And I've worked so hard to acheive this moment.

I just got back from Drama. We had a rehersal from 6 to 10 pm. It was our last rehersal and our first performance is on Friday. I think we have a play. BUT what's even more wonderful is that after we were finished I asked how well Herr Meyer could understand me. I was a bit unsure. He is always telling us to speak clearer and I'm always nervous with my accent in German that the audience might have a hard time understanding me. He told me that he was able to understand every word and I only made two small errors. Both of which were the wrong endings on a few words. It has to do with the German cases. German grammar is complicated and I'm too tired to try to explain it so you'll just have to trust me. Anyways other than that it was perfect. No harm done I'll fix that for Friday.

Two people watched us peform the play today and one of them told me that she understood me quite well. I was thrilled, because she hadn't read the book or heard me speak in German. So that was great news. I've worked so hard all year, and for what you might ask. For moments like these. I'm in a theatre piece in another language and I can be understood. I can participate in a group and I can now understand everything that is going on when we rehearse. I am no longer the girl who walked into the first rehersal who had no clue what was going on and was stumbling over the few senences I knew in German. I have come such a long way and tonight I'm damn proud of myself.
