This year Im starting at a new school, and I just got a letter from my future school.. I got into the class I wanted to!! w00t w00t! Go me!
ok, move along people. :D
-
Well I\'m signed up for the University in aalborg, here in DK so my future is secured :P
can\'t wait to start studying chemistry...!! :D
-
Bah, I hate chemistry and Physics, yet, I will study 250 points of it :/
-
well, my schools pretty nice, but I doubt I could exactly cheer for my presence here... I\'m not very optimistic about life right now...
-
Well, if you need to talk we are here, although I doubt that we can help.
-
Good to hear that some of you are happy about your school..
I go on the technology Class and I feel like i\'m wasting time on that pointless class,, 2 years untill I graduate!! 2 years!!! Then I can finally choose a school where I can learn some serius computer grafix.
But the students are great...
-
man, it\'s just money issues and arguing with the wife about them, had to skip school today because we can\'t pay for daycare. 95 bucks a week
-
ouch.. thats alot. No grandmas or that kind of stuff?
Niber: Don say that! Im going to technology... Computers and designing.
-
well, nicky\'s got a grandma and a great grandma, he\'s too energetic for great grandma, and she\'s got a lot of breakables... grandma works full time, and my dad\'s not in good health, as in he might not see his granddaughter born. so we don\'t have anyone that can look after him in the family. and I don\'t trust dani\'s best friend with him.
-
hmm, in Sweden there is a thing called \"daily mom\", which is a person who babysits children, for a fee. My mom used to be one, and she charged about 2$ an hour.
-
heh, yeah, we\'d be lucky if we got a babysitter for under 10 an hour here. which is part of why our day care is so expensive... that and the fact that the only place we could find that had room for a 2 year old was a catholic school...
god, every time I think about that, I wanna vomit. they\'re already teaching him to pray at lunchtime... ick
-
Tyger, man I know how tough that whole situation is.
I wish you all the luck in the world.
Financial problems aren\'t as bad as they seem... well they don\'t throw you in jail for not being able to pay your bills, at least. ;)
As far as the praying goes... I am raising Christians due to the public school system... can you believe that?
-
Here in DK, we are tought about christianity in elementary school up to 7th grade... then we have a class called Religion in 3.g (senior year) in the Gymnasium (which is the equivalent of High School) and are tought about the theology and different things behind religion... I\'m not very enthusiastic about that, but hey, It can\'t be that bad...
As for babysitters... we have something called communal day care here in Denmark, which we pay through taxes, so in a way it\'s free, and then again it isn\'t...
And I\'m looking forward to chemistry only.. although I am not that bad at physics or math either... ;)
-
no, we can\'t be thrown in jail....
we can lose our apartment. we can lose our phoneline, our electricity, and just about everything else...
I just hope they don\'t take our son if we don\'t have anyplace to live.
-
That would be horrible! I hope nothing of that sort happens to you tyger...!
EDIT: got a bit too fancy with my words there :P
-
well, hopefully, I can manage to swing my budget, wife nearly got a good paying job yesterday, but they require a car...
I\'m supposed to get a refund check in the next couple of days for my pell grant, but that doesn\'t help me now...
-
I wish you the best of luck getting that budget right...

Oops was that what you said Woohoo to and I complained about it.
Well ok it\'s not that bad,, it\'s quite fun but don\'t expect to learn anything useful, the designing class is so extremely simple so I had to choose programingclass even do I am a artist.. The year that has gone we have learned programs like: Windows Explorer, Word, excel, outlook express,, this year we will learn frontpage *sign*..
-
you think thats bad... my first semester I had to take a computer basics course because they required everyone to take it to ensure that they knew how to do their term papers on a computer...

