Thanks for the support guys, it really means a lot to me...and thank you Freesy for going with me yesterday, even though I probably wasn't much valuable company at moments, but nobody likes to go to those feedback sessions alone...
I'm a bit more positive today. I went to my prof of General Linguistic Science and last time I saw him was horrible. This time he was a lot friendlier, could be cos I was trying to sound calm while last time I was very agitated. We had a rational conversation about the changing of credits from 3 to 5 and how we were going to solve it. He didn't know about the change either, and felt sorry for me, and said that I didn't have to study more material for the retake, just the old stuff, but for 5 credits like the administration says. He gave me some tips to study better, cos I honestly told him that I didn't know what exactly he expected from me. We looked at some example questions and let's hope that this time I finally can get rid of this stupid course!
My thesis promotor said that I had to try to talk more active german instead of only reading*passive* german texts, so I might take you up on that offer Helly/Tina. It will be weird though, I feel more secure with my English...
He also told me they only gave me a 10 for my Hausarbeit, cos there were uncertainties about the "plagiarism" issue, even though I carefully stated my sources at the end of the page. I really need to work on the quoting or paraphrasing thing for my thesis also, cos Hausarbeit is still something totally different than the actual scientific thesis.
