Day 35
I'm back! I am not dead (contrary to popular belief), though I did have a nasty bought with strep throat last week, hence my absence. The first thing I did after I got better was of course learn Swedish. Aaron and I asked around, and found that there are at least two people in my school who speak Swedish. They both know how to say 'hello,' however only one knew how to say 'how are you?' I decided to supplement my education with some handy phrases provided by the book, such as "There is a smurf buried in my butter," "You are a sausage," "My contact lens fell into that volcano on the right," and of course, the always useful phrase "There are a bunch of daffodils on the rampage." I imagine that I should also learn these phrases in French and Spanish, as these are fairly common situations, and I would not want to be stranded in a strange country without the ability to say these basic things. Perhaps I should think ahead, and learn "The palms of my feet are constructing portals for you while you sleep," In Chinese.
