace hairdresser!! I'm jealous that I wont ever get to be like her! I'm going to have to get her to do my hair cos i wont be able to do it as good. EVER. SHE. IS. HOT!
