Leuven's secret garden

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 30, 2008, 7:36 AM
As I'm leaving Leuven in just four days I went with a friend of mine to the Provincial garden/park. It was just stunning! I really loved it!

I guess this is my last update in some time, because of the move and the settling in Norway I won't be able to upload anything very soon I guess...

Stay cool and be strong and enjoy your holidays!

Today I had my last exam, and it actually went pretty OK I think. At least I hope so. Not that it matters that much as I'm moving back to Norway in two weeks time and will enter university there and take other subjects and stuff, but you know I've tried here and I've done my best and if I pass I'll be happy and if I don't pass I'll be able to look back at the past three years in Belgium and realize that I'm a total different person now than just three years ago.
I've learned so much about my self and about the world and I definitely don't regret any thing!

So the last weeks I've been able to test my new camera and stuff, but I've not been able to edit my pictures or even resize them because of computer problems, you know all those stupid things computers tend to do when you need them the most...

I'll just upload some now and maybe more tomorrow or any other day this week, I'll see when I've got time ;-)

P. 19 of my course: There are no hard and fast rules telling us when compounds are written as (i) (ii) or (iii) [...]; variation in this area depends on different dictionaries and house styles of publishing companies.

P. 20: Some general tendencies can be pointed out [...]

p. 21: again, only tendencies can be pointed out...

p. 21 (later): in cases of doubt, a dictionary will have to be consulted

p. 22: [...] They can occasionally be used as common nouns.

p. 22 (again): [...] quantity nouns may also acquire negative or positive shades of meaning which in their literal sense they lacked.

p. 24: Note that classifying nouns/adjectives tend to form taxonomies within the sociocultural context in which they are used

p. 24: However, classifying nouns/adjectives sometimes allow for a marked form of 'gradability' [...]

p. 25: Note that a number of adjectives can be either qualitative or classifying, depending on the meaning.

p. 25: However, when two or more qualitative adjectives co-occur in one noun phrase, certain ordering tendencies (rather than hard and fast rules) may be observed.

Are there any rules in English at all?!!!!

When I came to the shop yesterday (with all my savings and some extra money) the shop owner toled me that they were soled out :-s My first reaction was to buy another one, a newer model, but as I'm a poor student I couldn't afford that. They'll probably get another shipping from Canon this week and then they'll call me ;-)
