*waves* yes I’m still out there. I know I haven’t written anything in a month or so, but today I was asked by a certain someone when I was going to update this again. So here I am.
I actually had this week off of uni. Our academic year has 4 term and between each term we get a week off. So great I think, because you really don’t have to do anything. No preparing classes, no studying for exam, just a whole week of relaxation!
And did I relax!! On Wednesday I went to a sort of spa with my mother. I don’t dig saunas and bathing naked with other people though 
, so we only had a massage. A massage of an hour!! It was SO good. Never had it before, so I was curious and nervous, but it was great. Definitely gonna do that again sometime! After that we went for a drink in a cute little place cafe/restaurant nearby, in the “Rottemeren”, lovely place.
Last Monday I had a ‘Boltmeet’ again, since ages. Of course Bolt is no longer with us, but I still have contact with the Dutch Bolters every now and then, and this Monday I met up with 2 of them. One I had met a couple of times before, Elise, even went to Lowlands with her in 2005. The other guy I hadn’t met before, he was cool too. And the boyfriend of the girl was there too. It was in Leiden, a big university city, hadn’t been there in forever! Most of my classmates from high school went there, because it is so close to Zoetermeer. For me that was a reason not to go there Anyway, it was nice to be in Leiden again. I wouldn’t want to live there, but it’s nice to spend a day there. Unfortunately the weather was pretty bad, so we just had a small walk through the city. Then we went to the house of Elise and her boyfriend, where we just talked and chilled. At some point we got hungry, so we went into the city again and went to eat something. After that I hopped on the train to Utrecht again, was a fun day.
Because of all the train rides I made this week, I FINALLY finished reading the book I had started last December/January. Yes, I worked my way through Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina”. I’m not good at writing reviews, so I won’t bother with that. It was very detailed and I think some parts could’ve been shorter, but overall I quite liked it. He really showed the depth of the characters, they were very real, I like that.
Now I’ve started in Virginia Woolf’s “Mrs. Dalloway”, but I’m only a couple of pages in, so I can’t say anything about that yet.
Tomorrow I don’t have to work! In the afternoon we’re going to an exposition of my uncle and three of his friends. he makes sculptures and he paints. I haven’t seen much of his work, but I like some of it, so I’m curious about it. I think my brother is coming too, so after that we’re going to have dinner somewhere.
And then on Sunday I can mentally prepare myself for the new term.. I’ll only have 3 classes, so I can’t complain. Two on Tuesday and one on Thursday, so that’s not bad! And this Mondy I have to sign up for the courses of term 3 and 4, so that always counts for some figuring out and puzzling if classes won’t overlap.
That’s all for the little update, I’m looking forward to a certain exciting event, which I’ll keep to myself, because I can!
