Haha, well anyways, I don't really know what to say! Life just seems so normal now. I've been here a little over two months and I still have eight more to go. I can't even imagine how this year is going to turn out, but I know for sure that I will have some ever lasting memories and will have learned a lot from the experience.
I carved a couple of Jack-O'-Lanterns for the kids the other day and they just looooooooved them! I'm also obsessed with this German song that everyone here knows and either loves or hates called "Nein Mann". It's so addicting. I basically quote it in everyday life. "Hey, Emily, want some waffel?" "Nein mann. Ik wil geen waffel. Ich wil noch n bisschen tanzen!" Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBjDZMJUduo
Anyways, basically I love my life. I rode my bike again. For like, the 3rd time since I've been here. What's up with that? People bike here everyday, but I don't even have one that fits me :( Well, now I chat with my Dutch friends in Dutch, which is helping a lot. But I sound funny even over the internet..... oh well, if people only talk to me so they can have some fun that's better than nothing! LOL. I have so many friends because I'm soooooo popular! Just kidding. But I'm really getting to know people here, it's awesome! I used to be sad because I had too little to do, but now I'm going crazy because I have to schedule so many things!
If you want to know something funny and a little bit embarrassing, I failed an English test. How pathetic. I got it back and I was like....... wow. How did that happen? But it's okay.
I have acquired a strange love for bread now. It's all I ever want to eat. Well, lucky me, there's plenty of it!
It really is beautiful here. Every day after school I'm always happy to walk to the tram stop because it's just so pretty outside. I've never had "real" seasons in Los Angeles, so the yellow leaves falling from the trees are so gorgeous! (This sounds so cliche, but I don't care!) I'm just so happy all the time, but I really need to get crackin' on my college apps and stuff like that. It's fine to have fun, but now I need to have some more self-discipline. But I'm almost done with everything else I need to do. Oh... but I forgot I still have to do a semester of English literature online..... well, I guess if I ever find myself just staring at a wall with legitimately nothing to do, and it's raining outside, I'll work on that. I want to read so many books, and listen to so much music, and travel so many places, and visit so many friends, and buy so many things, and eat meer lekker dingen, and speak so many languages, and learn more about myself and other people and other places, and try out new stuff, and I don't have time for it all!!! Especially with my hour long commute to school *waahh* I think I will bring something to do on the tram rides now, like maybe sudoku or something, but not a book because I don't want to be too busy and miss my stop. And yes, I am reading a Dutch book, but it's for like, 13 year olds and is labeled as "an exciting girls' book" ahahaha, it's about these triplets and one of them has a boyfriend who doesn't recognize his own girlfriend and gives a ring to the wrong triplet! OMG, EXCITING GIRLS' BOOK. And right now I probably sound like the woo-hoo girl from robot chicken. (If you don't know who that is, find the video! I can't give you a link cause I don't get some American sites here, but it's funny if you can find it!)
But that's fine cause that's how I feel right now!
I went to Madurodam! It's a mini Netherlands, so there are figures of famous buildings there, with mini people and mini trees and normal sized birds and fish that look like massive beasts! Pictures to come soon :)
PS: Maybe I'll just make a new blog post once a week. But I can't promise one particular day, because... well, I don't want to schedule my life around this blog. So, just check back every once in a while, whenever you feel like it!
Well, now I have to go to bed because tomorrow is Tuesday, and I have class one hour earlier on Tuesdays. BTW, I don't post these blogs at 3:00 am, or whatever it says, idk why the times are all messed up, its only 10:45 pm.
Tot ziens,
Emily
