I started a norskkurs at Rosenhof on the 26th. That same day I found out we would have a test over chapters 6-10 on the 4th (today.)
Uh oh.
I had been going to a free course run by a local church but we didn't really go over any grammar, just reading out dialogues and occasionally translating a few words. It was a terrible class and we had only "studied" up to chapter 4.
So, I had to teach myself six chapters, two verb forms, adjective agreement (et pent skjerf), pronouns, and hundred of vocabulary words. I have spent the last two weeks drinking coffee (which I never drink) with my nose in a textbook. Dinners have been lackluster, knitting projects growing dusty, and a husband somewhat neglected.
But I can breathe now! It's done! I have to wait until Wednesday for my results but I'm pretty sure I did well enough to continue the course. As soon as I finished I know of two major errors I made (death to irregular verbs!) but I'm pretty sure I selected preteritum or perfektum appropriately in the essay.
Tonight I will curl up on the sofa with my wonderful husband and relax. I will not study at all until Wednesday night!
