Work and the English language

Only three weeks left! Then I say goodbye, because then I'm going to France for 9 days. After that, there's only one week left at school! And then...Summer holiday!
But there's enough work left.
At the moment I'm working on things I need, because I'll finish school in June 2010. It's strange to work on things you need 12 month later.
I have to translate some things from English to German, because my teacher at school can't speak English very well. ^^
This is my working place at the moment:

Two computers. Non of them is mine ;) I don't have my own computer. The right one is a 13 (or something like that) years old laptop. I'm glad, that it still works.

Beside this work, school gets easier and at the same time more stressful.
Yesterday Ines, one of my friends, and I started to write a story together. Ines wrote down three lines on a sheet of paper and I continued to write the next three lines and so on... We do that sometimes, if we are bored at school and we both love to write stories.
The stories we write together are always without any sense.
Yesterday we wrote a story about an elephant, called Josef, a human, called Franz or Fritz...can't remember, and a hamster, called Hans.
The plot isn't important to talk about, but we wrote the story bilingual, because I insisted to write my parts in English, but Ines don't want to do that and wrote her parts in German.
Sometimes we had to finished the sentences, the other one started before and I found out, that Englisch and German sometimes doesn't fit together.
For example: You can't translate words with -ing. doing, writing, working...all these words doesn't exist in the German language!
So the sentences sometimes sounds really strange, if we switched between the languages during a sentence.
But it was great fun!

Wow, this was the first long post, I did! (and not only with pictures...)
But totally rubbish ;)
