Mein Anmerkungen

hallo mein Gleiche (peers, hopefully),
what i want the subject to mean is "My Notes"
however, based on my previous experiences with the talents of altavista Babelfish, there is as much chance that i am referring to my notes as there is that I am unknowingly referring to my pet frog, so i only hope that when Dr. J comes on the reference is clear, and even better, grammatically correct.

anyway enough of this, i've got an early morning tomorrow and i'm just not up for making this a long post. the notes will be half-hearted at best, BUT if you want me to leave full-fledged heart-felt transcriptions of my notes, post YOUR OWN (even half-heartedly) and i'll be so excited by this development that i will post all of my completed homework in a fit of emphatic glee.

ENGLISH GRAMMAR
I gave the ball to the boy.

I = subject
gave = verb
the ball = direct object
the boy = indirect object.

DEUTSCHE GRAMMATIK
(dative)
Ich gab den Jungen den Ball.
I gave the boy the ball.

THE VERB ALWAYS COMES SECOND.

by the way in case y'all were wondering, ich bin zwei und zwanzig Jahre alt.

and i'm terribly sorry but i wasn't listening in class...
would you mind telling me again, wie alt bist du?

wie sagt man _____ auf deutsch?
haven't filled this in,
because although babelfish tells me this means:
"as one says ____ (in) german"
i just don't trust babelfish.

see! hier's your chance! fill in the ignorance in my notes with your much better ones! educate me on the meaning of the above! make one small canadian very happy!
the result will be:
heut geht es mir gut = today i am well!

i also wrote wie spät ist es, which seems to suggest "as late as it is" but i don't recall going over that in class which means once again my notes and babelfish are working in unison to be as retarded as possible.

UMLAUTS:
because i'm a G i've found symbols on the web, but if you don't have symbols or your computer does not view them properly please note:

ä - a with dots - ae
ü - u with dots - ue
ö - o with dots - oe
and just for fun: ß

Now - MATHEMATICS:

+ = und
x = mal
divide = geteilt durch
= = macht
- = minus
101 = ein hundert eins
30 = dreißig

all right, thats it for my organized notes.
what follows are random words that i scrawled every which way on the page:
Pause. not = emergency, notausgang = emergency exit
garnichts = nothing at all

mir geht's heute gut
gut geht es mir heute
"en" is an infinitive
geschnitten = to cut

all right you know what?
i'm sorry but i'm just SO not in the mood to do this.
my notes suck but not as bad as my transcribing them right now makes them.
i'm going to have to finish this later.
today i woke up on the wrong side of the bed,
and have been in a foul mood ever since.

peace out yo. yeah yeah, wiedersehen.
