klausurs and some updates=D

Am sitting in the library right now, having absolutely no interest in the notes in front of me whatsoever. *Now when you have spent almost the last 4 hours staring at 4 pages of slides, you would have the same feeling too...*

My understanding of things, the entire process of relearning things is sooo slow! Can't believe it.

Went a-walking on Sunday, to smell the fishy smell of the lake (no it doesn't smell salty, just fishy, since the water level has descended so much that it is exposing some of the lake's bed, so I see dried water plants and millions of tiny mussels, which crack like twigs when you walk on them...they are already long dead and deserted, those shells.) Tried walking on ice, and gauging my estimation of thin ice...(not very good, fell into sloshy shallow puddles at times, but v fun=)) see people walking their dogs and all...

Was ice-skating with Sara, Johanna and Claudia last Sat...and the latest news is that Claudia and Lars are together. =) I realised that I wouldn't have known if I hadn't gone ice-skating with them, had a teeny suspicion, but didn't dare to ask. Turns out that I wasn't the last to find out! (haha, a tiny bit of improvement from the clueless me in sec sch and jc)

Last wed was the international classroom cooking thingy. It was really 'all in a day's work' for me then. I had a french dictation, a Personel and Organisation probeklausur, AND the cooking thing right after my probeklausur. *stress* But it went on fine...hope the pple don't get food poisoning from my wantons=) But was glad that so many of my friends came...Sara came, of course, my steady friend=) and she learnt how to make wantons, at TOP SPEED. I see why she wanted to be a cook at first=)

My referat last thurs (the very next day) went on well=) I could understand everything in the discussion after that. Prof Freitag even said that it was one of the most difficult texts in the sem, and that the additional stuff I brought in into the discussion were helpful to the understanding of the text *ting beams*. I was really glad that my classmates could understand me...thanks to sara again for vetting my script! One of them, a really taciturn girl, even told me that it was a good prep=D *yay*

OK have to go on for my lecture now. It is dear Herr Seibel again! (The lecturer who promised all of us a very cute fluffy spongebob pen that lights up when you write with it if we get the last qn of the klausur right and do quite well of course=)) Right, gtg!

*muah* ting