Hi Caldazar,
Congratulations with coming in to the right school.
Held og lykke, m?ske ses vi i PS.
May darkness cover your path
Wolfmane
-
Bah, thank you! Welcome here, and I\'ll see you ingame.
@everyone else: Writing all that stuff took you quite some time ehh.. shame on you :P
-
@Wolfmane
W00t another dane!! :D
-
Yes seems like us Scandinavians are turning out in force. I\'m already working on a few others to join in on PS.
Only for the Danes, Swedes and Norwegians among us: 8) Ain\'t we snobbish
Det kan v?re at vi skulle overveje at stifte en guild som er baseret p? folk fra Norden. Jeg t?nker ikke p? en eksklusive guild men m?ske en der accepterer folk der allerede er medlemmer af en eksisterende guild, en slags venskabsklub eller s?\'n n?get.
Hva\' synes I?
-
Ved ik rigtig... Er allerede medlem af en guild, to faktisk... har oven i k?bet f?et en council plads! Hvis du har lyst til at kigge lidt p? siden s? er den her The Arcane Order (http://www.arcaneorder.cjb.net/)
ved godt den ik er s?rlig k?n, men det kan den jo altid blive.. det vigtige er at vi mangler en Archmage of Crystal
vi er en magi baseret guild, s? hvis du ik har t?nkt dig at spille mage ved n?ste release, er det nok ik s? meget ved...
men hvis der er stemning for det, vil jeg da bakke op om projektet og m?ske joine...
Well enough of this, I\'ll return to english... for now :P
-
it didn\'t take me that long to write, took me that long to read... l33t really does give me a headache, and makes me nauseous as well.
-
Hi Xaltar,
I\'ll take a look at Arcane, thanks.
Jeg kan se p? websiden at du ikke er medlem af R?det under dit forum navn. Hvilken en er du? Jeg overvejer faktisk at spille rollen som en Dermorian kvinde som er Alchemist, dyretrainer og specialiseret i Crystal Way under navnet Illyria. Vi ser det an.
Sorry everyone else but it\'s sooooo tempting!
-
Well, hope you like it :)... and really hope you\'ll join... just send a mail to the email at the join section of the page.
Ja jeg hedder Malentor I r?det, og han er ogs? min main character.. Du joiner bare, for der er stadig en ledig plads som crystal magicker... vi ses forh?bentlig i r?det s?..
-
you know, somehow, though I can\'t read it, that\'s much more pleasant to look at than leetspeak
-
B3Lie\\/3 |\\/|E, iT I$!
Believe me, it is!
heh, couldn\'t help it :P
Danish is a very hard language to learn, but it\'s still great IMO... You just gotta stick with it :P
-
man, I couldn\'t even learn spanish and I was raised in southern california, no chance I\'m gonna be able to learn a hard language...
-
Danish is really hard to pronounce, trust me, Ive tried. Its like talking with your mouth full of peanuts. :))
-
Just wondering what the sudden thing is with writing in danish is, is it the new fad or somthing although I must admit i\'d rather people wrote Danish instead of
\\/\\/oUL|) Li| as it would proably make more sense

haha :D yeah, it\'s not quite as melodious as swedish :P
I\'ve only heard one person who came from another country speak flawless danish.. and she was from russia :P
perhaps the harder the language the better they fit together with danish :P
-
I don\'t think pronunciation would be the biggest problem for me, sure it\'s probably hard. I can just never remember what words mean. I took spanish for a year, I still can\'t remember what most of the words I learned mean. I just don\'t think I can learn another language, you know?
-
ok tyger, I\'ve met quite a few americans and none of them where able to pronounce this the right way : \"R?d gr?d med fl?de\" :D man it\'s fun to hear people run amok because they can\'t say it right... some actually get quite pissed :D of course I can\'t tell if you are pronouncing it right since I can\'t hear you.. and I\'m not sure you even now what \"?\" is :P
-
Oh, I do! I do! I learned it when I was on a fotball-camp on Bornholm (an island). :D
-
first of all, I wouldn\'t even try to say it untill I\'ve heard someone say it. in front of me. That would be most peoples first mistake.
and no, I don\'t know what it is, I\'ve heard some danes speak
If I really had to guess, I\'d say it\'s that sound that\'s kind of like a double o, or a long u, but with a strained overtone...
I honestly don\'t know.
I still say the actual remembering the words would be a much worse problem
I can just see me now, asking for a donut, and telling someone I like being reamed in my ear.... or something equally as foul...
-
heh, well his ? is the same thing as the swedish \'?\'. Not that you understand more of that.. just todays tooltip ;)
-
well, I still don\'t know what it is, I\'m not going to try to pronounce it, and I refuse to make another guess...

