I can't believe how far behind I am in my Psychology class! It's not like I'm putting off the readings, it just seems like there's too much to be able to keep up with it! In order for me to be caught up by the end of this week, I have something like 250 pages to read. x.x Then I have to get caught up in my readings for Religious Studies: Religions in the East, but that's only 50 pages in comparison to 250. But I need to get those 50 pages done for Thursday's night class because if I don't, I'll have a harder time trying to do the assignment I'll get in that class.
In German 203, I have to write 250 words on strategies on how to learn languages, or something like that. I need to get the rough work done tomorrow night so that I can show it to my group for Wednesday's class. I gotta write that all in German and I have no clue how to even start x.X
I think I'm okay in German 201... I just need to keep working at my Vocabulary, grammar and whatnot... but when I'm taking two German courses at the same time, if I study twice as hard for the one, it will balance off with the other. It's just a lot of work for me because I'm not as smart as everyone else -.-'
English 109 is practically a joke... I thought it would be a course to help me improve my essay writing techniques, but we only have one essay to write and then, two smaller assignments and a "portfolio" thing of 5 responses to 5 short stories/essays in this book we had to buy. Ever since classes started, this course had been basic grammar review. I should have tried to switch into another course... but I didn't. It literally is like the easiest one of my courses.
(of course it is, it's in English; I have to write in English and there aren't a lot of readings, so naturally it seems easy)
I tried to get a lot of my readings done on the weekend, but that didn't happen... Going to Dad's wasn't too bad on Sunday, but I wasted a good chunk of study time in his old house in Baden, then spent 10 minutes visiting my Grandparents. I should have stayed home instead of going to Baden because I was just getting into the groove of studying... *sighs*
I feel like such a loser here. I can't keep up with my readings and I'm struggling to understand my German 203 class. German 201 is pretty good now that I'm accustomed to it, but German 203 is killer...
Oh well, only good things can come out of German 203. I'll be ahead of the German 202 class in the winter! (202 is a continuation of German 201, which is like basic German, practicing speaking and whatnot). German 204 in the winter will be killer too x.X
Tina slept over Friday night. That was fun. We didn't to anything exciting, but it's always so much fun to just simply hang out (and listen to Dir en Grey music, lol).
I wish I had time to read my book "German for Reading Knowledge" that I bought at the used book store downtown before school started because it has basic lessons and stories to improve my knowledge of the German language... but I don't have time to read it.
It's not like I have to read it, it's just that it might be useful. By reading more in the language you're studying, the more you will learn and understand the language, right?
But I don't have time for extra stuff. I got enough of other (boring) stuff to read to try and catch up to my class.
*yahns* Ich bin sehr müde. Ich gehe ins Bett schlafen.
Bis bald!
