And she is very pleases with her victory indeed.
Thursday happened two days ago, but regardless of when it happened I am going to tell you about how it went.
You lucky duck.
SOOO, I woke up to the sound of hell on Thursday Morning (or my alarm clock, whichever you find more appropriate) and to be frank I had half a mind to slam the wretched noise maker 'til it spoke no more, quietly curl myself back into the fetal position burrowed in the deep warm recesses of covers until four hours had passed or until God hiumself had the heart to abort my sleepy eyes from the bliss into the a world filled with fruit loops and crowded public buses that smell like sweat and overly-perfumed girls. (I think I deserve quite a few gold stars for that sentence...)
But sadly, I did not. Sadly, because I am an AMAZING, DEVOTED Gymnasium student, I stood up and shuffeled my way through the motions of breakfast and shower. I Speedily shuffeled myself to the bus stop. I stuffed myself in the crowded green bug of a bus after three other people and uncomfortably latched myself to one of the posts in the bus to maintain my balance so that I was not subject to the inertia of sudden jerkiness (I learned this word in German, it's "ruckartig" = jerky, yay Physik!).
The bus stopped on Wernerstraße and let out, as usual, over 70% of it's inhabitants in a matter of seconds, something I often involuntarily compare with a bug having it's guts squwashed out.
I shuffled myself hopeless down one block to the main entrance and I first words I spoke were "Ich will schlafen" (="I want to SLEEEEP!").
Thursday is 10 periods of school for me, where each period is equal to 45 minutes.
I first two periods I had Religion, which wasn't so bad, actually because I GOT A TEST BACK.
it was my first test in Religion that I had ever taken and I had acheived to scrape a 3- all by myself without a bonus! Which turned my face from a sleepy half-grimace to the kind of smile that could warm hearts. This is because every grade I have recieved before that one that was above a 4 were all grades I got with a bonus for German being my second language and this one WAS NOT. (!!!!!) I earned this grade, all by myself, by studying and writing down what I knew. No BULLSHIT! The teacher took me aside after she handed out all the tests and explained to me that it was not differently graded, but that if it had been I would definitely have a 1 because she was very impressed with my work.
then we had Political Science and I managed to explain almost everything I wanted to say about American political happenings in the class in German! I understood most of the notes alone and if I didn't understand I asked instead of just writing it down.
Then we had French, then Math. In math we are doing Vectors at the moment and I really like it and understand it and am trying to participate as much as possible and be able to answer every question. i hope it brings my oral grade up!!
Then we ate Döners for lunch. And it is quite the art, I declare, to eat a Döner without making a total mess. (but then again I tend to be messy and the germans are not so much (usually))
Afterwards, we had NWT! Which though being at first one of my least favorite subjects has become quite the contrary. I have realized that the only reason i ever disliked it was because I wasn't accustom to it, nor understood it and therefore decided to dislike it (something very unwise to decide in ignorance). upon arriving in class we were to recieve our notebooks that we had to organize and hand in the week before on Friday. Mine, with the help of my friend Steffi was pretty much perfect, and for it i recieved a 2+!!!!!! Which is basically an A-B type grade. All the students at Gymnasium aim for a 2 in all their classes. And I had achieved it and without any different grading as the others. On top of that i also recieved a 2 for my oral grade, meaning 50% of my grade was a 2, a grade that counter-balanced the other two not-so-fantastic test grades and made my over-all grade without any bonus a 3+!!! A grade that I am still incredibly proud of!
The rest of the day passed relatively uneventfully, except for the weird discovery that my pants had somehow ripped at a strange area on my right leg..... but hey it means I get to improve my sewing skills, right?
