(no subject)
I've been pretty busy, I guess.
School is hard, but I like it. Have been doing loads of homework as of recently, and I'm really glad I got some nicer headphones due to the fondness that a certain person that I might live with may have for watching television twenty-fourhoursaday.
I'm really getting into and enjoying German recently. I had a test yesterday, and (apparently college has a fast test turnaround time) I got a ninety-two that I am incessantly proud of and hung on our mini-fridge.
It's really rather hilarious how much the Germans love compound words. For example, the number 4,329. We say four thousand three hundred twenty-nine, in German it's viertausenddreihundertneunundzwanzig. That's vier-tausend-drei-hundert-neun-und-zwanzig, all one word. Crazy!
Right, so German is terribly fascinating, and I love languages. If anybody has any music in German that they'd be willing to share, throw me a comment, because I need to get better at listening! The dictation portion of the test was my downfall. I bought two albums with George the other day, but one of them ended up being completely instrumental, which was just silly.
My math class is a little ridiculous. /= In lecture on Friday we went over long division, and today we looked at terminating/repeating decimals.
I'm starting to eat meat again, which is kind of weird. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. My options are rather limited at the dining halls, what with my inability to properly digest cream/dairy products, so I've been trying to taste around to see what I could maybe possibly tolerate, as the two-omelets-a-day diet is really growing tiresome, despite my love for breakfast. But I think I like turkey, I had a TLT (I really hope this is a real term) sandwich today. And I continue to pilfer two to three bananas each time I make the trip. (:
Nothing else new, really. Very busy, lots of homework, eating meat, loving German. Thumbsup.
OH WAIT, except I'm getting a new computer. Lionel's youthful vigor is dwindling, and he tends to need a nap after only twenty to thirty minutes of use, which is not helpful to me when I am in Greek History and my professor goes through the material so quickly that even when I'm typing I miss things. My dad's going to see what he can do to fix him, since we believe that he is still under warranty, but I can't exactly not have a computer while he's being mended.
I'm getting a MacBook, which is actually already at my house, but I am not at my house, so I do not have it. Carl and I are driving home this weekend for this reason, and also because I am actually rather homesick after not seeing my mom for like three weeks. But yes, her name is Aubergine. ((: I'm quite excited.
Homework now! Geography (in a Changing World) test tomorrow.
