Well I got my English homework done but unfortunately it distracted me and so I was late to German. I was so discouraged halfway through I thought about just unobtrusively leaving and dropping the course. Sigh. It's not my favorite way to learn a language (although it's popular enough that it must be effective, right?) and it's only one night a week instead of two, which really sucks, but what really throws me off is that many of the students are not beginners. They are further along but are what... keeping their hand in? Or taking a refresher or something. So we learn stuff and it's like, damn, everyone has it down pat. Not really everyone, but those of us that are new and such get drowned out because we're quiet. Sigh. Luckily the teacher is totally aware and takes care of us. Plus he is just a fun and interesting guy, very likable. And we got more into vocab etc instead of "say this like you know what you're talking about" so by the end of the class I was very glad I stayed and feel much better. I think I just need to study alot more during the week. Being late didn't exactly help me slip into a foreign-language learning frame of mind either. Okay, enough whining, I know other people have worse problems, whatever.
Need food. Muchly. I do not take happy care of myself when it is just me and the cats all the time. Keep skipping meals accidently because when I'm alone I get focused, and when I'm focused, I don't notice the outside world stuff like *time passing*. So need to eat and I think most places are closed. Bah, must cook for myself. Bahbahbah... I say that too much. Bah.
