The filthy swines have come down with a bad case of swine flu perhaps?

[Molotovcocktail]

*cough* *cough* No I haven't seen any swines, but I sure caught the flu from me dad.

[Fløyelsbøtte]

Hmm, my throat hurts like hell. But nothing else. Wohoo! No flu for me!

[Lidskjalv]

The filthy swines have of course finished exams and are now actively draining the the brain for unnecessary knowledge. Girls, beer and summer is here - so it is really a sign of mental healthiness

[WheelMan]

I have the swineflu, and a sunburn i like to call bad/nasty - hug, anyone?

Some of us still got exams, you know. I'm deep into the studying of development countries as we speak.

[Slimda]

And I'm busy being at work. At least I get pair for every hour I'm at work.

[Bear^]

I'm busy relaxing, I have 2 days off from work every week, better make the best of them when I have them. Though, it's well worth it in the end of the month when the money dumps down into the account

Only two years are mandatory, you can continue with a third year, but that's optional. However, if you chose to have extra lessons in either Norwegian or English from eight trough tenth grade, you will have to have three years in high scjool. There are also two levels of each language course, I and II. You can continue with the language you had in Ungdomsskolen (what would that translate to?), then you would have to have II, which is the more difficult one. If you choose to have a different language, you would have I, the easier one. There is also a III, I think that's for those who want to enter even more deeply into the language in the third year.

 

(Disclaimer: This post may contain errors. I've gotten this information piece by piece, searching Norwegian school-related sites all over the Internet. I may have misunderstood, got something wrong or remember wrongly. )

 

Most of it seems right, except that no matter what you choose there are only 2 compulsory years with a second foreign language in High School. The third year is optional no matter what you've chosen before.

 

This has been nagging me for a while, so I decided to check it out. I found this in "Rundskriv F-03-06", as the bureaucrats call it:

 

Alt. 3. Elever som på ungdomstrinnet har hatt opplæring i fordypning i engelsk, norsk eller samisk og ikke har hatt opplæring i fremmedspråk i grunnskolen, skal begynne med fremmedspråk i videregående opplæring. Disse elevene skal i videregående ha opplæring både i læreplanens nivå I og i nivå II. Timetallet er 113 årstimer i Vg1, 112 årstimer i Vg2 og 140 årstimer i Vg3, til sammen 365 årstimer over tre år. Fagbetegnelsen i videregående skal være ”Fransk I+II”, ”Tysk I+II” osv.

 

Krav til vurdering etter avsluttet opplæring er det samme som for ”Fransk II”, ”Tysk II” osv.

 

Elever som har 140 årstimer opplæring i fremmedspråk som fellesfag i Vg3, vil få redusert timetallet til valgfrie programfag tilsvarende.

I now have my summer hollidays! Two months off from school;) Right now i'm at a mini-LAN! Life is really good now;)

 

(Edit: ikke på Engelsk--> skulle så life, ikke live;P.)

Simply agreed.

[Moraelyn]

I've never taken a vacation. Now that I live in Norway, my boss is telling me I have to take a vacation this year. I don't like it.

[WheelMan]

Haha, nice. Where are you from?

[Moraelyn]

Born: Peoria, Illinois

Teens: Phoenix, Arizona

30-something: Norway

 

 

 

So.. why doesn't Norway have any good LC shops? It's getting costly to import all the stuff.

[Slimda]

What does an LC-shop sell?

[Moraelyn]

Leftover Candycanes.

 

My favorites are the little ones you find in your grandmother's attic, from around 1980. You know the type I mean; the ones that have gone all kind of gooey from years of exposure to humidity and sort of transmogrified within their individual, yellowing wrappers, into something vaguely their original shape, but of an off-pale color with no defined contours. Mmm.. chewy. They age like good wine, you know.

 

Three days later you wake up on your bed, having no recollection of time's passing. You stretch and fight off the cramps, stumble to the window and look outside.. and something isn't quite right anymore. You can see the shadows, and they can see you. The first time one of them tries to touch you if freaks you the Hell out. When you realize you can't avoid it, you gradually embrace them. You find the darkness comforting and you sympathize with the shadows while you curse at the sun for being an asshole.
