Hoihoi! Well, today's the big day... my Boswell test! The first day of it, anyway - it's tomorrow too. And apparently it's pretty hard, at least according to my classmates who've done tests here before (to pass out of B-level). Today is grammar and writing (my two best things :)) and tomorrow is reading, listening, and speaking. I'm only worried about the listening part - I still have trouble understanding people if they have any accent other than the "standard" Dutch that I learned, and even with that I have trouble if it's a man speaking. (Deeper voices are difficult for me; I've always had female teachers from Utrecht, so they all talked exactly the same way in roughly the same pitch. Now I have to "broaden" my comprehension a little and that's not so easy.) But apart from the listening, I should be fine. Reading isn't a problem (as long as I really concentrate, because they're going to make it as difficult as possible) and as long as I remember to slow down, speaking should be fine too.

I made my scrapbook yesterday! And it's already almost half full. I need to conserve space, LOL! But that was a lot of fun - I papered the back cover with hopje wrappers, drew a big Dutch flag on the spine with paint pen, and made a sort of collage on the front. And I've got all kinds of things inside - everything from pictures to coins to flowers. And I've changed my mind about not liking those pictures - once I stuck them in the album, I realized that a couple of them are so good they look professional. (Boy, am I modest... haha D! ;)) Anyway, I'm glad I finally got off my bum and did something like this, so I won't forget all the little details once I'm back in Florida.

It's only 10.48 and I don't have class until 13.15, but I came early so I could, together with all my normal computer things, print out portions of my website journal to stick in the scrapbook. (I left spaces for them.) But the computer room is reserved for some group or other, so I'm in the kantine on one of the 3 computers in there. No printer, dus. Oh well, I'll do it after class then.

Wish me luck!
