I LOVE IT HERE!

Look, I'm in there! Can you see me?  Can you, can you????  Don't worry, neither can I!  But it was so awesome!  Hold on, I have another one. (I didn't take either of these two pictures, Jenny found them online.)


There in the front with the blue and brown hat?? That's Tessa. Jenny and I were right behind her. We were in the front for Snow Patrol!  And Gary Lightbody, the lead singer? We got to touch his hand. We had some much fun!

So I took a few pictures for everyone who wants to see, I'm just waiting for them to upload. Give me a minute.

At this moment, I'm very happy with all these decisions I've been making. I really do like it here in the Netherlands. And it's winter!  I bet the summer will be even better.  The Hague is huge, the school is huge too, but it's a nice place, it seems.  It might be a challenge finding a place to live but maybe a challenge is what I need!  I can handle it.  And one of these days, I'll learn Dutch. I will probably learn to understand it before I learn to speak it but hey, that'd still be progress.  I've already caught on to a few words and phrases here and there.  I'm a linguistics nerd, it's only a matter of time.

So I have a couple pictures, let's see what we have.


This is one side of the university, courtesy of my own lovely photography.  No big deal, I suppose.


Another side of the school. Yes, it is surrounded by water. One of the many things I love about Europe, there is water everywhere. I love water!  And a school with skyways.  Yeaaaa.  Such a fancy school.

Ummm. Let's see, what else do I have?


The beach!  Scheveningen.  You know, the town whose name I can't say.


Drawings in the sand. Really sweet.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST!

Yes, we stood around waiting for 5 hours to watch Snow Patrol sing six songs! AND IT WAS AWESOME!  


Not to mention that being in the front is also very awesome. NOT TO MENTION WE WERE ON NATIONAL TELEVISION!  It snowed and rained all over us while we were standing there. It was packed and crowded and we were squished.  It couldn't have been any better. Pretty sure nothing can top that.


Except these hats.  Ten euros to charity, so worth it!
And my cursed Scandinavian eyes.  Thank you, Grandpa!

Oh yea, almost forgot.  The video where I'm on national television.
