Preparing for My Second German Test

I've got a record to maintain.



Last time, I got twenty-eight points out of thirty. Better than anybody else. My classmates pretend not to care when I make a point of reminding them of this accomplishment even weeks afterwards, but I know they've taken note. And tomorrow we have our second test. It's their chance to take me down. (Provided anybody cares to show up).

They might have a chance.

I haven't done homework for weeks. I can't motivate, and I'm also really busy. But I have shown up to almost all the classes. Tonight I have to study like a daemon and comfort myself that nobody cares as much as I do.

I also just ate a ton of chocolate. Supposed to be good for memory. Also bananas, because potassium is killer for tests. I've memorized all the irregular verbs. From binden (bindet --> band --> hat gebunden) to geniessen (geniesst --> genoss --> hat genossen).

But that's only the beginning (beginnt --> begann --> hat begonnen). Also on the test is a bunch of separable prefixes, special modal verbs, plus verbs with prepositions that switch cases from dative to accusative depending on the context.

This is gonna be a bitch. Wish me luck!

UPDATE: I'm starting to feel nauseous from all that chocolate. I'm also braindead tired. These sub-freezing temperatures are killing me. I just popped an ibuprofen and I'm done for the night, I'll briefly review the worksheets tomorrow before the test, and see what happens.

(How's that for lowering expectations!)
