Morning Andy,
An attitude can be a really positive thing, It’s just difficult when you’re right and everyone else is wrong and they don’t know it 🙂
As for my exams, passed the first two and presently doing a practical in an old people’s home. I’m supposed to be doing care work but helping more with activities such as gentle exercise, crafts and of course searching for the odd one with Dementia that has gone on a wonder somewhere. I may as well experience an old people’s home now so I know what to expect if I last that long. The residents are really helping with the German as well but like children, when they don’t like what they hear then they become a bit petulant. A couple of times I’ve had “Ich nicht verstehen!” (I don’t understand!). You have to be a bit detached when you see photos of some of the residents from just a few years ago, full of life with friends and family and then see them now, confused or bed bound.
As for the German exam, I’m not too hopeful, everyone struggled with one section and my written grammer is poor at the best of times. I’ll find out how poor in September I expect. Anyway, as you say Andy everyday is a gift and I’m just not going to sit around doing nothing.
