Thesis writing time!

I've been very productive today. Got lots done. Laundry. Studying. More studying. Lunch. Dinner. Dishes.

Tomorrow David flies up to SkellefteƄ. On Monday his brother arrives and stays until Wednesday. Means I need to get lots of stuff done before then. Weee?

Meanwhile, back to studying lots. They say red wine is healthy for you. Perhaps I should look into getting a box. Sara brought a box by the other day that was quite good. Someday, when I'm feeling rich, I'll look into it. 215 kr is a LOT for a box of wine... probably not much by Swedish standards, but still.

Oh, and Peter has been VERY sick recently. In and out of the hospital. Apparently he picked up some odd little virus while in Ecuador with his PhD class. He's been dealing with fever and stuff for more than a week now. He's home with his family getting people cooking and doing laundry for him. Probably the best place. Moms are best when you aren't feeling well! But Peter seems to be doing MUCH better these days and his fever is mostly gone, even if he still coughs lots.

That's life pretty much.

Hej,
I'm also studing SFI in Uppsala. Do you know how many courses you need to take to do Tisus? Is it enough with SFI? or SAG?
Tack tack
Clara

Hmmm... once you've finished SFI you can try to get into the university Swedish class at Uppsala. You can take Tisus anytime, but you aren't expected to pass it until after you've had two courses beyond SAG. (Swedish A and Swedish B). At least that was my understanding. But instead of finishing SFI... doing SAG (1-2 semester) then Swedish A then Swedish B... the university class does all of that in one academic year.

Thanks a lot! Then do you have to do an exam to go into this University course? I think you can skip all those courses studying course C in Folkuniversitet, and then I can do Tisus, but then I have to pay... The problem is that I work so I can´t go to classes on the day, and I guess that all these classes (after sfi) are given on daytime..

Actually... they aren't. SAG offered at komvux has an evening course. Especially if you take the flex kurs. It is two evenings a week or something. They start that course up every 2 months or something, right after SFI tests. It's one of those circular classes. You get 2 weeks intro, then you're dropped in with the ongoing class. You have to study LOTS on your own though.
