Its June 17th, and I can't help but keep a mental countdown of my last days here in Rotterdam. It's been a crazy ride to say the least, and right now I'm at a loss for words or feelings.

Studying usually keeps my mind off of things and I'm pretty good at distracting myself most of the time, but this is kind of a sticky situation I'm in right now. ( Read more... )

It's been a long time since I've written here and seems like all my public entries are all very superficial in terms of how I spend my days here in Rotterdam. Rest assured that I am supposed to be studying here too, God forbid, but believe it or not, I've actually studied very hard the past two weeks.

The end of March meant exams. Exams as in 100% ( Read more... )

I'm getting really tired of keeping track of the days and writing long entries so I'm just gonna stick with the highlights.

Last weekend, 17 of us on the exchange program went to Cologne (Köln), Germany for Carnival. What is Carnival you ask? For a formal definition, just click on the link.

Dear Journal,

I've been having so much fun this past week that I feel guilty, it's gotta be illegal to have THIS much fun. I wish I could document the details of my stay everyday, but time doesn't allow for it and I'd rather be out absorbing Europe.

But now that I'm sick and have nothing else better to do with my time, I'm going to write a recap and ( Read more... )

Hello from Rotterdam! *Long Entry Warning*

Wow, what an adventure it's been settling down here this the week. I'm sitting at my desk writing this entry looking at an AMAZING view from my window. Although sunlight is rare here, today was a beautiful day and being here listening to good music, sipping on hot chocolate, watching the sunset and writing ( Read more... )

I used to write entries like this around Thanksgiving... listing all the things I'm thankful for. I guess it's a good thing that I'm doing it late this year, because recent events prove to be not so fortunate and makes me not to take things for granted. It's only when you're in deep shit that you realize how lucky you've been =P

So let's see... ( Read more... )
