Principles of Grammar for Students of Slavonic Languages: Progress Test

That is the most boring class in the entire universe. Usually, we compared grammatical constructions and peculiarities in Polish, Russian and Czech. This might have been fun with a more sound knowledge of either of the three, but was useless for us who only started studying Russian in September.
It is also taught by Dr. Dunn, who is an expert on Russian Media and... well, he just does not seem to be a language teacher. This class was interesting in parts for me, because I have taken Linguistics courses before, but for most of the people there, who wonder about what cases are, it was just useless.

Today was the final exam in that course. Seeing him walk in with those scary mauve answer booklets alone gave me the creeps. But we needn't really have worried:

"Explain, with examples chosen from the language you are studying, why Slavonic languages are particularly difficult to learn for speakers of English."

Mwehehehe. I really should not have despaired with the didactic means of the man, teacher of the most boring class in the entire Uni. This is a topic really every student can relate to easily, and it gives them room to vent about why Russian is so terribly hard. Well done, Dr Dunn! There were other questions, but we could choose between that one and two of the other four.

Strangely, even that seemed to be rather hard for one or two of the guys ("What on earth is an accusative?" - "Were we supposed to learn the names of all the cases? Oh no!!").

Apart from that, how about a few pictures? 

These are a bit random, like this one:

Since I am lazy and did not manage to prepare anything, I'll have to miss the final session of my creative writing group... or do I go anyway...? To be entirely honest, I'd much rather go home and cook something, but then, maybe I will regret it later, because it is the last session and everything, and I may regret it later on if I do not go, and and and... but I have nothing to contribute, and it is somehow not really fruitful to just sit there. I can always comment on the amazing poem and short story the other guys wrote by mail. Sigh. I will miss these meetings, though.

We need a Creative Writing Society in Hamburg. AND a Photography Society. 

Guys?
