Okay it's been a while so: Update: I'm still in Norway. Have been this whole time. Trying to go home now and it's being a right old pain and/or horror-show. One wonders what a nation does when your visa expires if you're doing your best to leave the country the whole time and it's going to be fucking horrific in cost (like, equal to six months of my expenses, between flights and hotels-the-government-forces-you-to-stay-in-but-will-not-pay-for and rent that I am paying because canceling a rental contract when my flights might be cancelled at any second for any reason is foolhardy at best and I do not want to be homeless *and* alone in a foreign country while I, IDK, have panic attacks.). Also all my teachers are shit.
And best of all! We're having a second wave which means travel might get totally closed *and* nobody is wearing masks. (At least, as of last month, you can now *buy* masks in supermarkets rather than having to go hunting but *sighs*). For reference: by nobody, I mean "About half of people literally on major train lines, maybe a fifth to a quarter of the people walking on the streets, and maybe a tenth (including none of the employees) of the people in the supermarket. What the fuck.
