Breakwhile having a break from my report let me tell you about my week!
This week was a beginning of new semester, it meant 3 new subjects and new teachers!
The new subjects where: German, Business economics and Market communication.
German was boring as usual, but our teacher(which is my mentor on my report by the way) is fine, she is nice. The first thing she told us was that it is allowed to make mistakes in the class, that we should make all the mistakes that we can so in the exam we wont be doing any mistakes. "You learn from your mistakes" that was what she said, but of course in german.. Well I was scared in the beginning cause when we were about to present ourselves I realized that I forgot how to speak german(but I could understand what she said) but as she said make all the mistakes you can!! hehe!
We also got our very first homework that week which was reading 2 page of an article, and MAN oh my it was annoying cause I needed to use the dictionary the whole time!! Some of the words sounded familiar but I just couldnt remember what they ment.
Next week we will be doing some grammar, and believe me german grammar can kill you!! I would rather have 10 hours of math a day than having 1 hour of german!!
Business economics was.. well... weird. The teacher was supposed to teach us accounting but instead he taught us about the SWOT-analysis and strategies which we have learned before with our marketing teacher! He wasnt even good in english and the fact that he was saying "uhmm" and "Errrh" in each sentence gave me head ache. I am not being mean but I am just saying the truth! I am better than the teacher in english!! haha! but its true! Imagine its IBB and the teacher is lousy in english? Sorry Mr.! But despite that he is really nice, but I cant use nice to something if I dont learn anything ayt?
Marketing Communication. I think this subject will be one of my favorites! The teacher is great! he speaks fluent english(he lived in canada for 10 years he said) and he is so much fun and really good in teaching! I have had him before for two weeks, but when I moved class I thought I wouldnt have him again, but now that I have him as one of my teacher I am happy! hehe!
Our first two lessons with him was so much fun!! Guess what we did? first he introduced us what the subject was about and then we were divided into groups he gave us tasks. To make an advertisement in a magazine, well we just have to do the sketch. My group is going to do a seatbelt campaign we already have a great idea on what to draw and how it should look. The other groups got the task to make ads of: push up bra, new mercedes benz car, huge car, strong condom hehe and tuna in can. It really is fun! I'm looking forward to our Market communication class next week! =)
Oh we also got new teacher in Danish and Math, our danish teacher gave birth so she wouldnt be back until next year and our math teacher before had too many classes at school so she needed to drop our class, it was sad cause she was so good but hey our new math teacher he is like a math whiz!
I kinda feel that with him math gets even more complicated, because he always wants us to explaine not only how but why! Explaining how is easy but why? that is difficult! And last week we used like 2 hours to discuss what function is. Before I only know what a formula of a linear function was but now I also know why y=ax+b is a linear function and when I look at coordinate systems I can see which one is a linear function and which one is not, hehe! I sound like a little child whom discovered something really big eh? hehe! But one thing I have discovered, I have to put more energy on studying math than I used to, with this new teacher? I think I have to fight so much to get just a middle grade.. oh.. another challenge!! I can do it!! :p
But well I need to go back to my work before it gets too late! I need to finish this report today!
