Blah

Hey there Blog,

So I had my introduction day at university yesterday. It started at 9:45am so it took the 8:30 train so I could be there on time, because I wasn't sure how long walking from the train station would take to the adress on the letter. Of course I was early so I spent my 30 remaining minutes smoking a cigarette and listening to some jazz on my ipod. At 9:45 I went inside and sat down. It was pretty impressive for it was set in an old Lutherian church, turned into a place were classes were given. Anyhoo it started at 10:15 so I sat there for half an hour. I got talking with a nice girl who was going to study Swedish, and while talking to her, a friend of mine, Romee, showed up, so it was really nice to see a familiar face. For about 3 hours there were professors and students talking about some stuff, which was kind of fascinating and boring at the same time.
At noon, they said they had a lunch prepaired for us, which was a sandwich, an appel, a carton of milk and something else. I didn't want to seem ungratefull, but after three hours of listening, I needed something else. So Naturally Romee and I took the lunch hour-liberty to roam the streets of Amsterdam to find a McDonalds, and we did. After lunch there was like a two hour seminar about the study I had chosen, while the other studies departed. That was also kind of boring but it was nice, to have some specifics after a morning filled with general blabbing.
After that, we got split into five groups, and an older student would guide us to the two buildings where we will be having classes, and let's just say that they were old, confusing and wierd. I'm not trying to be spoiled or something but I was expecting a little more glam from a university...
After THAT, we were meeting two professors in two 45 minute classes. We started with litterature, which I love, and we had an interesting discussion about a poem. When that class ended, we had a class on collocations... Something that has always been my problem is that I can't learn grammar, because I do it right automatically. Of course I make mistakes but I mean come on! You can give me a collocation and I'll do it correctly, but if you ask me what one is...
(I'm also aware of the fact that my blog is/might be filled with grammar/spelling errors) (Whatever)
It was emotiannly draining and after that second class I decided to go home. There were drinks for new students in the other building but it wasn't mandatory.

Now I'm sitting at my desk in my cozy, non scary room trying to figure out how to make my student pass, which is utter bullshit! It like a friggin arts and crafts test. I tried calling a friend about it, and there is some shit with a plastic sticker and ARGH! IT"S NOT WORKING!

Anyhoo, I'd better get to ordering my books and all.
I hope I'll have a great time but so far, I feel bored, annoyed and tired.
Hugs&kisses

Adios mis amigos.

So where were we?

It has been six months since I last posted on my dear, sweet bloggy blog. I know. I have a lot to tell you though! So let's just make a short list of what has been going on. First of all, I passed my final exams, with good grades so woohoo to that! I didn't get excepted at the art school I wanted to attend in, so I signed up at the university of Amsterdam for next schoolyear, which is basically next week. I went to Barcelona for my senior trip, I went to Nice, France to visit a good friend, I went to Belgium where the weather was blah. So yeah, it doesn't sound like a whole lot but time has been flying by and tomorrow I have an introduction day in Amsterdam and on Saturday one of my aunts is getting (re)married, so I do have some stuff to look forward to. I also turned eightteen years old. I guess that pretty much covers it.

So now for my life from a contemporary angle:
These past few days I've been rearranging my room. The rearranging part of if was covered in two or three hours, but then comes the sorting out and the cleaning. I've been getting rid of all my unimportant highschool stuff, but my floor is still covered in boxes, papers and so forth. Clearly I did the fun parts first like rearranging my book shelves and picture frames, movies and other fun things but as much as I put away or throw away, the pile looks just as big, not to mention all the stuff under my bed...
I've also read a lot over the past weeks. The great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The hunger games trilogy by Suzanne Collins (I believe), which I ABSOLUTLEY LOVED! Diary of a wimpy kid 1 and 2 by Jeff Kinney which were hilarious and I can't wait to read the other ones. Can you keep a secret by Sophia Kinsella, Bossy pants by Tina fey (needles to say, epic and hilarious), Looking for Alaska by the genious known as John Green of whom I have a signed copy of Paper Towns and last but not least, Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone by J.K. Rowling.
Books I've purchased and intend to read are Emma, by Jane Austin, The Scarlet letter by I don't know and I'm too lazy to get up and look, and Wuthering heights by Emma or Charlotte Brönte.
I completley forgot about Dawn French's A tiny bit marvelous, which I also read, which is a funny and good read. So much for books.

I've started filling a small red Moleskine journal with little souvenirs, such as movie tickets, club tickets and small doodles, which is fun. Í always keep tickets to movies and theme parks etc. because I like to find them in my wallet and think back on all the happy (cheesyness alert!) memories and stuff. However, keeping all these is wallet space consuming so now I'll just grab my glue stick and put then in the little red journal.

I could go on and on about all the stuff that happened on my trips but frankly I'm too tired and too lazy to put that all down.

I feel like I don't have much more to write about so I'll just leave it this this. I hope it was sufficient, for those who read this (at the moment none I guess)
Anyhoo,

¡Adios!
