Managed to get some significant work done on a scene that was giving me trouble, so I'm really pleased about that. I feel like this thing has been going so slowly; it's partly because I haven't had a lot of time for working on it, though. But I really should put more effort into that. I think I could find more time for it if I tried.

I've started a daily diary for working on Norwegian... well, I probably won't get to it every day in practice, but I'm going to try for that, anyway. The goal is just to push myself to write one or two sentences in Norwegian every day. (Or every second day. Or...) Because honestly, I won't learn more vocabulary if I don't use it, and I won't properly learn things like tenses if I don't make myself do it. And then I can put the new words into the Anki deck that I've started.

It's just, a few days ago, I managed to have an entire conversation in Norwegian. And while my Norsk is pretty bad (that Norwayanon must have had so much patience) it was really fun and... I found myself frustrated by my frustration, because there were so many things that I wanted to say, but I wasn't able to do it, and the things that I did say weren't said properly. So I need to work on this.

Ugh, I have so many tiny little things that I need to take care of for my trip. Need to clean my room. Need to pack. Need to find that thing, y'know, that thing I need... bluh. In some ways, I'm very ready to go, but there's all this STUFF I need to take care of and I just don't want to deal with it.
