Oh

I only alluded to the completion of my second of three finals. Not everybody got it, though.

So yeah, German final was easy. I definitely did better than either of the previous big tests, probably because it was so comprehensive. But learning language is naturally comprehensive, so it's not as hard as a final in a class where you switch between disparate topics weekly.

For our essay we had to talk about what some hypothetical guy did while he was in Vienna. My essay, translated into English was approximately as follows:
I woke up at 6am because my friend called me, he wanted to go to church. But I was too tired to go, so I said no. I tried to sleep but I had to do my homework. Then I called him and we went and ate Weinerschnitzel. It tasted to us good! Then we went to the city center and met with two female friends. Then we all undressed and danced naked in the street. "Why?", you ask. Because Beer helped us! We drank a lot. It made to us fun!
So yeah, with an essay like that, how could I fail?
