time and chance

as per usual, i have procrastinated.

by the time this is posted, i will be in class about to take an exam that will either pass / fail me auf deutsch (in german). i can't imagine i'll really FAIL, although that would really really suck. if i do, it's my own fault - i have put off studying and redoing my notes and just general "language learning."

ALTHOUGH, i must say i can tell a HUGE improvement in my german. it's still rather mediocre, but i think i have the basics down. i can very easily tell you the following:

Ich bin siebenundzwanzig Jahre alt. Ich bin nicht verheiratet und ich habe keine Kinder. Ich bin bankauffrau. Mein Hobbys since reisen, blog schreiben, und Kino gehen. etc.

[i am 27 years old. I am not married and have no kids. I am a banker. My hobbies include traveling, blog writing and movie watching.]

tonight i ordered dinner again and this time i was able to communicate with the delivery guy! and i kind of almost understood the menu online. right now i am also watching this tv show on channel vox, which seems to be like food network. my friend jen's boyfriend's best friends are on this show called mein restaurant. its a competition between 5 different couples around germany to start the best restaurant. the people i almost know are in köln (cologne) on the other side of germany. jen's boyfriend was there las weekend helping them set up the restauarant, so its a very recent show. anyway, what i find interesting is that me watching it now vs. watching the last episode last friday - i can definitely tell a difference. in a good way, of course.

no matter what, i don't think i'll ever break this ... let me rephrase: i work better under pressure and i don't think that will ever change. if i'm not nervous, it's almost certain i will do badly.

hmmm... i just realized that as i write this i am not at all nervous. nicht so gut.
