So, just in case yo'll think that it's all travel and partying that i'm doing here, I thought i'd update you on the fact that I also have to study (a little bit) and the progression of learning.
There's only one week of classes left. My research for my big essay - 'Hausarbeit' is making my head hurt a little. It's to be 15 pages written in German for my Sociolinguistics subject, on the topic of German Youth-Speak, due early Feb. I'm finding trying to write and express ideas in an 'academic' way is difficult, however i'm going to a workshop next week that helps international students write Hausarbeits- hopefully that helps in terms of expression, referencing, and just everything overall. I only have one exam- for Economics, and study is progressing well. The exam is on the 2nd Feb, I'm feeling okay about it, our teacher says that it's never too difficult and students usually finish it quickly. It's still bizarre learning economic concepts in German, nevertheless I've really enjoyed it.
Next week I have a grammar test and essay due for German Language Course. Thankfully the weekly tests and assessments for that class add up to our final mark, without having a big weighty exam at the end. So i'm looking forward finishing off that course.
My reading comprehension especially has certainly benefited from all the study, and in my spare time i'm also reading a german novel- it's reasonably basic in terms of vocab, so it's understandable, and a really good book as well.
Well, I feel better about clearing up that i'm also learning stuff here ;)
Only 5 weeks left!
I love and miss you all!
