Today, I woke up and soon after blurting good morning to Johan I understood something was different with my voice. When I speak I do it with two voices, one acute and one deep. I sound like a robot! How cool is that? If only it didn't come with throat pain and if only I didn't have a meeting with politicians in my school in 1h.
I also got my grades, as promised. Although, I learned that this is actually not my final grade, which I will only get next week (exam + classes). I would have fall from my chair if I was sitting. I got A in all parts, except speaking, in which I got C. I knew it had been worse, but it's still not that bad. To be completely honest it was even better than that, because I got 40/40 in reading and 23/24 in listening. To write my grades here is very anti-Swedish, because one shouldn't show off. I'm not! I'm not bragging! I'm just happy. Happy that it was all worth it!
I'm not a genius. I don't have children. I don't have a husband that demands 3 meals a day everyday. I don't have a job. I have time. I put all my time and effort in learning Swedish, probably scared that I would never be able to learn it, like it felt when I was trying to learn Czech. I have also a Swedish partner who takes the time to go through my texts, and who after a long day of work sits with me and talks, listens and corrects my Swedish. Learning is like a snowball, in both ways. If it goes well, one gets more motivated, therefore studies more, getting better results and even more motivation. The same happens in the other way. One tries and fails, looses motivation, therefore studies less, cares less and gets even worse results.

Since I came to stay in Sweden it was a big deal for me to learn the language, so I'm really happy it snowballed upwards.
I want to leave a special thanks to those who took the time to leave a comment or an email yesterday. It was so nice to read them especially when I was so anxious. Tack för allt!
Hoje quando acordei e logo após dizer bom dia ao Johan percebi que havia qualquer coisa estranha na minha voz. Quando falo, faço-o com duas vozes, uma aguda e um grossa. Eu soo como um robô! Altamente! Se ao menos estes esfeitos especiais não viessem acompanhados por uma dor de garganta e se ao menos eu não tivesse uma reunião com políticos lá na escola daqui a 1h.
Como prometido hoje também recebi as minhas notas. No entanto, esta não é a nota final, essa só vou saber na semana que vem (aulas + exame). Teria caído da cadeira se estivesse sentada na altura. Tive A em todas as partes do exame, excepto na oral, onde tive C. Eu sabia que tinha sido a pior, e ainda assim não foi tão má. Para ser completamente honesta, foi ainda melhor do que isso, porque tive 40/40 na leitura e 23/24 na audição. Escrever aqui as minhas notas é muito anti-Sueco, porque não se deve gabar dos nossos feitos individuais. Eu não quero nem me estou a gabar! Estou apenas feliz. Feliz por o meu investimento ter valido a pena!
Uma vez que vim para ficar na Suécia era bastante importante para mim aprender a língua, então estou realmente feliz por a minha bola de neve ter rolado para o lado positivo.
Quero deixar um agradecimento especial para aqueles que me deixam um comentário ou um e-mail ontem. Foi muito bom ler as vossas mensagens, especialmente num dia em que eu estava tão ansiosa. Tack för allt!
Parabens Sandra. Well done!!! As melhoras com as dores de garganta, isso e que nao e nada agradavel.
