A Little Nervous

I'm crossing my fingers and drucking my Daumen and picking him up with a bottle of Sekt!

The Many Expressions of G

G will be done with his very last written exam in 3 hours. Tschaka tschaka! Looking forward to seeing his post-exams face.

Los geht's

G's 2-week bar exam marathon starts tomorrow and he's I'm totally restless. Please wish him luck/cross your fingers/hold down your thumbs -- whatever it is you do in your country!

Sick

Also, sorry for the lack of updates lately!

Boo yah!

This is a little late, but G passed his law Staatsexam (with flying colours!) on Thursday. His parents and brother came to Berlin, and we had a weekend-long family celebration of food and booze and more food.

Congrats, G!

exam day 1 in a nutshell

I drew this while sitting on the steps to the classroom waiting to be let inside for exam day 2.

exam day 2 is over. I am le tired.

Typewriters and Environment and Such

Holy. I turned 26 today. I feel strange about that for some reason.

Wonderful day so far: G baked me a chocolate cake, made me breakfast, and showered me with presents, including a beautiful red typewriter!

I've always always always wanted a typewriter! Whoop!

About an hour after that, G got the results for his written Staatsexam and found out that he'd passed with an awesome grade! Whoop!

Heading to the therme and sauna to celebrate later on. Yay!

And here are some environment-related comics. I know. Totally unrelated, I know. I drew them yesterday.

Par-tay!

BOOYAH!

Went to my language school to pick up my C2 German exam results. I passed! With much better marks than expected! BOOYAH!

Okay, so I was actually a little bit sneaky because the exam just got more difficult starting this January (I took mine in December right before the change), but as of last December it was the highest level that you could achieve. So yes. Patting myself on the back. :)

That being said, there's still lots to learn:

Yup.

First day of my German exam is now over, and I'm relaxing a bit. It was snowing quite a bit in the morning, and it was nice to sit next to the heating by the window and look out at the snow while I thought about which of the prepositions to use (and in combination with which gender, and whether it was dativ or akkusativ). I counted all the answers I was pretty sure of, and it looks like I should be okay for the written part. Well. Better not speak too soon. Results come out January 10. My oral exam is tomorrow is in the afternoon, with some guy named Marcel. Maurice. Something Frenchy-sounding.

Anywho. Here's one about a recent encounter with a bearded hipster.

Maybe I do need stronger opinions.
