One Of The Most Ridiculous Things I've Ever Tried To Do

is learn German IN Italian. When your mother-tongue isn't involved AT ALL it makes it a lot harder for information to stick in the brain. I feel like the all the words just slosh around long enough to find an escape route and leave. So that is why I'm extremely happy with myself because I studied only German last night and during first block, and during second block I did a vocabulary test AND an oral exam and I think that (if we were to convert my grades to the American system) I got at least a C on both tests. Maybe more. In America I would be disappointed, but I'm feeling pretty ecstatic about it here.
