The Olympics are finally here!!!

15 Feb 2010 In: Other

Hi guys,

After almost 3 month of talking about it, the time has finally come. The games have started. Everyone is so excited about it. When Canada won the gold medal, it was so crazy. I just left the lobby; I had a shift at that time and watched the spectacle in the West Vancouver Community Centre. It’s so crazy, you wouldn’t believe it. Everyone is wearing red and white. You see the slogans: “Go Canada go” and ” with glowing hearts” at every skyscraper. Downtown is so crowded. I don’t like that so much. I always try to act uo with German athelets, but they haven’t been doing too well. Anyway, I have a ticket for figuere skating, and I assume I’ll have one for hockey soon. I didn’t have to pay for figure skating, it was gift from Alexa, but I need to pay for hockey. Me and Tobias want to see Germany vs. Belarus.
There’s nothing else to tell you, guys.
Enjoy the games and see if you can find me on TV ;)
I just saw an ard shuttle yesterday ;)
Take care, miss you all
Anika

Status Quo

Another schedule change! Yay. Then I’ll finally be satisfied with my schedule…

The change? I’m going to get out of Business Support Systems. And I’m going to get in Physics PreAP. But, wait… don’t I already have Physics AP?

That’s right. But I’m going to be “Assistant” for my Physics teacher in the PreAP-class. PreAP is a bit behind to what the AP does, thus it is also some kind of repeat for all the stuff I’ve done in the AP (AP matches “Leistungskurslevel”). Damn it, I like doing that… :D

Semester Exams

14 Jan 2010 In: USA

I’m sitting bored at the PC during my last semester exam… Semester exams are – like the name obviously says – exams about whatever one learnt throughout the whole semester. But you can be exempt from exams if your semester average grade is over 90% – and I was exempt from six out of eight exams. I only had to take Spanish and English exams…

Yep, here I am, in Spanish 3. Some of you may already know that I am technically in my third year of Spanish now. I got bored in Spanish 1 with four years of Latin in my back… only learnt the conjugations for present tense. In half a year! So I talked to the spanish teachers, and the question was: Spanish 2 or Spanish 3?
Comment of the teacher…

“I think you are gonna like Spanish 3 more than my Spanish 2 class. My Spanish 2 class has a lot of dumb people, you wouldn’t fit there, a bunch of students stupid like a box of candy.. there are two smart students, but that’s about it.”

Haha, fine then… :D I guess I’ll take Spanish 3, which matches 12th grade Spanish in Germany. So I’m actually one year ahead… howsoever. My semester exam was supposed to be a Spanish 1 Final, but it ended up being a Spanish 1 Semester Exam…

WTF
