I'm going to update, although it's painful. I completely lost my sense of identity and was completely reckless and irresponsible for the past few months. I ended up making all As after really kicking my ass in the end (some are minuses, unlike last semester, but I'm trying REALLY hard not to let this bother me...) but it wasn't worth it.

I have a date tonight to "get my Serbo-Croatian dictionary back" from Jonathan. I'm packing my toothbrush and psyching myself up.

I did it! I've arrived! I spent all day reading trashy romance novels in German (I justify this as a once-a-year language-learning experience) and at last I'm home! I am having to relearn how to use this American-style keyboard um meine Y und Z nicht zu verwechseln ( Read more... )
