Chapter 60: In Which We Are T-i-r-e-d.

Guess who worked almost 14 hours today. Yes. I did. Ah, the joys of this particular job... But seriously, it was rather fun, actually, to sit in your office at seven PM, knowing that no one else is left in the building. :D ( Read more... )

awesome people, work

Heh, a classmate of mine is from Iceland. He mocked Danish relentlessly when we took Kierkegaard last term. I'll have to let him know how impossible his own language is :P

Hahah. :D Maybe he mocked Danish because it makes some sense unlike Icelandic is quite easy. ;)

Just so you know, I have decided to learn Icelandic. I hate knowing that there are languages which I cannot understand. :D

Hah, if Danish is easy comparatively, then Icelandic terrifies me :P

I think it was this faux-Denmark/Iceland competition. The professor spent time doing Kierkegaard research in Denmark, so they'd have occasional back and forth about this "rivalry."

I am somewhat fluent in Swedish, and Danish is really much like it, so... :D But Icelandic is so different from both of them - maybe not grammatically, but I cannot get the vocabulary...

There is always competition between Scandinavian countries, you know. :D We are too close, so we have to dig these fake gaps between us. ;)
