Everything is getting more difficult..

Accounting- struggled thru my last assignment, taking ages to understand concepts now. Groan.

Management Thought- writing essays puts me off. And my classmates are horrendously fluent and knowledgeable. Did not log in to the forum for only a day, and a flood of posts to catch up.

Swedish-u know that feeling, when the words are popping out all over your head, but u just cant get it out of a mouth in a sentence? Learning the different forms of nouns/verbs.. tough. But simple things like able to order food entirely in Swedish makes me feel happy for a day. A problem though that my classmates and I have discussed- in school we learn the formal Swedish (proper sentences and all), but its different from colloquial Swedish. I guess its the same problem for all languages.

Violin- teacher is awfully particular about the dynamics and tonation now. Length of bow to draw, pressure of the bow, position of the bow to use, position from the bridge. Put them all together for each different dynamic and linking them up in a piece can be so daunting. But it has also made me very appreciative -all these techniques are also practised on the piano, but after playing for so long, its becomes natural that u forget u are actually doing it.
