I am the Sasquatch Burger

This week is taking me down like it's Adam Richman and I'm a ten pound pizza.

I have Deutschkurs in the morning all week then I get to work at 2PM and try to pretend that I have been there all day. I love German class and it is really helping a lot. I stayed in all last weekend to study so that I could do well on the placement test and skip beginner. It paid off and I am very glad that I took that time. Also, I am sooo glad that I started Monday with a sleep surplus because I think I hit the red on Tuesday.


The only problem with school is that I'm going directly to work and then doing that until I go bananas. With this schedule there isn't much time to practice and study. I'm taking the classes for myself and I don't think it's ok to let down any of my other obligations due to my personal activities. Ideally I would study my face off every night and get bumped up a level every day until Friday when they asked me to teach at the school.  I am really interested in making this language MY five pound cheesesteak


I'm planning a different strategy for Deutschkurs round two so I can get ever more out of it. Deutsche will be my Sasquatch Hamburger!

Note: The red skittles here are not what I've grown up with. First of all, the skittles flavor seems to be sourced from fruit?! This is a good thing. Melissa pointed out that the red tasted quite different and on the box I saw it was made from johannisbeere. How exotic. It's also known as cassis which is the flavor of the really gross gum I bought because it was pink and I thought it was for bubbles. Cassis is still exotic! But then I googled it and found out that it's just currents. Which are nice but not as exciting as the mystery johannisbeere.


Speaking of gum, I keep it at work because even though it tastes bad it gets rid of goat cheese breath. Whenever I share it with others I warn them that it's gross and tastes like medicine. Today I realized that people think I'm just saying it's big... groß means large in German and I don't think the slang term for yucky is that common here.
