Well what happens is you get here, and you are all like gung ho must learn german for the first 2 months. Then once you start feeling confident enough to speak german all the time, it actually becomes much more difficult because what happens is the germans hear your accent is from an english speaking country and just have to show off their english to you. So it becomes frustrating to try and speak german and learn german because everyone is liek "oh youre an american, look at how good my english is!" (or in your case they would be like "Oh youre from the UK, look at how good my english is!")

Fun language when you can actually speak it and get your point across though

12ounces, could you do me favour? I've got this passage in German and I have no idea what it means

[QUOTE=GurS]So, I have to make a decision:

I currently do Politics, Music, Drama and English Literature. I have three choices:

A) Drop one (which is what most people do, as the subjects get harder from here on in)
B) Drop one and do Economics for a year (which will help me get a deeper understanding of Politics, which is what I hope to do at university. However, it's meant to be very hard, and I don't know who much I'm gonna like the course)
C) Keep doing all four (which will be good for my university applications, as the unis I have my eye one are all pretty much top unis).

help? :confused:
[/QUOTE]

Do you thoroughly enjoy all the classes you named above? If not, I would drop the one and do economics so that you have a head start when you get into a university. If you do enjoy all of your classes - and you think you could handle it - do all four! It can always help NOT to drop a class and pick up another one, but the question really is, do you think you'd be ok doing that? Economics is no easy bit, from what I've heard.

sure ill give it a go, i need to run to the supermarket real quick or else im not eating for the rest of the weekend hahaha (they are closed here on sundays), but you can post it here, or just IM it to me over MSN or AIM, either or is fine with me, ill be back half hour tops

I love all of them except English Lit.... but that's the one I can't drop :( If I drop one, it'll be music

[QUOTE=GurS]I love all of them except English Lit.... but that's the one I can't drop :( If I drop one, it'll be music[/QUOTE]

My advice then, don't drop. :D I don't know about you, but if I were in your shoes, I would definately try to balance one more class than to drop music class. But thats just me.

Do all four. I have the choice of doing three or four subjects a semester. I do four science/engineering/maths subjects a semester, and suck it up when the going gets tough. Basically, your boss once you leave school won't say:
"Look Sam, I'm going to give you three tasks to do, but if you don't want to do the second one, just leave it be; it's okay. Can I get you more milk for your tea?"

NP: The Snakefish - The Groove Machine[/QUOTE]

Well I dropped one when I went from lower to upper sixth; I think pretty much everyone except the guys who were taking Further Maths just carried on with three instead of four, in my school. I don't know how tactical that was though; it was just the normal way.

HOHE LIEBE

(Ludwig Uhland)

In Liebesarmen ruht ihr trunken,
Des Lebens Frücte winken euch;
Ein Blick nur ist auf mich gesunken,
Doch bin ich vor euch allen reich

Das Glück der Erde miß ich gerne
Und blick, ein Märtyrer, hinan,
Denn uber mir, in goldner Ferne,
Hat sich der Himmel aufgetan

If you don't mind, could you also do these two?

SELIGER TOD

(Ludwig Uhland)

Gerstorben war ich
Vor Liebeswonne;
Begraben lag ich
In ihren Armen;
Erwecket ward ich
Von ihren Küssen;
Den Himmel sah ich
In ihren Augen

O LIEB, SO LANG DU LIEBEN KANNST

(Ferdinand Freiligrath)

O lieb, so lang du lieben kannst,
O lieb, so lang du lieben magst,
Die stunde kommt, die Stunde kommt,
Wo du an Gräben stehst und klagst.

Und sorge, daß dein Herze glüht
Und Liebe hegt und Liebe trägt,
So lang ihm noch ein andres Herz
In Liebe warm entgegenschlägt

Und wer dir seine Brust erschließt,
O tu ihm, was du kannst, zulieb
Und mach ihm jede Stunde froh
Und mach ihm keine Stunde trub!

Und hüte deine Zunge wohl:
Bald ist ein hartes Worst entflohn,
O Gott, es war nicht bös gemeint,
Der andre aber geht und weint.

O lieb, so lang du lieben kannst,
O lieb, so lang du lieben magst,
Die stunde kommt, die Stunde kommt,
Wo du an Gräben stehst und klagst.

There is no shame in obsessing over Doom II. Just think, if hell corrupted the Earth and monsters were attacking everything, you'd know how to defend yourself because you know how to use Berserk orbs and kill giant hellions with your BARE HANDS. :eek:

Meh, ebaums doesn't have all of them, though. Just go to the main site to watch them.

Scroll down until you see the PSAs. There are twenty-five, I believe.

Some of my favorites are the "Hey, kid! I'm a computer! Stop all the downloadin'!" and the "Barbecue sauce!" ones... oh, and "I just want to ride my moooooooooooooootorcycle."

But by far, my favorite is the housefire one:

"Oh shi[font=]t! What the fuc[/font]k? Get the fuc[font=]k out of here! Go on, you stupid idiot! Go on, get the fuc[/font]k out!

Man, that smelled delicious."

Heh heh heh. Funny stuff. So random, though.

Alright GurS, here you go, i did th ebest i could. Some of the lines were very very idiomatic and i was unable to come up with an english equivalent, and some i jsut didnt understand. A couple words may have been misspelled a well because i did not know them, and could not find them. anyway, you can easily get the jist of it, so here you go:

HIGH LOVE/MY DEAR (yes that is high not hi)

In loving arms rests your (trunken = used for drunk but that makes no sense here)
The fruits of life wave at you
A glance only made me sink,
But I am rich with you (very idiomatic, doesn’t translate right)

The luck of the world I gladly measure,
And look, a martyr, hinan?
Then over me, in the golden distance
The sky opened wide


BLESSED DEAD


I was dead
Before (lovely delight?)
I lay buried
In your arms
I will be awoken
By your kisses
I saw the sky
In your eyes



OH LOVE, LOVE AS LONG AS YOU CAN


Oh love, love as long as you can
Oh love, love as long as you like
The hours come, the hours come
Where you stand and lament on graves

And sorrows, that your heart emits
And love nourishes, and love carries
So (long) another heart in love
strikes warmly against it



and who opens up your breast
Oh do it, what you can, to live
And do it each hour happily
And do it no hours with sorrow

And tend your tongue (must be an idiom)
Soon a hard (Worst?) flees
Oh god, it was not meant to be evil
The other goes and cries

Oh love, love as long as you can
Oh love, love as long as you like
The hours come, the hours come
Where you stand and lament on graves

I know..... the thing that makes it funniest is the theme at the end.

Not really anything. I just woke up at the lovely time of noon, and will be going to my high school's graduation to see my younger friends graduate. That's about it, really. :)

It's just his way with CDs. He has plenty of his own (mostly CD-Rs and compilations), but he never looks after them. Every CD he owns, more or less, has a broken case (if any case at all) and is scratched to all hell, or else dirty or otherwise rendered eventually unplayable.

So I know I shouldn't have lent him it, but I did.

Ah. I guess I'm lucky that my parents hate my taste in music. Except for Nightwish and the occasional Joe Satriani song in my mom's case.
