So many plans, ideas and opportunities, but at the end of the day it's a few episodes of House of Cards with German subs, a paragraph of a blog post in German, a Formula One race with English comments and this example of me writing down lyrics and
working with them: 
That only sounds like a lot. But basically it's super-laziness, which is usual for me. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I guess my condition is called a lazy-ass syndrome. I would really like to do something about it, but even my lazy methods of studying seem to be working.
Well, I find that I don't have the guts even to open Er ist wieder da, because it is really too hard for me now, I also still have no idea how to write that blog post I started on Sunday. So all I do it watch House of Cards, in which some moments I can't get in both English and German, which speaks for the usefulness of such a task, listen to the music and practice my handwriting like this: 
I actually like my handwriting (or I guess any other written with a black pen on a white paper) in a big scope, I already made three wallpapers in the last three days and I guess you already realised that while I am obsessed over something I can be really productive in this something. This doesn't really have to do much with languages, right?.. Edited by Via Diva on 23 June 2015 at 4:09am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

On a crazy whim I realised I need to install German on my poor Chinese phone. Today, nevermind the exam on Friday. Here's how it went - auf Deutsch!
Please give me some feedback here. It's 2:11 here after all, and I started thinking about what to write around 23:25. Does the time affect my writing abilities much? :) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The only thing I can say with certainty is that you
should have used "bestehen" instead of its perfect form. Better wait for a native speaker's feedback though. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Maybe she wanted to write something like "ich werde bestanden haben", but in a
conditional or temporal subordinate clause. Falls/sobald/wenn ich meine Prüfung (werde bestanden haben)/(bestanden haben werde), ... One of these two constructions at the end might be an Austrianism, don't ask me which ;)
Dozent: jemand, der an der Uni lehrt, aber nicht die Stelle eines Professors innehat (werden beide im Englischen als "professor" bezeichnet soweit mir bekannt, im Deutschen aber nicht). Lehrer unterrichtet an der Schule. Es gibt aber auch den "Hochschullehrer" als Synonym zum Dozenten, aber wird denk ich kaum verwendet.

I am just bad at Konjunktiv and all that jazz. But this construction does look like something I could've used there. Maybe.
I just mixed up infinitive and past participle. I do have a history with this kind of abusive behaviour towards German verbs (e.g. Kannst du das verstanden?). We have "преподаватель" which applies to everyone who teaches at universities. The reason why I avoid using words like Professor or Dozent is because these are positions on a career ladder in Russia. Well, it's not Professor in RUssia, it's доктор *insert a branch of science* наук. Some of our lecturers are docents all right, some are candidates of science (a step before getting a doctorate here), and some are indeed what you'd call professors. I guess I can always get away with Lektor/ Lektorin... 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Do not despair, I find that statement to be deliberately provocative (and many other native English speakers would agree). Your English is fine. Take your previous post for example:
The lack of the definite article here does not make you appear uneducated, in fact it wasn't until you pointed out a potential issue with usage in your post above that I even realised they were missing. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
