Okay, let's see. I posted pictures, they're actually on facebook for once so if you'd like to see those, hopefully you are my facebook friend. Otherwise, don't worry about it. It's not that exciting, I guess.
As before stated, I spent the weekend with Jenny and her family, but the weekend ended up lasting until Tuesday for various reasons. I stayed until Monday so that I could go to Tessa's graduation with Jenn. It was nothing like any other graduation I've ever been to but overall it was still just a graduation, end result the same as any other. Jenn and I were going to go to the vodafone store on Monday so that I could get a phone but they said in order to have the phone in my name I have to be a European residence, and I don't have my residence permit yet. I resigned myself to wait until October to get a phone. So when we got home and told Jennifer's mother that, she said I should stay yet another night and we could go to the phone store Tuesday and put it in her name on her bank account. It was very nice of her and for that I am eternally grateful. I'm glad that the phones and plans are so much cheaper here, plus they are big on discounts. So on my two year contract, I get 50% off of my plan for the first 12 months. I definitely cannot complain about that. The plan was only €47,50 a month to begin with. I can live with that.
Little kids are adorable. Until you've got a six-year-old standing in front of you asking "waarom niet?" over and over and suddenly you have to wonder what you just said no to that would make her ask why not? Poor kids, they don't understand why I don't answer them, and I don't understand anything they are saying. Then there is Jennifer's three-year-old cousin who doesn't seem to care that I don't answer, she just keeps talking. And her nine-year-old brother who tries so hard to speak English, but he also says it would be better if I just speak Dutch. Oh, if only it were that easy, right? He knows far more of English at nine years old than I know of Dutch at twenty. Lucky kid. I wish I could learn with the brain of a five-year-old. I would pick it up so much faster.
So yesterday it was extremely hot, then last night there was a thunderstorm. Awesome weather. I would go to the beach today if it didn't sound like a lot of work... Maybe I should just stop being lazy and go anyway. I love easy access to the sea, I can go whenever I want as long as I'm not having a decidedly lazy day. Just to walk in the water for a bit...
Also, yesterday was the strangest 4th of July, as for once in my life it was not a holiday. Nothing special at all, just another day.
Moral of the Story: I really didn't have anything to say in this blog post so it's boring and useless, but I had nothing better to do than update everyone on my boredom.
Have a nice day!
