movin' on up - to the east side

i'm sure everyone has been waiting in suspense to hear how i did in my class... well, suspend yourselves no more! i have the results... out of a possible 80 points, i got 70 right!!! thats 88%, baby!

so sandra gave us our tests back and i know i could've done better. one section, i got completely wrong because i didnt know what a 'modalverb' was. if i had known that they are "must, should, could, etc" i would've gotten it all right. i just saw the word "präteritum" and wrote the first thing i knew of that was präteritum. so anyway, good job to me! sandra also gave us each a sheet where she wrote how well we did in the whole class on various subjects - listening, speaking, reading, writing, and grammar. i got a "1" in all of them except grammar where i got a "1-". 1 = sehr gut (or very good). zaz! i am pretty sure i did better than most in the class.

so then, drumroll... i got my certificate! double zaz! and this time it says:
"can understand sentencs and frequently used expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment). Can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar and routine matters. Can describe in simple terms aspects of his / her background, immediate environment and matters in areas of immediate need."

still not the best, but slightly better!

so the last class i took was A21 as in A1 is beginner, so A2 is next. then they divide A2 into two parts: A21 (first) and A22. i think the idea now is that i have passed the first part, so i should go on to the second part. but i am kind of tossing around the idea of going back to the US and studying my butt off by myself and then maybe coming back here next spring to start in B. that's right: BEE. B class would be so good. maybe i can finally get a certificate that doesn't say "simple" on the back...
