German Frustrations

My teacher is pretty sure that there won't be any chance of a German II course next semester: There aren’t enough enrollments to warrant the school paying for the class. Having looked into the cost of taking the next courses at CSU, Fresno (*YIPES*), it looks like I am going to have to do this on my own – which has it’s upside and its downside.

 

Upside, I can study at home, at my own pace (generally fast) and not have to worry about my classmates slowing me down – bless them, but I swear they are more of a distraction than assistance.

 

Downside, I tend to be easily distractible and really work best in an environment where there are clear-cut timetables where things need to get done. I can certainly establish these for myself, but I know that I tend to slack on deadlines that are of my own making. *le sigh*

 

My professor has let me know that he thinks I am more-than-capable of furthering my language skills with one of the ‘CD programs’ available out there. I have read a lot of positive reviews of this one and it seems that it is also on sale (hopefully it will still be on sale in January, when I may have the money to buy it).

 

*crossing fingers and working out how to continue my studies with my text in the meantime*
