#kitchats

hopefully I remember to post. i don’t post on my main lol. so whenever i take photos, i share hopefully! mostly texas birds (cause I live there) and i may forget about this very fast but ya! i take all my photos on a nikon w/ a micro lens! they start out at about 5000x3000, but through cropping, transferring and then posting it gets compressed pretty well. i dont usually post edited photos! even though i am photoshop certified, its usually just the cropped image. whenever i take photos, ill queue them to the blog. so you can tell when i go out and bird!

i don’t know what im doing have a house sparrow i saw yesterday (4/25/26)

my plan so far is to maybe try and keep a language diary where I write one entry a day. Where I write about literally anything but just in Norwegian. Hopefully i'll be able to look back at what I've written and see my improvement and I'll get used to writing in a way that I get the hang of grammar and words that I would need/use.

I also want to do at least 30 minutes of revision a day, either in the morning or at the end of the day. And also try and use Duolingo at least once a day as well.

That's my overall plan from the beginning, i'm sure it'll change as time goes on but it's a starting point.

This blog is going to be my diary, or simply a place for me to talk into the void. I’m hopefully going to use this to help myself learn Norwegian and track my improvements so I can look back and see how far I’ve come.

I’m an at the bottom, a basic beginner with zero experience in the language other than a simple Hallo, Takk and God morgen so its gonna be rough and its definitely gonna be a bit naff for a while but I don’t care. This will hopefully be easier than buying another notebook and I don’t even have to worry about losing it!

This isn’t really intended for anyone else to see but if they do I don’t mind but I’m just going to be using posts for myself and tags so that I can keep track of them I guess.

I’ll probably use this to write about, and just keep a memory of, the next few years whenever I feel like it, it’s gonna be a lot of new stuff to do and it’s gonna be fun and scary and I’m quite excited

So, today is 23/05/2022 and I have already booked my visit to London for my visa which will be next month and will hopefully be moving to Norway in the next couple of months in order to begin my masters degree which is spread over the course of two years. The application process was long and I already have over 7,000 words in my Word folder talking about it so I’m not going to start again. 

I’m going to come up with a plan or goal of some kind which i would like to stick to. Today is Monday so I think I will try and figure out my plan and start tomorrow. I’m still working part time but I definitely have enough spare time to dedicate somewhat to this. I hope that by having this blog and posting on it, it will motivate me to be more involved and pressure me to keep track because I’m usually a pushover when it comes to deadline and I want to try and change that about myself.

I’m going to try and make a goals page or get a to do list together and hopefully i can upload that tonight or at some point soon.
