Studying, studying, aand... yup..you are right ;)

Believe it or not - being a student can actually be a whole lot of work.

Since there is this rumor going around in our society that all students are lazy and don't do anything else but go to parties and get drunk, I’ll to my best to smash these illusions by telling you about my life as a poor, poor student : P

I'm gonna tell you about my plan for the next couple of weeks to illustrate just how wrong this image of "a student" is.

Soo... it all starts next week with PC2 (Thursday). Of course I've already been studying for it, but I'll still have to prepare over the weekend. Then 4 days after PC 2 (on Monday) I'll take my final Russian exam. *yaaay* - that's gonna be fun...*sarcasm off*. On the same day and the day after that, we have the "Culture Days". This means we have to give a presentation about a culture topic. I decided to make my presentation about war crimes in Vietnam. This already required a looooot of work- watching interviews, gathering information, making a handout, making a powerpoint presentation, thinking of what I'm going to say etc. etc.

---Ok, at this point I have to admit that even if the culture project is so much work, it's also pretty damn awesome. Doing so much research that you can actually say you "know something about that" is very interesting, especially since I am totally fascinated by my topic.---

Three days after the culture project, I'll take my final German exam. I haven't had the time to prepare for that yet, so that's gonna be a lot of work too.
One week ofter that comes the moment we all fear most - the "Kommissionelle Gesamtprüfung".
That's an oral exam that lasts 45 minutes, in which you have to prove that you can actually handle grammar, vocab, and culture of all of your three languages (Russian, English, German). Most teachears claim it's not so difficult...but well.. we'll see. Maybe after the KGP I'll read this post and be like: "haha...that was really easy...why all the worrying"


And then, when most students are already on vaccation, I'll take another exam about US culture.

So yes...being a student can actually mean studying a lot. 
The only good thing about this is that I love my field of studies so much that I sometimes get pretty excited while studying with friends, especially when the light bulb goes on and we're like: "uuuh...nooow I get that"
