today, 22/11

You've most likely already understood that today is Tuesday. Apart from the regular Tuesday stuff: arrive at school at 10h10 to have Maths, Social Economy (Samfunnsøkonomi) and P.E., having dinner and going to the handball practice(still to go), there was a small thing that meant a lot to me.
Last week, on the break before the Samfunnsøkonomi's test I decided to take it in Norwegian. I had gotten a 5+ on the first test, which I wrote in English and for 90 minutes I convinced myself that I would be able to do well in Norwegian and that I had that first good mark to "save" me.
After finishing the test I was quite disappointed and afraid that the teacher wasn't going to understand my attempted-Norwegian. Therefore, I was very happy today when I got my 5.
In my personal opinion, when learning Norwegian, it is not difficult to write or read or even speak. The hardest part is listening and understanding but I'm sure even that will become natural after a while.

This is what I’ve been doing in Norway:

School, handball trainings, football trainings, eating, redefining cold, waiting for snow, preparing for snow and learning Norwegian. Quite interesting.
