Good news: I didn't die. After the people who were supposed to go on Tuesday had finished, the teacher made comments about each person's speech... in front of the class (which is kind of weird because I don't think you ever see anything like that back home). She basically said the same thing for each person (basically, we suck a pronouncing things) but when she got to me, she was like, "Yeah, so basically you guys all have accents but Jeanette's accent was different as you probably noticed. This is because she's not from... here... and she speaks... a different language." (Something like that; obviously this was in German so I'll just translate it to get the meaning across). She wasn't mean or anything like that so I'm not complaining, but it was funny/awkward because after she said that, everyone just turned and stared at me... Yeah.

So anyway, I have a Swedish "midterm" tonight and I don't think I know anything, but we'll see how it goes. The only upside to this is that you can leave right after you finish so hopefully I'll have more time to do all the stuff I have to do. THERE IS SO MUCH STUFF TO DO. Ugh. I wish I hadn't procrastinated.

I'm leaving tomorrow night to begin my epic Easter holiday adventure and I haven't planned out anything. I mean, I've obviously booked all my stuff (for the most part) but I haven't actually figured out what I'm going to do... which is probably bad. Gyah. However, I can't even work on all of this tomorrow during the day because I have to go die and speak tons of German to people who may or may not be speaking in dialect. Awesome. Then again, I could just pretend to be mute... haha.

Here are random pictures that are unrelated to anything (a.k.a really delayed pictures from Budapest):