Tell me about it Xalthar!!!!!!!!!11
I\'m from South Africa, married a Dane and had to learn the language, some call it a throte disease. Took me 2 years to learn, 3 more to become fluent and another 2 to work on the accent, I\'m almost there.
But I CAN say \"R?d gr?d med fl?de\" and it doesn\'t sounds so bad anymore 8) .
Tyger me and Xalthar both live in Denmark (he is a native Viking) that\'s where the Danish comes to pop out now and then. Malentor is Finish but they speak Swedish over there as a second language and Swedish and Danish are closely related so he throws some Swedish in once in a while.
-
well the closest you can come to describing the letter \"?\" is that it is pronounced \"OE\" We are not pressuring you to do anything against your own will tyger, so don\'t worry ;)
Caldazar... Bah, Bornholm is almost swedish :P us from the mainland make fun of the Bornholmers because they sound like a mixture of danish and swedish :D
hey Wolf, it\'s Tepsu who\'s from finland, not malentor, that\'s my alt. :]
-
Oh, so it\'s kinda like that noise my wife made when nicky was born :p
seriously, unless I can hear it said, I won\'t try it. I\'d look kinda funny to my wife and our friend justin sittin here in the livin room anyway
-
heh :P Since I haven\'t heard anyone giving birth, I couldn\'t say... You could record some audio sessions of you trying to pronounce the letter \"?\" and post the link here, then I would gladly correct you :P :P :P
let\'s stop the nonsense about the letter \"?\" now shall we... and move on to \"?\" instead :P NOT!! :D
-
Isnt that like the swedish
-
yep \"?\" is somewhat like \"?\" and \"?\" is somewhat like \"?\"...
don\'t know about \"?\" though :D perhaps you use that in sweden too??
-
As a matter of fact, we do. Like in the swedish word for Xalthar: ?sna. ;)
j/K
-
Yeah, and \"?\" like in the danish word for Caldazar: \"?sel\" ;)
-
I swear to god, you people have more vowels than we have consonants :P
-
heh, you haven\'t seen russian yet then ;)
-
Ok people your local Danish expert is back again! 8)
Xalthar, sorry \'bout the alt confusion, jeg er bare snotforvirret nogen gange. Og s? bare for sjovt:
?re v?re vores sprog, sp?rge mig bare det er ikke noget sp?g, ?h nej det er noget man kan n?! :D
:D There is a sentence for you with words used with ? ? ? tiger.
Actually, you are more correct than you know Tiger. Danish has 3 vowels extra in the alphabet but it has over 50 vowel sounds in pronounciation! X( 8o ;( ?(
Tyger, the ? sound (actually there are several pronounciations of it depending on where the stress is placed in a word) is practised best whilst sitting on the John during a particularly bad case of constipation. When the release finaly comes the ? sound is pronounced flawlessly. :P
-
Wow, even I couldn\'t have told you that tyger :D Guess you do learn a lot about the language when you don\'t grow up with it, I hereby consider Wolf an expert of the danish tongue ;)
-
Like I said, the noise my wife makes when she had our little boy... just after the first push, before the nurse told her to breath and she said \"I AM ****ING BREATHING YOU ****!!!\"
pregnant women are so colorful...
Edited for language.
-
Your lucky your little boy didnt hear that... :rolleyes: ;)
-
well, if you want to be technical... he WAS sorta there at the time...
-
Yeah, otherwise it would have been kinda creepy...
*contemplates what life would be like if the children weren\'t there at their own births*

*contemplates what life would be like if he didn\'t attend his own funeral...*
