Learning Journal # 22 Tests are over now
Today we had our last test for this year (I may have some in Germany left, but who cares), it was a Math’s test and I hadn’t really the time to study and also didn’t understand the theme during the classes so I wasn’t really confident when I entered the room. And my bad expectations came true when I saw the test. I wasn’t able to respond a lot and I think, no, I know that this test will have a negative result, but ‘Hey, life goes on!’
Learning Journal #21 Homesick?
The time is running and soon I’ll have to return to Germany. At one site I am happy to see my friends and family again but on the other site I’d liked to stay a few more months, just during the summer to travel around or hang or at the beach –which I can rarely find in Germany. It’s also a crazy feeling to know that I’ll get homesick for Portugal – which isn’t the place where I raised up or where my family lives – even when I am at my ‘real’ home.
Learning Journal # 20 Pirates of the Caribbean
Yesterday I went to the movie theater to watch the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, I really liked the other parts so I expected a lot. But I have to say that I was a little bit disappointed with this movie, Jonnie Depp was brilliant like always and I also liked the part with the mermaids but some parts of the plot were lame. But maybe I just think like that because of my high expactations.
Learning Journal # 18 ‘You’re killing me’- week
‘You’re killing me’- week, I think that is the perfect name for what our teachers had done with us. We had so many tests and a few presentations, so studying hard and a long time for a test wasn’t really possible, but I’m happy that this week is over, there are just 2 tests left and then I’m done. I think I did the best I can and will be successful – at least at English.
Learning Journal # 18 Day of Europe
At 9th of May – the day of Europe – all foreign students of our school were invited to listen to a presentation about Europe and its future politics. After that we were asked to talk about our country. But at this point I misunderstood the organizing teacher and prepared a few sentences about a specific monument instead about Germany in general. So I was unprepared, nervous and with the worst Portuguese in front of about 70 students. But I stammered a few words and I am still alive.
Learning Journal # 17 VfB Stuttgart
My favorite football club VfB Stuttgart – which lost 2times against Benfica in the Europa League this year- played a really season, they were always in the last places an it seemed a long time that they won’t stay in the first league. But they were able to manage things and stayed. I think they were under the top 5 teams in the second part of the season what shows that they are a really good team. I hope they can reach a better place next year.
