Study Habits

Well it's December 3rd which means all you Leute at GVSU are probably studying for finals...hahahahaha.  I however, am only halfway through my semester in the land of Bier and Döner.  Unfortunately I do have to give a Referat über die Entwicklung der Autoindustrie in Deutschland next Thursday.  This means I will attempt to research the German auto industry and why it is just so fantastic...auf Deutsch.

Doing research for this Referat includes ten easy steps!

Step 1:  Attempt to read a page from one of the research books.  If I'm lucky I will understand three and a half works per sentence.

Step 2:  Pick out a few cool sounding words from the page and write those in a notebook

Step 3:  Cry for about 45 minutes

Step 4:  Get a beer

Step 5:  Stare angrily at the research book

Step 6:  Get another beer

Step 7:  Think about life

Step 8:  Get another beer

Step 9:  What was I doing?

Step 10:  Go to the bar in my basement

Now before you start criticizing my study habits you must understand I am simply exposing myself to the German culture.  If I was in the states I would never study in such a way but I am not.  Therefore I must learn how to do everything with a beer in hand.  It's just one of the things I'll have to get used to.  I know it won't be easy but I know I can do it!
