I Can't Believe It's Over

I can't believe it's over.

The written test is officially completed!  After two and a half hours of some seriously intensive writing in German, I am exhausted... both mentally and physically.  I think my brain turned to mush afterwards.

It's not that the test was extremely difficult.  I certainly made sure that I was prepared, and after it's all said and done... I felt prepared... I even answered all the questions (let's be honest, that's a challenge in and of it's own). I have been dreading this test since the day I arrived in Germany.  I knew the mid-term exam was coming... I just couldn't have imagined learning all that information in German.  Now that I have... I have to say, I feel pretty confident.

Now, there's nothing I can do but sit back and wait...

Hold on.

What do you mean I can't just sit back?!

Right... the practical exam is on Thursday.

  1. Toll--I did a search for Mohnkuchen, and found your blog. I spent a year in Berlin 20 years ago, and I've been grateful ever since that I took the time to learn a 2nd language. It's a brave thing to do, and hard work, but so worth it. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
