So……….had my first German exam today (which was fun haha!) but I think it went well. Now I just have two more to look forward to, one on the 17th, July and the final one on the 22nd, July. After that I am officially a free man, a bit daunting really since I’ve been studying for a while now and am not really looking forward to having no particular set schedule, but there you go…..that’s life. Things will change soon enough and then I can divert my energy into something else.

Got a small study group tomorrow because I really feel the need to polish some parts of my German grammar up before the written section of the final exam. Over the last 3 weeks that we’ve been doing German history I have an inkling that perhaps I’ve forgotten a few grammatical things here and there and there’s no way I’m walking into that exam unprepared!!

On an up note, I’ve already started my campaign to find another job (since I soon won’t be going to school daily anymore – and god, what a terrible time to be looking – think economic stagnation) and have found one job in particular that seems perfect for my skills, education and natural talent (sorry, but if I don’t big myself up who will??) and have just received a rather positive response i.e. interview opportunity. Hopefully all goes well, cross your fingers for me!!

Well, still a relatively average summer here but hang in there, it really only officially started the other day and today was quite beautiful in fact, I have a sun-kissed forehead to prove it
