So today we got back the scores from our test yesterday. I am sad to say that I didn’t do so well. I got a 36 out of 50. It’s pretty bad, but when I asked other people what they got, I only found one person who got higher. The oral test was ok, I was paired with Stefano, who walked out 1/2 way of the interview because he got a phone call. So I had to scramble to make up stuff about him. I did pretty good on the oral test, which surprised me. So out of a total of 75 points, I got a 57. It is normally a “3″ grade, which is like a C I guess, but everyone else got lower. So, if we graded on a curve, I would definitely get an A, that’s for sure. I’m glad that it’s over and done with…On to my private lessons!!!

It still made me depressed all day thinking how awful I did on my grammar and hearing test. I complained that we didn’t really have any preperation for the test, but the teacher disagrees. I think she should look at all the scores and really think about if she prepared us adequately, because I think not.

Anyways, in the afternoon, Michael couldn’t meet me for lunch, so I went to the big Tengelmann’s to pick up some diapers and stuff for tonight’s dinner. I bought a berry cake that looked good.

Riki and Arne (our upstairs neighbors) invited us over for a nice dinner with German style empanadas (can’t get enough of that stuff), Gazpacho, a really good potato tortilla, and then of course we had the cake dessert. The cake turned out to be pretty good, actually. We were super stuffed when we left and they are always good company, never a dull moment!

When we got back, we almost immediately fell asleep, we were so tired!
