ich verstehe nichts.

Ok, I have no idea how I am going to get passing grade the first part of this school year. Honestly, I don't understand anything the teachers are saying. And we pretty much just sit there and the teachers lecture. Both teachers and students change classrooms, so all the rooms are bare with nothing on the walls. They have chalk boards and windows, that it. And EVERYONE has a pensil case. I just throw my pens and pencils in my backpack. A little easier, just less organized. Teachers wear whatever they want, they dont't really dress up. Each class is 45 minutes long, so a double period is an hour and a half. Lunch is the same time long. The first class starts at 7:50 and the last gets out at 5. Thank goodness my latest class goes only to 3:30. Today i didnt have anything the first two periods, then I had physik. I dont know if i am going to keep that class. I wasnt that good at it last year, but in a foreign language?? And we are starting with electricity...something we only spent 2 weeks on last year. And then i had English. Sehr gut stunde. The teacher spoke in English. We talked about hurricane katrina, and then watched a clip from CNN, I was hoping it would be in English. :) Then we had to do a little paper on it. The teacher asked for a volunteer to go write on the board so i thought, hey why not. She still didn't know I was an exchange student. But I think she must have had some hint since my accent was ''so good.'' hahah. So then I told her, but in German. hehe. She talked to me a bit after class, and wants to read my writing. After that there was a 15 minute break, and then double ethik. (eithics). The only thing i recognized was freiheit, which means freedom, determination (spelled the same in German), and Voltaire. Other than that I was lost. But there are a few girls in that class interested in talking to me. And then I had PE. BUt crikey, I cant write any longer, Manfred and I are going to a Rotary meeting. tomorrow.....
