There are two ways I could look at this past semester at my home university: 1. Considering I didn’t have a bigger break since August last year when I left for USD, this has been the longest consecutive amount if time I spent at school. However, 2. Since I came back for this semester in Germany about five weeks, this has actually been the shortest semester ever. Also, with only two classes a week and one weekend seminar it was also a pretty relaxing time. Either way, now I am on my break until my internship in mid-August, and I am already bored as hell ^^. Especially with boiling heat outside, it’s not as much fun as thought it would be.
To take a quick review, however, this semester was pretty successful. I got credited two of my USD course with straight A’s. That will get up my mean grade. Also, I finished my oral test with a straight A, thanks to my time in the US. Here I am especially thankful to my teacher Dennis Sjolie for the help in the class last year, to my language tutor Abbey, and to all my friends from the Mafia, who talked to me for eight long months. Sounds silly, but it could have been a different trip if I hadn’t met these great people. Worst case scenario, I could have sat in my room all day and only come out for classes. Luckily, it didn’t happen , I almost learned to get rid of my German accent. Quote from random girl the last day in Vermillion: “Oh, I didn’t know you were an exchange student. I totally can’t hear an accent.”
So, now that in mind and the A from my oral test, I would say this trip was definitely a success.
Besides the oral test, I also wrote a paper for an education class. Still waiting on that grade, but at least I had some fun writing this thing. And it’s not like I had to work my ass off for that. *wink*
So after the shortest long semester ever, I am waiting to be done with school in about ……………………………………………………….. 2 years! Damn it 
So long…
