I haven't slept yet. I should be studying.
My German final is at 2:30 today, and I should have devoted most of the weekend to studying. I didn't, of course, which, I suspect, will lead to a very awkward ten minutes of improvised speech. I can handle the written part of the class, but the oral aspects give me trouble. I guess it is the same with English, come to think about it.
Anyway, my final consists of telling a fairy tale of a donkey who plans to become a street musician in order to escape certain death. So far I have "Einen Mann hatte einmal einen Esel.(a man once had a donkey)" down with no problem. After that it gets a bit shaky.
For those of you that don't know my name, der erzahler, means the narrator (well, it would if it were spelled correctly.) Today I will probably prove that I don't really live up to my name.
