1. Took my placement test for German classes*.
2. Bought some school supplies (book, notebook, stabilos, public transport pass).
3. Measured and estimated how much material I would need to make custom curtains for the living room**.
4. Moved all the furniture in the living room so that painters could come and fix the cracks in the wall.
*So I was sooo excited that after the test I qualified for the A2.1 level! I was really hoping that I wouldn't be put in the very first course. After talking with the teacher about my language experience (which is one community college course and a lot of listening) we decided that I should go into A1.2 to solidify my writing and grammar knowledge. Professionally, I feel I must add that I was surprised that the language placement test didn't probe all language dimensions (speaking, listening, reading, and writing- I only had to read German). On the upswing, I will be in an intensive course which is 4 days a week from 9am till 1:00pm. I'm so ready!!! Class starts after Easter, which gives me a good two weeks to sew some curtains :-)
