Thanks Dave for giving me this song a long time ago - called “You’re The Storm” by the Cardigans.

Ok ok ok… I suppose I should write before I go on “Vacation”. By that, I mean that next week I am planning to flee to West Germany during our spring break. I will spend time with my German uncle, and then some new German friends, and then hopefully make it to Zürich for a few days.

My parents came to visit me last weekend… it was very nice to see them here. Unfortunately, Dad has all the pictures, so you can only just imagine the incredibly good-looking Feucht family wandering around Berlin. How nice, eh?

I have finished the B12 level in the Goethe Institut… and now I’m in B2 (which technically means I’m an intermediate German speaker now… no longer a beginner!!!)

We had a nice goodbye party… here is some pictures of my class:

Narja (Brazil), Me!, and our German teacher:

Laura (Romania), Narja (Brazil), ME!!!, and Victoria (Canada)

We took a few pictures of the whole class, but those are currently in someone else’s camera. Dude, I really need to start learning to take my own pictures. I’m just too lazy, I guess.

Today I took the “Zertifikat Deutsch” test. I passed with a “good” (equivalent to the American “B”). That makes me glad… but then again, when you pay 110 Euros for a test, you kind of want to pass it.

The people correcting my oral exam say that I tend to not finish my sentences. I have a queasy feeling that I do that in English as well. Woops…

My host woman and I are becoming good friends. We had some good long chats since I’ve lived with her. Maybe I should take a picture of her, so then my blog won’t be this boring. Haha. Na ja, I am gonna shut up now!

Have a good weekend, everybody!

Love, DeeMarie
