Current Music: Andrew W K - "Ready To Die" (in my head :))

Heeeel gezellig avondje gisteren! I only got about 4 hours of sleep, so I'm very tired now (could barely keep my eyes open in class), but we had a great time. (P: spreek je vanavond! :)) And I finally saw "Silence of the Lambs" and "Hannibal", so Mandy, I now totally understand all those comments back at Stanton about "Shut up or I'll eat you!" LOL! And, I have also now made a "Schiphol run" so Mom and Dad, I won't have any trouble getting to you on 24 Dec... :)

And - it's Halloween! I gave my American teacher a Reese's cup in class today from the package Mom sent and he said, "Oh, hey thanks! I haven't had one of these in years!" because he's been in NL for 4 years now and they for some reason don't seem to like the idea of mixing chocolate and peanut butter over here. Oh well, lekker anyway. :)

Further... not much... oh yeah, Boswell starts Monday, I'm going to see Legally Blond II on Tuesday (right M?? ;)) and my linguistics exam is Wednesday. That's as far into the future as I can see right now... :)

Oh oh oh, and I might get an electric scooter for Christmas!!! Not a moped, but like a normal Razor-type scooter, but that's electrically powered! That'd be a lot nicer to have around here than a bike - not only is it a lot faster, but there are some nasty hills by my apartment (which this thing's advertisement says it can handle) and you can just fold it up and take it with you wherever you go - no need for locks or anything. And the tires are hard plastic (I think) thus no worrying about flat tires either... the only downside is that it would be a bit heavy to put into my suitcase to take home again, but that just means I'll have to send lots of stuff home with Mom. ;) (Hi... :))

[Aside note: Hey, C!! (You know which one I mean... my cute adorable little sister you... ) - Why didn't you tell me?? I had to read it on your website! :P Anyway, love ya and let me know if I can do anything or if you wanna talk...]

Happy Halloween, everybody!
