Current Music: none

Decent day… got woken up by that @#$%^&* sun again (I should really remember to close my blinds), discovered that my Net was still working (yay!), went to Edah, got food, came back, ate, got online again and then L came on and said she was (finally!) back in Bilthoven – YAY!!! So we met at the station around 15.30 - soooo good to see her again, I had missed her! – and went for a cappuccino, spilled our guts about what we’d been doing the past few months ;) then came back here to Park R so she could see it, and then I went to their house for dinner. So it’s been a nice afternoon/evening.

Orientation starts Monday and I have no earthly idea where I’m supposed to go or what I’m supposed to do. S might know, but he’s still stuck in Belgium. The closest I have to a clue is this, from the UU website: “Op maandag 1 september 2003 wordt het academisch jaar 2003 - 2004 van de Universiteit Utrecht geopend om 16.00 uur (precies) in de Domkerk te Utrecht. Na een welkomstwoord door de rector magnificus, prof. dr. Willem Hendrik Gispen, houdt de voorzitter van het college van bestuur van de Universiteit Utrecht, drs. Jan G.F. Veldhuis, de rede “Seid einig, einig, einig”. Eenheid in betrekkelijke verscheidenheid.” (D’s reaction via MSN: “jesus... i don’t even know what that means”. Yeah. That makes two of us.)

Guess I’ll call P tomorrow if I can’t figure it out. Anyway, not too much other news. Stepped in dog @#$% in my new shoes. :( And no GTST tonight. Or tomorrow. Maar maandag begint het nieuwe seizoen – woohoo!

Goodnight… and hey… write to me, people! The guestbook is all well and good, but the only mails I’m getting lately are those stupid virus ones in my alternate account and that’s no fun. So write, and brighten my day! (And I mean this to anyone, but DH (actually the whole H family, haha), MM, and LW, I’m specifically talking to you! And LW – yes, that’s you, ‘twin’ – I mean it! LOL!)

Well, better late than never, but here goes: "Eenheid in betrekkelijke verscheidenheid" would best be translated as "Unity in relative diversity".

Any philosophers around to explain??
