Estonian Day No. 45.

What I forgot to say yesterday: meeting Janika (a girl from class 12 who talks damn good English and kinda looks slightly after me) on the corridor, she told me after a short chat that by now I can say "tšau" without any accent. So first I was reeeeeally happy! And then I thought: how much bloody accent can you have saying a word with only four letters? And if your accent is so bad there - how much worse is it with longer words or whole sentences...? That was the point when I decided to cast my mind off this topic. :D

Today I decided to write a test in ajalugu. I mean, I thought I would have to do it, and then, when our teacher was handing out the test sheets, she asked me if I wanted one too. That was the point when I lost all my panic I had had before and said, very relaxed: "I can try." So I tried. I'll get maximum a 3, but still, I felt good afterwards because I had shown some ambition. Maybe I should've been a little ambitious some time earlier and learned for the test...

In German, I had to talk about the different schooltypes in Germany, and then answer the question whether it's true that only "difficult" people without discipline and immigrants go to Hauptschule. That kind of hit me. I never would've thought of such a question.

After school, Ilona asked me "Did you know that your first physics test was the best one in all the class?" I answered frankly "yes." They had had a teachers' conference and had a look at different test results together. There she had noticed this. Then she said "You had 88% in the first test in English!" So I kinda apologized, and told her that the second one was better, and that I'll try harder in the future. Her reaction: "Do you have some complex?!" That was nice.

Now I just went online on eKool and found out that I got a 5 in the last keemia test. That's soooo great! Already my fourth 5! (Out of the only four grades I got till now!) And in chemistry! Even in Germany I was not always that good...!


Later the same day.

Uuuaaaaah! I am soooo happy! Eva, my host sister in Germany, just told me that she will probably spend a part of her autumn holidays in Gera! And then she will meet my mother, and my sister, and my brother, and my brother-in-law, and my best friend too, maybe! And somehow I am reeeeally excited about this whole thing although it actually doesn't have much to do with me. But still, I love it.
