took 2 years of japanese since thats how much you need to pass high school. yeah passed with a D. I couldn't stand the teacher. she did not know how to freaking TEACH. >:[ that's what else I think I'll do this break. practice my japanese some more. and some french too.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #202 on:** December 07, 2008, 09:53:12 pm »

The teachers I have had have done a great job. I have learned a lot but the issue I have is the orals. I wish there was a better way to do those because I haven't done great on those since the second term (I'm in my fourth now)

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #203 on:** December 07, 2008, 09:54:51 pm »

yea i took my german vocab list (that i had to type up myself) to work today to study on my breaks...didn't help much...im so scared! its verbal and written! imma suck!

my german professor made a CD-Rom which is our text book. im a visual learner but we get taught oraly in class...rawr...

tofutakeout · « **Reply #204 on:** December 07, 2008, 09:56:59 pm »

I always did really well on the orals I was just lazy and didn't want to memorize them because it was crap I knew I wasn't going to use in real life. the speech was so....blegh. who freaking talks like that? no one. :/

man I should also practice my german and chinese as well. this break is gonna be crazy.

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #205 on:** December 07, 2008, 09:58:03 pm »

how many languages do you know tofu?

tofutakeout · « **Reply #206 on:** December 07, 2008, 10:01:14 pm »

several and it's a different teacher for each. $:-\$ I have my friend ken=Chinese, my friend kaj=French, Japanese I'm learning by myself since I hated the teacher so much, and German is a bunch of my relatives since I am German, and my cousin wants to teach me Spanish. I want to be bilingual but JEEZ. sometimes I can't take it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #207 on:** December 07, 2008, 10:02:40 pm »

my tests for Japanese aren't that bad, just written and recognition mainly

makichan · « **Reply #208 on:** December 07, 2008, 11:18:30 pm »

I always did the best with the reading/writing portion.
I hate being put on the spot to speak >:[
With their little clipboards marking my every sentence. Ack!

Deviant Spider · « **Reply #209 on:** December 07, 2008, 11:59:16 pm »

I actually had a teacher in Highschool who gave me a B just cause she didnt give A's to anyone. She killed my overall GPA for all 4 years. I was a graduating 3.976 after 4 years and I still resent her. I tried contesting and she came up with lame excuses for why I recieved the grade I did.

Teasel · « **Reply #210 on:** December 08, 2008, 12:19:47 am »

I would call her something nasty, but you moderators have a tendency to overreact to my self-censoring.

yeah those are the worst. I do ok with small groups and talking so I think that orals need to be with those groups and she not tell us that it is happening

It be a surprise then the next day be like "Oh yesterday I graded your oral performance and here are your scores

"

That's actually brilliant.
I always crumble a little under pressure.
Not knowing that I'm being graded would have been better I think. Or worse.
Hhhmmm. I guess it depends.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #213 on:** December 08, 2008, 08:27:40 am »

Well I would study much harder for those classes just in case it was a day when she was grading us. I think most people would too. As of now we get a point for just knowing the conversation (we have to memories one or two conversations and then she makes us say is and asks us questions then does variations of it and what not)

superjaz · « **Reply #214 on:** December 08, 2008, 11:51:34 pm »

(i had a teacher who did somthing like that and how i hate him..)

but yeah I might even get a chance to see negima!

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #215 on:** December 09, 2008, 11:21:39 am »

Day one of finals completed! Now all I have left is art (today) and then German (which I thought was yesterday) tomorrow!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #216 on:** December 09, 2008, 11:52:23 am »

yup social psych is done, now all I have is cognitive psych and Japanese which are both tomorrow and I'm done

Teasel · « **Reply #217 on:** December 09, 2008, 01:40:41 pm »

It might snow this weekend!!!!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #218 on:** December 09, 2008, 02:14:49 pm »

.....I hope not x.x

Deviant Spider · « **Reply #219 on:** December 09, 2008, 06:40:18 pm »

It can snow sunday. I dont have to work/drive in it. Id love a day off to see snow!

tofutakeout · « **Reply #220 on:** December 09, 2008, 06:41:09 pm »

snow would be nice considering I'd be at a family Christmas party. ;3

nikkiolie · « **Reply #221 on:** December 09, 2008, 06:42:00 pm »

Snow on Sunday would be ok....I might not have to work if it does

tofutakeout · « **Reply #222 on:** December 09, 2008, 06:43:18 pm »

how about lots of snow during the week next week so then I get a 3 week break? that'd be extra nice. :3

