I can't think of a title...
I know I wrote on Montag (Monday, in case some of you needed clarification :P ), but eh, exciting things keep happening. Just not to me, but I'll give you all the boring details anyway. Well, okay, not all of them are boring. For starters, I'm going to Münich this weekend. And I might be going to Austria next weekend to go skiing. hahaha, I still can't get over the fact that you can just pop over to Switzerland or Austria for the day. But Austria is only 1.5-2 hours by car. It hasn't snowed yet, but this morning guess what temperature it was.... -1.5C!! But for some reason when I walk out of the school at home-time, and it's 2C, it feels much, much colder.
I think I've had all of my classes now. They are: art, politik, social lesson, Deutsch, physik, math, biologie, geometrie, religion, Spanish, French, sport und Englisch. (Am I wowing you all with my Germman?) So far these classes are just for this week. I see the deputy principal to Freitag to make any changes. I'm probably changing art for music and religion to world religion (I can't remember the actual name for it) where you learn about all the different religions. But I don't know. I've had religion only once and it was hilarious. We went to the 'Room of Silence' and we got these nice blankets and lay on the floor. Then the teacher played this music which was just so weird and in this other language (there was a German translation, but that didn't help me much) and Hannah and Jan were being very funny. It was a thoroughly enjoyable lesson, though they say it usually isn't quite as entertaining. In biology we're learning about the eye, but the teacher dictates to the class, so I'm quite lost. Like I am in French and Spanish. I can't remember if it's advanced French and easy Spanish, or advanced Spanish and easy French....it's all the same. In French yesterday the teacher wrote 3 sentences on the board and told the class to translate them into French....I sat there translating it into English so I could understand them!! Math, geomety and physics are still very confusing for me because I hear snippets of stuff I know and then the rest is unrelated. In physics this afternoon all I heard was 'Kelvin' (temperature), 'Kelvin'! But that was more confusing, because the graph was in Celsius!! (a little discourse there for the science peeps! Rock on Senior English!) I freeze my butt of in sport because we're in the gym and, yeah, it's cold! I had English for the first time today, and the teacher made me stand up in front of the class and introduce myself and say a little about me -- I was very quick! She then asked me if I would talk to the class in the next week or two about my school. Though it's not my school anymore (sniff, sniff). So I have that to look forward to.
And while I'm still on the topic of lessons, I'm about to go to my first German lesson at the Women's Centre, and soon I might be able to talk to the people in my class. Some are very reluctant to talk to me, because of their English. That and maybe they don't want to talk to me, hahaha. A Japanese exchange student at the school was fluent in German after only 2 months! I'll see how I go, huh?
Well, this blog turned out to be bigger than I anticipated, so I'll end it.
Now.
