Ack! Finals!!

This paragraph will be in German as my final is on Wednesday and I need the practice.

Heute ist der dritte December. Am Freitag nach Abendsessen meine Freunin und ich haben Apples to Apples fur sechs Uhren gespielt. Am Samstag wir haben fur vier Uhren gespielt. Dann wir sind zur Abendessen gegangen. Gestern Abend wir haben Spirited Away, Nausicaa, und Porco Rosso gesehen. Heute Joe, Jessica, und Greg sind zur Grab 'n' Go gegangen, und ich hat ein Sobe Adrenaline und caffeinated wasser gekaufen. Morgen muss ich arbeiten. Ich muss studieren. Diese Woche habe ich finals.

Today is December 3rd. On Friday after dinner my friends and I played Apples to Apples* for six hours. On Saturday we played for four hours. Then we went to dinner. Yesterday evening we watched Spirited Away, Nausicaa, and Porco Rosso*. Today Joe, Jessica, Greg, and I went to Grab 'n' Go and I bought a Sobe Adrenaline and caffeinated water*. Tomorrow I have to work. I have to study. I have finals this week.

*Apples to Apples is a hell of a game, especially with a bunch of highly caffeinated nerds. It works much better late at night, however, than in the middle of the day.
*We had a bit of a Miyazaki marathon. One of my friends is a high priesess of the First Church of Hayao Miyazaki in Quebec. I shit you not. They tried to get it made in to an official religion, just to see if they could, and it worked. Apparently she has the power to marry people. I think I know where I'm going for my hypothetical wedding.
*Yes, caffeinated water.

Okay, so my German isn't over complicated. I've only been taking it for ten weeks. I can say a lot more, but you don't need my life story and I don't have time. Damn finals. Maybe when I get home I'll do a series of posts in German, because I need to practice over break anyway. I had intended to start my studying on Friday night, but unfortunately for my academic career, I have friends. I got very little done on Friday, and absolutely nothing on Saturday. But I had fun, and I still have two and a half days with only a little work time, and who needs sleep?

I was on the verge of freaking out about my Geology exam when I thought I'd check my grade in the class so far. Apparently, if I got full points on the last lab (and it was an easy one), I have 84%. Assuming the final is 100 points like the midterm, I don't have to do very well to pass, and that's all I need to do. I've barely managed an A in German and now I'll try to study hard for that one to keep it high. German's easier to study for, and I'm better at it , so the freak-out factor is considerably lower. I am slightly panicky about getting a B, because I really want my GPA to stay at 4.0 for once. I hate myself for not sudying German more and getting better grades on the tests. I'm not really worried about Old English. It figures that my only upper-division class is the one I'm doing best in.
