Gotta make this quick if I wanna be able to get up for class tomorrow morning...
In my residence, every floor has a theme. I have the smallest floor of 10 people (plus my Don makes 11) whereas all the other floors have 24 or 26 people. It's so nice! I know everyone and I love hanging out with them!
Anyway, my floor has the coolest theme! We're the funky monkey floor!
We're getting floor gear, which is a hoodie with a monkey embroidered on it and monkey slippers. Today, we started making sock monkeys out of--you guessed it--socks! So much fun!
Right now we just have the body and the legs. The look like giant penises and I named mine after my high school co-prez, Matt Dick. LOL! So, Little Dick sitting on the shelf over my bed waiting to be made so he won't look like a penis anymore, lol.
German is so hard here! I can't believe how much work it is! But then, I am taking two German courses where they speak 90% of the time in German and I have no clue what they're saying, so it seems a lot harder than it really is.
Today, I had to write the rules of strong and weak verbs and separable prefix verbs--IN GERMAN!
I feel sorry for my group... They all seems so smart and experienced and I'm straight out of high school...
I could've gone into 1st year German, but then I would have been bored out of my mind because it would be like redoing high school, so I went into 2nd year German. It feels like I can't keep up and I'm getting dumbing day by day!
I want to make it my personal goal to study twice as much as it's recommended you to do, but then my other classes would suffer and they're already not doing that great...
Plus, I wanna write my story, lol. Damn story... Yesterday, I finished writing two songs for the "band", but not much in the line of actual story writing. I'm trying to cut back on it... plus I kind of had to because I had that German thing to finish... which is probably soooooo bad! *cries*
I need to work on my vocabulary by making and using flash cards, but that takes so much time... But I should still do it because it really does work. I made some for this one section in my text and drew really bad pictures to represent the nouns and I almost remembered all of them after going through all the cards two times! Now, I pull them down from my board and can name them without hardly having to think....
That's what I need to do to memorize more words. It's the best way and it works for me.
But anyway, I need to get going to bed...
SOCK MONKEYS!!!!!
