Physics Excursion

My physics teacher took us to the "higher school" today to check out a lab and work with circuits some more. It was the same building as the one we visited with Herr Luger a couple weeks ago, the one with the best posters of last year. Up stairs, we found a full lab with stations set out for us and directions to match. I paired up with Pascal, and we began working. Physics is difficult to begin with, but when you try to learn it in a foreign language, it just multiplies. I was really confused, but I picked up a few things here and there that helped me understand what was going on. Physics is a on-time-per-week class, but lasts three hours. Factor in that I remain to be tired from last weekend of travelling, and not understanding most of the concepts and you have a long class period. Even when I was being directly spoken to, I found it hard to focus. That is one thing that I have noticed for sure, when I am being directly engaged, it is a lot easier to understand and think of a reply in German. But when someone tells a general statement, like teachers, I can't focus very well after just a few minutes. It is a constant struggle to snap to and listen to the teachers.
