Dreading what's to come in 4 hours. Fall German Weekend.
Yeah, I know it's supposed to be fun, and I'm gonna try not to be pissy the whole time. But it's already gotten off to a bad start because everyone's so damn disorganized with car pooling and such. I remember last year we were at least better organized than this . . Then again, we had two more cars back then. Of people I actually know. Now there are at least six people that have to ride with strangers for 2 and a half hours. Fun! Can I just play DS the whole time? Please?
Not to mention the sleeping conditions . . we might as well be sleeping outside, seriously. We're rooming in this sorta camp site looking place and it has no heat and the mattresses . . I'm not even being picky here, the mattresses are horrible. They hurt. I don't even think I slept a wink last year because it was so cold and uncomfortable.
Granted the rest of it was fun (besides being forced into retarded, random games with strangers from Saint Louis University) but ugh, after already having experienced it, I hope all of the misery is worth one German credit.
This whole week hasn't been that great in general. It could be worse, but I feel like I'm just going through the motions and wishing every day that Spring semester will get here. The highlights were that I got to spend the night at Carpio's twice instead of just once (even though one was insomniatic . . if that's a word), I got to draw, I got to play DS, and I caught Zapdos and Moltres. I never really have time to draw or play DS so you'd think I'd be ecstatic, but I'm still feeling overwhelmed, especially by the Berlin night class, which I hate because it is probably the most boring class I've ever taken. And gives too much work. About more stuff that I don't care about. The one thing I have learned from this class is that just because a class is in the lovely German language, doesn't mean the content of what's being talked about is lovely. It can still be boring as fuck. I can understand exactly what the professor is saying, know the answer, etc, but that doesn't make me want to participate at all. And I think last night I just stopped trying to participate, because it's just not there. I've come to terms that if I get a B in this class, I'll be happy as long as I can just get through it and move on. I just despise it that much. Thanks to Thanksgiving (haha), I at least only have 4 more classes of it instead of 5. You will surely know, that on this Thanksgiving, I will definitely have something to be thankful for!!
Oh and I don't like the professor either. She's scary and expects us to know how to say political or governmental terms in German. Most of all, she expects us to care about it. Psshh. The whole class actually told her that the book she's making us read is too difficult to really understand (even the students who are really good at German and have lived in Germany for years, etc), which resulted in "Okay, you can read a little less then!" No, you're not getting it, we don't understand. I feel like most of the stuff she makes us do is way past our level. The other students agree so it's not just my imagination . . Ugh, I just cannot wait until it's over, this semester has probably been the most difficult period of schooling in my life, and I really think it is mostly the Berlin Class's fault. When I picture life without it, it's like a weight has been lifted and everything becomes so much easier.
Sorry for all the complaining, I've been energetic, restless, and blunt lately, maybe because Saggi time is fast approaching. And this sudden uncaring towards my schoolwork and just wanting to have fun will probably just worsten as it gets closer and closer to November 22nd. Which is not good because I have two major projects due on December 2nd. And one of them is for that dreaded class. I don't know how I'll survive . . x__x I really feel like a true college student now . .
