    I’ve been taking the module 1 Danish language class for English speakers all semester. The course is not affiliated with RSLIS.

    Well, the semester is winding down. I haven’t been updating because I was working on my project paper. I was working with a partner and we turned it in this past Friday! The oral exam is next Friday, the 19th. I’ve never taken an oral exam before but I hope it goes well. In the…

    Well, I’ve boarded the flight that is spring semester 2008. For the most part, things aren’t all that bad. My professors are all nice, and the classes definitely seem interesting.