Deviant Spider · « **Reply #223 on:** December 09, 2008, 06:47:10 pm »

I say snow is awesome if it gets you out of work or school. If you dont get out of it, than its kinda depressing. lol

tofutakeout · « **Reply #224 on:** December 09, 2008, 06:48:17 pm »

yeah and here in the Portland area snow doesn't happen to often. especially snow that gets you out of snow. besides snow is so beautiful and romantic. I love it lots. <3

Teasel · « **Reply #225 on:** December 09, 2008, 06:48:53 pm »

If it snows in Portland, and STICKS, then I'm happy.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #226 on:** December 09, 2008, 06:50:56 pm »

and forms at least a 1-2 inch layer I'll be even happier. oh yeah sam and I were planning on going up tp mt.hood during break and playing in the snow. :3

oslapedo · « **Reply #227 on:** December 09, 2008, 06:55:23 pm »

It might snow here in Roseburg either on Thursday or Saturday! WHEEE~

tofutakeout · « **Reply #228 on:** December 09, 2008, 07:03:10 pm »

no fair oslap. NO FAIR. I never get snow. :/ I should come randomly to your house.

oslapedo · « **Reply #229 on:** December 09, 2008, 07:04:01 pm »

Where do you live? :3

The great thing about Roseburg is that it barely ever rains too. Our weather is so nice <3

tofutakeout · « **Reply #230 on:** December 09, 2008, 07:09:37 pm »

I live in clackamas county 2 miles from clackamas town center. it rains here a lot. but I like rain...sometimes.

oslapedo · « **Reply #231 on:** December 09, 2008, 07:12:13 pm »

I like rain too, but I like snow even more >:3

Teasel · « **Reply #232 on:** December 09, 2008, 07:13:11 pm »

Same here

tofutakeout · « **Reply #233 on:** December 09, 2008, 07:18:02 pm »

yeah you get less wet. <3 and cold. it's easier to get warm.

Deviant Spider · « **Reply #234 on:** December 09, 2008, 07:29:32 pm »

Of course it seems like when you dont like the weather you just have to wait a half an hour and you get something new. Crazy West Coast.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #235 on:** December 09, 2008, 08:11:18 pm »

tell me about it. I remember one day it snowed, rain and then got sunny all within 12 hours x.x

tofutakeout · « **Reply #236 on:** December 09, 2008, 08:12:49 pm »

just last week it was cold and as windy as ever then like at 4 it was all sunny and warm. :/

nikkiolie · « **Reply #237 on:** December 09, 2008, 08:14:45 pm »

yeah. Tonight it has been very cold out. It was hard just getting to the car to go out to eat XD

tofutakeout · « **Reply #238 on:** December 09, 2008, 08:21:00 pm »

lol yeah thank god as soon as I get home I get to stay home. it sucks so much to have to walk for 2 miles every day in the winter. thank god for 2 weeks I won't have to do that. XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #239 on:** December 09, 2008, 08:21:52 pm »

yeah it will be nice to not have to leave the house....unless I have to work.

On a plus side, ONE MORE DAY TILL WINTER BREAK!

I know I can't wait. I really want to get these two tests over with. I need to do a little bit more studying but I am having a hard time getting to it x.x

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #243 on:** December 09, 2008, 08:28:26 pm »

i gave up on studying

nikkiolie · « **Reply #244 on:** December 09, 2008, 08:30:26 pm »

I'll look through my notes one maybe two more times and I'm good for the night.

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #245 on:** December 09, 2008, 08:31:25 pm »

good luck

nikkiolie · « **Reply #246 on:** December 09, 2008, 08:35:16 pm »

thank you. I would like to get an A in this class and I don't think it would be too hard >_>

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #247 on:** December 09, 2008, 08:39:57 pm »

Hopefully it wont be!

I had my art final today and it actually wasn't that bad...just a final sef portrait and then compairing it to our first one we did...3 hours of critiquing...longest 3 hours of meh life

makichan · « **Reply #248 on:** December 09, 2008, 10:05:22 pm »

I took my last two finals today. The Bio one went really well, I think (and that's saying a lot, because it was my hardest class). As for phonetics... I'm hoping I did as well as I think I did (which is better than I thought I'd do).
Now I'm going to watch movies and curl up under a pile of blankets. Mmmm'yes >:3

nikkiolie · « **Reply #249 on:** December 09, 2008, 10:08:06 pm »

congratulation on getting done with finals. I'll be there tomorrow
