Current Music: Ronan Keating - “When You Say Nothing At All”

(Thought of the Moment: I’m watching Notting Hill, which I haven’t seen in a long time, and I didn’t remember that this song was part of the soundtrack. This is/was mine and D’s song… well, one of them… comes from the ESP-thing, from not having to talk, and always makes me think about him. In a nice way, though.)

Where is my Now and Then DVD, trouwens?! I must have left it at home, but for some reason I’ve been wanting to watch it for like a week now. Why did I bring things like Monty Python, which I never watch, and leave Now and Then? :( Mom… a suggestion for that care package… ??? :-)

On a lighter note: Cell phone, cell phone, Jess has a cell phone… WOOHOO!!! Siemens M55, if anyone cares… the one I originally wanted… and It. Is. So. Cool. Tiny, orange buttons, personalize-able rings, backgrounds, screensavers, polyphonic ringtones… my only complaint is that it won’t synchronize with Hotmail, but I think that just might be because it’s brand new. We’ll see. Anyway, e-mail me if you want the number and I’ll consider it. :-)

…Well, hello again, 3 hours later… haha! I minimized this window and did things like finish the movie, hang up wet laundry, eat ice cream, chat with D and C, play with my phone… and then I realized I never posted this. Haha! Got to change the date at the top now – it’s Thursday now…

Had a good day. Orientation (oh @#$%, I still didn’t e-mail those professors! Okay, can’t go to bed yet after all…) went well, except that they are only now giving us the exact course times, meaning of course that S and I both have conflicts with our Boswell classes. Sigh. So I have to wade through more red tape. But we got our tentative schedules, did our police papers, bought food, got me a phone (and new pillows… no more stiff neck… YAY!), got an internet router (so no more switching back and forth, YAY again!)… yeah, a productive day. And I forgot to worry about being a perfectionist and just jabbered away to one of the coordinators in Dutch… I think it’s because for the first time since I’ve been here, I was not surrounded by natives, so I didn’t feel inferior, I just spoke. Which was cool.

No big plans for tomorrow… just to clean the kitchen. (A bigger job than it sounds.) And get that light fixed… it’s burned out. And maybe get our voordeel urenkaarten - discount train passes. And work out this schedule stuff. We shall see.

Goodnight. Good morning. Whatever. Ciao and aloha, they work for both. :-)
