Its a flu bout of epic proportions when you use an entire roll of toilet paper.
And that’s just for your nose.
I didn’t miss a SINGLE day of school. Did all my assignments DAILY and with so much interest too. The big exam is in a day’s time and here I am- a red, runny nose, congested chest and swollen eyes.
“But its just the Danish language exam.” Didn’t you know that learning Danish requires growing new throat muscles? All these glottal stops, phlegmatic R’s and the take-your-tongue-on-a-rollercoaster-ride soft D’s are ripping me a new adams apple.
Lose my femininity also and flunk test also. FML!
Danish class was much more fun that I expected! I really like the class I am in and the teachers. Sadly most of my class will be moving on while I take a break for few weeks.
The main challenge so far has been to forget all my manners and learn to speak with my tongue wildly flapping out. Also forgotten is enunciation. Danish language encourages swallowing of words and syllables and making harsh guttural sounds. I hear the best way to learn Danish is to drink till your words slur.
On Wednesday, test day- my school bag may or may not contain a bottle of tequila.
You’re on the right path. I speak Danish best when I’m drunk. Not only I manage to produce all the impossible sounds with the organ called mouth, I eliminate my fear of making mistakes as well. It’s much important to walk straight than pay attention to your pronunciation
Dammit- yet another reason to drink. Not like I had a lack of them.
Believe it or not, sniffing a permanent marker works wonders for runny noses. Scout’s honor.
I will be shouting your name when I am in rehab, in a straitjacket, for sniffing too much permanent marker.
Ok, if you feel so sensitive about that, petrol has the same effect from what I’ve been told.
Just make sure you’re not smoking. Or something.
Maybe your cold with aid your pronounciation? That and the tequila of course. *grin*
Good luck Wednesday and I hope you feel better soon!
…that should of course be “will aid”. Hmmm, any more of that tequila left?
ooh, feel better soon! and congrats on becoming a local celebrity!
how do you ‘fml’ in danish?
To FML in danish, you simply breathe. Deep or otherwise is your choice. I want sun! Please adopt me and take me to the palm tree.
Hi, Good luck on your exam. I too have my Croatian test on wed.
Saludos.

Put your hand on your heart and say, All izz well’, and you shall be delivered from the evils of stress before exams. Just in case you are wondering what I am blabbering about, its something of a social revolution in India right now, post Amir Khan’s new movie.
Good Luck! I am sure you would break all previous records of Danish competence in unfortunate Ny Dansks.
aall wajj well- pappu passed! Have yet to see 3 idiots. So tempted to download a pirated version, but will be good citizen and buy DVD when in India.
Feel better and good luck with exams.
