I made it through the first week of classes today, but I'll have to catch up on sleep tomorrow!
It was a good round of classes too, kicking it off with the grand old political debate. The next day I was given a compressed history lesson ranging from the Vikings to today in about two hours. After that it was the standard how the library works speech followed up by the first day of Norsk 101.
The Norsk 101 class is quite fun and entertaining and just how much I have learned (or remembered) in three days is kind of crazy. The teacher is hilarious and is able to keep the 2 or 3 hour long lectures somewhat alive. As an added bonus my horrible job of pronouncing words may just improve a little bit now. As well as a somewhat expanded vocab.
Waking up for an 8 am class and having class til 17:00 (with a long break in between of course) drains me like no other. It'll be fun trying to adjust to this way of schooling, because I can't keep dozing off in classes. All the stuff we have talked about is quite interesting so my brain will be over thinking by the end. You better watch out for when I come back or your going to get thought vomited on.

Hey Eric, Håvard here! I have to ask, how is your way of schooling? 8am - 16pm is pretty normal in norway ;p
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to hear your norwegian after about a month from now xD
In the US, if you work it right, you will have about 2, 2 hr classes each day. Last semster I had one from around 9:55-11:30 and then one from 14:40-15:30. Most classes don't go later than 3:30 and everybody avoids the 8 AM classes.
ReplyDeleteAfter the Norsk class is done though, I should only have really one class a day done by noon or so.
~2,2h of class each day.. damn, that's not much. Alot of self study then, or...? ;p
ReplyDeleteSelf Study depends on how personally motivated someone is. haha
ReplyDeletelol, I see xD
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it thru the first week. It is interesting to hear you take on everything so keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI like it you are getting a lot of education packed in. Never heard of having college classes so easy in US...things have changed. Norway is more like it!
