Arrival in Holland

I arrived in Holland 3 days ago. All my flights were uneventful. There were a few minor delays but nothing to cause serious problems. All my bags made it on time and were actually among the first on the belt at Schiphol. A much better situation than last time when they lost my bags for 6 months.

We are busy here getting ready for Oude Nieuw (New Year) celebration. We will be celebrating at Gemma's friend Marij's this year just like last year. Lieselot's friend Anneke and her boyfriend Ton will also join just this year and Heleen will be in Amsterdam with friends. Later, we will head down to Inferno, the same club we went to last year. The club opens at 1am for their Oude Nieuw party. Last year was very nice. It wasn't too crowded and the music was nice.

I hope everyone has a Happy New Year.

The End of Fall Semester

I am writing this while taking a break (procrastinating) from studying for my last final for fall semester 2008 at Rocky Mountain College. It's hard to believe that I will be in Holland in such a short time. Time has traveled quickly and Holland is staring me in the face with a bright orange t-shirt on and waving it's large, red, white, and blue flag. It's hard to ignore and I seem to be thinking about next semester a lot... hmmm..... imagine that. 54 days until Spring Semester starts at UvA.
