I meant: De este fin de semana que viene, al que sigue voy a tener mi examen - _kib, Feb 1, 2013
To _kib: You are correct mostly, but I would put it like this (En este fin de semana voy a tener mi examen) and (Anoche me dormi pensando en ti) De este means from, En este means On or In. Hope I explained myself correctly, have a good day. - Spanish_Parrot, Feb 1, 2013
Or you can just say Este fin de semana which translates This weekend. - Spanish_Parrot, Feb 1, 2013
thanks for the message, I've amended my post now so hopefully now it actually fits with what you were asking, which is always good lol :) - Kiwi-Girl, Feb 1, 2013

Great try Kib

From this weekend through to the next,

or

Right through from this weekend to the next one ....

then for the next bit do you actually mean sitting your exam?

... I'll be / I'm going to be doing/taking my exam(s)/quiz

or do you mean that you'll be studying for the exam?

... I'll be / I'm going to be preparing/studying for my exam.

The second one is perfect apart from 'sleep' that should be 'asleep'.

Well done smile

Last night, I fell asleep thinking of you.

I assume you're translating from Spanish to English?

I don't totally understand the first sentence in Spanish, but I believe the correct English translation would be Next weekend I'm going to have my exam.

The second sentence is correctly translated.
