You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself, any direction you choose. -Dr. Seuss

So Thursday, my first exam in Spain.

          I'm gonna be 100% honest here, I knew I was gonna fail that exam awhile before I actually took it. I knew what I was supposed to study, but didn't even bother to try. Why? Because it was over 17 pages of literature notes.. full of VOCAB.. yeah also it was over poetry in class and the first half of a Spanish play (La Celestine)(we were supposed to read that on our own). That one I did try, and failed epically. Then I found an english version of the play online, it didn't make much more sense either. Early on I decided I wasn't going to waste my precious time attempting to do lit. homework, instead I spend my time doing other less impossible assignments. Like: math, biology, writing a paper over Alexander Fleming (1 1/2 pages of success :D), philosophy, and occasionally chemistry.

         So test day comes and I realize just how big of a deal these exams are... EVERYONE is studying. My biology teacher gave us the class time to study! In lunch, unimportant classes (*cough* philosophy, english, religion..), and in the breaks EVERYONE was studying.

        Then finally the time came for the exam.. desk were moved apart, exam passed out, and the teacher explained the direction, made it clear no talking during the test, not even to ask him a question. (Yep it was intense)

       When I started to read the test, I was able to read and understand the instructions. I actually knew what I was supposed to do. But it stopped there. The exam was only one side of a paper, four different parts or so, and on the back we needed to write a summary of what we read in La Celestine. I answer 4 questions I think.. and as for the summary, I read an online summary so I knew what happened in the play, but guess who couldn't remember the names of the characters?? yepp, me, this brings me to fail #103294 of the year so far.

         Result: Lotte probably is going to get the worst grade she's ever gotten in her life and honestly she could careless. Hopefully mr. literature teacher (who I can't tell apart from mr. chem/physics teacher) will have the exams checked by tomorrow.





Last weekend I went out with my friends again, a ton of funnnn :) I remember my camera this time so I have pictures.

Today is Monday and the morning sucked, mostly because it's a Monday, but also because my worst class are all one after another: Religion, Physics/Chem, and then Philosophy. Fun right?  Nope, Monday mornings I normally have to use all my super powers to try and stay awake. (Not because of lack of sleep, but rather because I so BORED!) But the rest of the day went a lot better. My teacher didn't show in my computer class, so we just sat around in the hallway and talked, I got to meet some people in the class I didn't talk to before. (We were in the hallway because we were locked out of the lab because... the teacher didn't show haha), then after reading a page out of our biology book my bio teacher let us do homework the rest of the hour, so I had someone help with some homework I didn't really understand.  Finally we had Sciences of the Contemporary World, where I turned in my first paper (remember the 1 1/2 pages of awesomeness) and people that wanted to could read them out loud so most the class we watching my classmates read their paper out loud.

Easy day for the most part. :) And we just got back from the gym... exercise, I always forget how much I hate it until, I get roped into it somehow. But it helped me relax a bit and I felt a lot better leaving the gym then I did when I came.

This coming weekend AFS Orientation: I'm pumped!

The next weekend MADRID! Woohoo! I can't wait :)

Sorry about the super ramblyness of this post. It's late and I'm really tired. I'll try and make the next one better:)
