as predicted, a pretty good day today.

English class, the class except me wrote a test. the test was optional for me, naturally i declined, but it was also impossible for me because it was a written project linking a short story from previously in the semester with a current text.i never read it, so impossible. but the really interesting part is this: the teacher was marking tests from another class, and on three different occasions, he asked me for a consult. a legit consult in the proper use of language, and if something made sense to me, or how i would word it instead, or if i could say exactly what was wrong with the sentence. yeah. i was not sure how to feel about that, still not too sure...but it was pretty awesome.
i also spoke to this teacher outside after school about the typical FAQ for my exchange. how was canada, why did you choose Bad Hersfeld, who is your exchange student...etc. good times.

math class was a joke. i have dropped the pretense and now i play minecraft in the class. my teacher knows and does not care, he knows that i cannot understand what he is saying. it would be unfair to my classmates to have him help me in English because this work is far ahead of me, and he is busy with legitimate questions from students who are there to learn. he has enough work already, and him teaching me more math on top of that would hurt the learning environment for my fellow students. this was a legitimate consideration of mine, i am not simply trying to cover my back about playing games in class. but yeah. i play minecraft. for over 2 hours in school today. maybe i should get out my psych instead...probably.

we ate cake again in sixth block. not sure why, but every tuesday and most thursdays, we eat cake. i don't understand but i like it.

seventh block. Björn had latin, and i had a spare, so (my thinking ahead skills) i had my gym clothes with me, so i changed and went for a run, on the track near the school. deserted area, but the gate wasn't locked and there was no sign, so i assume it was open. i kinda hope so, it was a good spare. practiced my Taekwondo patterns too, although it was really weird doing them in shoes...don't want to forget those :p get back to the school all sweaty, it was just easier to say 'yes, i just had sports, kinda' than to explain 4 or 5 times that no i didn't, but i'm a keener and went for a run. (i love how keener is in the blogspot dictionary...)

Went to Oma's house again for supper/lunch. (at 15:00, not sure what to call it...). rice, meat in sauce, tomato something salad (better than it sounds) and a banana-like dessert with chocolate shavings. it was awesome, as always. we go back on Thursday. i think this might be a static eating arrangement, we go every Tuesday and Thursday. i like this.

Bratwurst night tonight, as is every Tuesday. I like German Tuesdays...

fell asleep at 7, maybe a 15 minute nap. i wan't tired, just wasn't doing anything. I find that sleep makes the time just go faster, that i usually how i pass long waits. in this case, the wait was for something more interesting to happen.

yeah. tomorrow looks good too, although for different reasons. details to follow.

bis morgen!
