For those of you who have no freakin' clue what that says above... It means I saw the first Harry Potter movie in German yo.
(I'm not sure why I added 'yo' to the end of the sentence...)
In doing so, I also found out that the word for Earwax is "Ohrensmalz". Weird huh?
And in the time that has passed between today and the last time I wrote a post for those of you across the puddle, I have discovered that sometimes I feel like a baby being here. (a wittle tiny baby as my sister would so rightly proclaim.) There are a couple reasons for that. The first is that I cannot remember my dreams at this point, mostly because, my dreams are unsure whether they should be in German or English. I only dream pictures like a baby. Secondly, I pride myself with accomplishments like,"Answered a Question in History Correctly" and "Did Math Homework Without Help" or even simply "Understood". Not that I'm saying those are the accomplishments a baby strives for... but you get what I mean, they are simple things that not only happened regularly in the life before but were almost like breathing for me. You see in school it used to go like this: Teacher ask a question, Deni volunteer, Teacher picks Deni, Deni answers. Repeat, until of course my teachers would stop picking me because they wanted other people to volunteer.... Now, I am the person who asks about everything two or three times. the person who needs someone else to explain. And also lately, I've been getting songs stuck in my head from Kindergarten and the like such as,"Clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere" when we're done with a chem lab or "Can you feel the love tonight" from The Lion King, which I am still puzzled as to how I got it stuck in my head...
(I think this baby analogy sounded better in my head than it does here...)
But there are a lot of things that make me feel much more independent and adultish too. I have taken the bus on a number of occations by myself and nothing has gone wrong yet. I rode my bike to school everyday this week and only got lost once only for five minutes and I wasn't even late for class. I clean my room on a regular basis. I try to do my homework by myself most nights. I help with dinner almost every night and I have money which I actually (mostly) spend on only things I need. I have a money card that I can use with the magical money machine and get cash!!!! I know, I'm so adult-like that you can't even stand it. (:
Oh and some good news: I am not going to die! (sorry, that was in Deni language, let me translate) I'm not going to be graded in French! YAY!
now have a lovely goddamn weekend, I know I will, even if it's raining because all I have to do for monday is English homework!
I'm so proud of you! This seems to be a wonderous experience. Your comment box doesn't think wonderous is a word. It is a Budda-word. I hope you continue to excel and enjoy your baby steps. It is part of studying abroad.
