Language Learning Log 2021Week 48 (29.11 - 05.12)Read 3x articlesRead 1x chapter Meg meg megListened to 1.5x Norsken, svensken og dansken podcasts2x italki lessons (2h)Italki homeworkFinished writing an essay about educationStarted writing an essay about oil drillingWatched 1x Kristiania magiske tivoliteater episodeWrote 1x journal entryDuolingoTW: weight/diet mention below.I said at the start of this year I wanted to get better at understanding Swedish and Danish and I’d listen to Norsken, svensken og dansken every week. I then completely forgot about this and did other things instead. Got back to it this week an, unsurprisingly, I have made next to no progress with this goal. Okay, doing a little Swedish Duolingo and watching Exit has helped a little, but my understanding is still poor, and my Danish comprehension is terrible. Oh well.This week I tried to write an essay about oil. Given it’s, y’know, Norway’s thing, I figured it’d be an important topic to get to grips with, as it’s likely to be somewhere on the Bergenstest. And yeah, I struggled like you would not believe. So I guess I need to learn more about the energy industry in Norway and how to talk/write about it (ugh yawn). There are a bunch of other yawn-worthy topics I really need to learn to write about like the Norwegian monarchy and NAV and the healthcare system, so I’ll make the effort to write about those too at some point.I started watching this years julekalender, which I think I’m going to thoroughly enjoy, but then I’ve not really had the chance to watch any more of it. Hopefully that’ll be different this week though!I made more of an effort with my training this week and eating a bit more healthy. It’s not a lot, but I’m so tired of feeling so not myself, y’know? I miss being able to do things and feeling confident in my own abilities. And while I don’t think my self worth has decreased because I’ve put on weight, I sure miss being slim and toned and being able to fit comfortably into my clothes. I’ve always hated my face, but I was at least proud of my muscle definition and my strength and my flexibility before. Now I don’t even really have that, and it feels like I have nothing to show for the years of effort I put in.Anyway, some kind of plans for this week:Catch up on/make an effort to watch Kristiania magiske tivoliteaterFinish that essay on oil drilling (ugh yawn but necessary)Training on both Thursday and Sunday (+ make an effort to stretch or work out for like 20 mins one other day)Work more with vocabulary -- source link
