8th February 2006 - Day 114

It rained today. I didn't bring my umbrella out with me even though I read the weather forecast in the morning.

I attended the lecture where the professor does not write legibly. It wasn't easy making the words out. Sometimes he speaks too fast, but I'm not writing fast enough.

I'm wondering why he repeated the same stuffs. I vaguely remembered the things on the board today were taught in the second lecture. I checked when I got home. That part was exactly the same.

Maybe that means I should read up more on that section.

Felix told me that doing half of each of the four question during the exams will not get the person a 1,0. The points for each question are not cummulative in that sense.

I realised today during the Phonetik lesson, that the last session will be next week. I'm having less problems with "zu-" now. The course did help me take more notice about the proper pronunciation of words, but my reading remains flat with no signs of commas, full stops, exclaimation marks and etc.

There's an interesting article on the Zoo in Karlsruhe. One of the zoo-keepers observed that some chimpanzees are found holding snow in their hands(?) and watching them melt away with apparent amazement.

Hah. The things I learn during Phonetik lesson.

It seems that the people on the floor are spending less time in the kitchen. Those who are still cooking, are often caught reading notes while they are stirring their broth.

So, I shall be looking forward to this time next week.
