HobbyWriter In reply to Summer-Peaches [2020-03-12 09:49:23 +0000 UTC]

I'm good, thank you :) (Smile) But also somewhat stressed.

Due to the novel coronavirus, and the huge spikes in the confirmed infected, schools and universities across the nation are effectively being shut down until Easter. Online lectures and stuff.
I think campus libraries and stuff are open, but that's about it. Everything from meetings to gatherings and happenings are canceled or postponed.
So, interesting times, to say the least.

But aside from that, quite good. A few big papers to write for university, but things are overall good. A bit tense, but good

I hadn't heard from you in a bit, so I wanted to check in on my friends - especially during all this with the virus :( (Sad) Gosh, seems the whole world is quarantined. Crazy! So there are a lot of cases in Norway, then?

Yeah, over a 1000 in the span of a few weeks. In a population of 5-6 million people...

How have you been?
We rarely ever talk anymore... Can't you see how it affects me by my failing grammar?!

Seriously though, how have you been?

HobbyWriter In reply to lovebug-2 [2017-06-14 21:07:34 +0000 UTC]

I'm good. Done with exams. Finished high school - might need to retake subjects if my grades don't hold up.

I'm sorry for not talking to you more, but to be honest your grammar isn't bad. :D (Big Grin)
And how are you?

My lil' Hobby is growing up!! You ready for collage? college? Yaknow what I mean..
But, yeah... I know the feels... Me and geometry aren't on the same plane and chemistry hates me like sulfer does water...

Aw!
I'm doing good.

HobbyWriter In reply to lovebug-2 [2017-06-23 11:05:20 +0000 UTC]

I thought it was sulphur, but I didn't have chemistry so what do I know? Maths and Economics were probably my worst subject so on the exams, though.
But I'm actually taking a year off, doing a creative writing course at an adult high school. Then it's hopefully away to teacher training college.

HobbyWriter In reply to lovebug-2 [2017-06-23 20:20:17 +0000 UTC]

Nah. Not really. It's a hobby (as my name would suggest.) But I want to have an excuse XD.
I'm going for a teacher right now. But I will always be a writer. I don't think I'll ever give up writing. Hope not at least.

Thanks, but it's all to do with interests. Aside from author and maybe tour guide, teacher is the only job I can see myself realistically do long-term. I love helping, inspiring and affecting others positively, be it by teaching, talking or writing.

I see that you are from Norway!! I don't believe I have met another Norwegian on this site? I like learning about other countries, and I've actually learned a lot through DeviantArt. Do you have any interesting facts about Norway that you'd be willing to share? :) (Smile)

Hmm how so? I asked you to share some cool facts, nothing arrogant there :D (Big Grin) Of course it's up to you ^^
But everyone should have at least a little pride in where they've come from, even if it's just something like "oh there was this really cool cookie shop next to my house growing up"

HobbyWriter In reply to Summer-Peaches [2017-01-20 16:05:26 +0000 UTC]

Free schooling (mostly), free healthcare, it's usually quite big temperature differences depending on where you go. Striking scenery in places. A lot of cool accents and places with different cultures, since Norway is a place full of mountains and forests, it used to be quite hard to get to far off places. So there are very distinct accents, cuisine, sayings and such. I also like the small towns here. One of the biggest cities we have is nothing more than 500,000 people, so some towns can go to very few people, numbering in a few thousands.

May not be so cool, but I think they're interesting.
It can also be very dark or very sunny here depending on the time of year. Very sunny or very dark. In the winter some places have nights that last for weeks, while they have 24-hour days in the summer.

Sorry for the late response! Got a bit busy with school there!

Thank you for the response ~ these are quite interesting facts indeed. That free schooling and healthcare sounds amazing :D (Big Grin) I'm jealous!!

Then again, it's coupled with a very complex tax system. The more you earn, the ¨higher amount of taxes you pay. And if you earn below a certain amount, you don't pay taxes at all, because you have enough with earning for a living.
