I got the results of my second practice test. This one was level 3, High School Level. There were two parts. I got 50% on part 1, 65% on part 2. I needed 70% to pass. So close!
The good news is my Norwegian has improved. The bad news is it’s not yet at a [...]

I feel a mojo thing happening. Last I remember I lost my mojo back in the summer of ‘05. But I think the shit is changing.
I took two practice tests this week. Level 2 and level 3 Norwegian. They’re standard tests to show your ability in the Norwegian Language. Level two, I believe, is up [...]

I’m sitting here in the library at the High School. The class I was going to observe in has a test and I really have nothing to do in there. I came to the library with the hope of having something else to help out with. No go either. I guess it is one of [...]

Natalie, although only 2 years 8 months, has always seemed a little ahead of the pack.. I could be wrong. I could just be high on whole wheat rolls. But there is a slim chance that I am right. She knows colors, numbers and some letters (in two languages). She holds a pen the right [...]

I’m sitting here in the library at the High School I am, kind of, working at. It’s lunch time. My head is spinning from all the Norwegian I have been speaking and hearing. If I had an office of my own I would be in it, right now, with the lights off and the door [...]
