i have been so bad at writing in here lately, that i had to go and check my info page to see if anyone had defriended me in my failure to appear. i am sorry, but it was pleasantly surprising to see you are all still hanging in there. i suck, i know it. and well, i will probably never change, so bear with me. (i won't be offended if you dump me, but know that i am prone to stalking! ha ha ha).
anyway, today we had the first half of our midterm exam in sfi. we had SO fragor (questions about living in sweden, most of which are really silly), listening comprehension, and essay writing. next week we have the rest. what the rest entails, i honestly cannot say, maybe i should listen more in class. lucky for me, the tests were a piece of cake. on the other hand, when i do not find things challenging i do not apply myself, so i can imagine i made lots of tiny and ridiculous errors. oh well. i am getting a bit nervous as i am going to try and take the national provar next month (they are not scheduled until the middle of december) to try and get out of the class early. i have no idea if i understand enough swedish to pull it off. well, i do suppose if i fail, i can just take them again. eller hur?
happy news! our kamin (wood burning stove?) is now installed! yipee! we are supposed to get it besikt (translation? approved? checked out?) before we can use it, but the lady said we can use it at our own risk in the meantime (the besikning isn't till wed). so looks like we can finally get start burning up our old kitchen! yipee! it is going to be so warm and cozy! i cannot wait till thomas comes home and we start that baby up!
other happy news! i still cannot believe that he1ena will be here in a week! i cannot wait! i cannot wait! i do believe we will have an absolute blast. (i hope she will think the same, otherwise you can all read in her journal in two weeks time what a dullard i am!)
