Work work~

I will never again volunteer to take two vocab quizzes at once.  I think I have something like 200 nouns and adjectives and a stupid number of irregular verbs floating in my head now.  That being said, I'm pretty sure I did well on them.  Mind you, I did not do well on the German midterm though I thought I did.  80%, by far the worst grade I've gotten in that class so far (I think second worst is a flat 90% on a quiz), and it's just stupid mistake after stupid mistake.  I actually guessed all the verbs I'd forgotten in the vocab section right, yet I somehow managed to conjugate ALL of them wrong.  Which is ridiculous since it's not like I don't know how to conjugate verbs!

Politics exam tomorrow.  I have a chapter (and a half?  don't remember if I finished the last one or not) to read, and then all the review questions.  I'd also like to start on my German homework, or at least make sure I understand everything in the chapter.  It's the simple past tense that I haven't looked at yet, so I'll have to read that section through and start memorizing irregulars.

And I need to plan this Disney World trip.

Good luck for tomorrow!!!! And thanks for the 'hint' with the simple past tense... I'll do some serious thinking a bit later today and see if I can come up with a reasonable 'basic rule'. :P

Hi again. :P I've just had a quick thought about and look on the internet for past tense rules and I think this webpage might be quite useful actually. It even has quizzes where you can check yourself. Hope this helps a bit (don't know anything how your book is structured or anything).

Here's the link:

Thanks a bunch. :) I'm doing a massive cram session for politics right now, but I'll definitely check out the link tomorrow!

Good luck then! :P Yeah, I thought you might enjoy it (as you seem to like quizzes). If you have any questions, just knock on my 'virtual door' here. :)

I could help plan it if you want me to ._.;. You're just gonna need to tell me what you want done.

P.S. The wood-texture background of this comment box is really damn cute.

Well, I'll be back from China on June 1st. Otherwise, there's not that much to plan. Do you want to go in June or August/September/before summer ends? I think I've got a musical-hopping trip with [livejournal.com profile] cricep planned for mid-August, but right now, my summer schedule depends a lot on when school starts again. Barnard starts on the 25th of August, which is mad early.

...I ended up thinking way too far into this. Frankly, do you have a preference?

Good luck with German! If I can help you, just let me know. xD It's probably a tad difficult online, but still! And yay for good German marks and good guessing. At least you won't remember how to conjugate verbs now?

Good luck with politics and German!! Just think of all the nice things that are going to happen when it gets a bit too much. <3
