Wild Mood Swings

I seemed unable to establish any sort of equilibrium today.  I woke up around 5am with a serious case of the angst and was unable to fall back asleep, until around 7am when Carsten got up.  Then when I did get out of bed and check my email I had an unpleasant email regarding a job I had applied for.  It was at the point that my mood really went down the toilet.  However, once in my class I was distracted and completely forgot all about my angst and the email.  At the end of my class I was talking to my teacher and she questioned me on my study habits and homework assignments.  I explained the I complete the entire chapter by Tuesday night so I can review on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for our test at the end of the week.  She then asked how many hours I study per day.  I gave her my studying schedule and she laughed and stated I am spending too much time on studying and should only do 2 hours per day otherwise it can be too much.  She also said I am doing rather well for only having three months of German language school and compared what I know to other students she has who have been learning for a year.  That made me feel much better.  However, in the evening my mood again began to slip, though for no apparent reason.  So I decided to phone my grandma in Baraboo, WI as she always cheers me up.  We talked for about half and hour laughing over everything.  A perfect way to end the day!
