As I walked out of classroom 1, in which all 11th grade girls had been dividing rooms for Rome and I just had been standing in the other girls’ way neither knowing whom to share a room with, nor thinking I’d find anyone, I seriously thought over my position in 11th, and actually always since [...]

Wow, I haven’t been writing in a relatively long while. A lot has happened lately, but I’m not sure whether I can write pretty often now, cause I’m very busy getting my homework done.At first, I find I ought to give an update on the French1 issue. Last week, Mrs. Van O. told me to [...]
On My Future…
Posted in College / University, Personal on March 21, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
I feel sooo depressed… Now that I’m touring universities (went to the University of Utrecht today) and thinking about my future (ie. university, jobs, etc.), thoughts of what I REALLY think my future will be like keep spinning through my mind. Mum thinks I’m going to uni in September of 2005 (hate to say “next [...]
On Princess Juliana’s Death
Posted in Politics and Current Events on March 21, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday (Saturday) morning princess Juliana, queen Beatrix’s mother, died. She was 94-years-old and many people consider it to be in some ways good, cause she was severely demented. Juliana had already retired from queendom for six years when I was born, but from what I hear she was a very humane queen. Now I’ve never [...]

Yesterday Mr. De B. E-mailed me some info on Rome that he’d gotten from Mr. Nuesink (PE teacher and one of the arrangers for Rome). One paper was on the room arrangement. Wednesday March 31st we’re going to have a pre-arrangement. Hmmm, so I’m not gonna be free the first seven hours (which I actually [...]

Went to the doctor this morning at 9:10 AM because of the eye problem. I described my symptoms and the doc looked in my eye, but he couldn’t see any outward problem. Therefore, he referred me to an eye doc. Mum asked if it could be high intraocular pressure and the doc said the eye [...]
Talked to Tutor Yesterday

Tuesday the first period is standard tutor period. Most students talk to their tutors then and so do I. At first, I mentioned the new grade (5.8) for German. I forgot the six for French. For today, I had to write down what I looked forward to and what I was worried for in Rome [...]
French Class and the Ladies’ Views

Yesterday I had French class. I arrived a little bit late because my computer didn’t work (my Dutch teacher had given me a floppy with sellotape on it, so I couldn’t get the floppy out of the floppydrive). I told Mrs. Van O. that I hadn’t done my work, but she was calling everyone to [...]
Thoughts on the Madrid Terrorist Attacks
Posted in Politics and Current Events on March 15, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
It’s Madrid, ETA, international terrorism and the elections in Spain what we hear on the news all the time. Because Aznar blamed the ETA (Basque seperation movement) for the train attacks of last Thursday, while there seems to be great evidence that it’s Alquaeda, Aznar’s probably lost the elections. Most Spaniards were totally against the [...]
