NOTHING IN GERMAN

++ I HAVE LIVED with two german girls for 5 months now and i have learned absolutely nothing in german. kathleen had her boyfriend over for 10 days, so we lived with three germans for a while and i didn't learn any german. now kathleen has 5 of her friends over so we are living with 7 germans and oddly enough i still have learned absolutely nothing in german. its all become white noise now. background. whenever any of our friends come over and here them speaking german, they always stop and try to figure out what they are saying. always. never fails. me? nothing. half of the time i don't even hear them. however, that may because i don't hear well.

hypothetical question:
you are designing an architectural project. ok, thats not the question, that was actually a statement. the question comes at the end of the statement. so you are designing an architectural project. you have a faculty mentor who is directing your studies and design. you go to him every other day to have a dialogue on the progress of the design. they supply you with ideas and ask questions significant in the directino of yoru design. the question is; is this really your design, assuming that the faculty mentor is more or less 'telling' you how to do it? ++
