German Class and Woodwork

Thu Jul 2, 2009, 12:43 PM
I'm sorry there's been so little activity on my account as of late. It's been a difficult month. The German class I signed up for has proven to be more frustrating than educational. I've struggled through every homework assignment only to get it back covered in blood. It's obvious that my command of the basic grammar rules of German and the gender of nouns is insufficient to keep up with the class material. Since the class is 14 students, the professors don't have enough time to give students individualized attention; therefore, I continue to struggle while the professors focus their energies on the students whom they feel have a chance of passing...and I'm not on that list. Fortunately, there's only one week left and then I'll have time to study up on the basics at the house.

Since class in winding down, I got the time today to finish my pictures from Scotland, and for one of my German watchers (Du weißt wer du bist) I have a picture of the completed computer desk, with speakers and gramophone installed along with a picture of my classic turntable, which happens to be a one-of-a-kind prototype that never went into mass production. Finishing the desk was one of Kamui's birthday presents. So, now the monitors sit level on their new glass shelf, and the left and right channel speakers are standing vertical for the first time since I built the new desk. Things are looking good here. I hope all is well with the rest of you.

  • Mood: Joy
  • Listening to: Kamui gab on the phone with her mom
  • Reading: German news articles
  • Watching: The Daily Show/Colbert Report
  • Playing: occasional board games
  • Eating: spaghetti
  • Drinking: unsweetened cranberry juice
