Current Music: Marco Borsato - "Zomaar" (mooi!!!)

Guess what? I get to give English lessons! One-on-one with a school principal who wants to go to a conference in the US in a few months. It's not for sure yet, but A (P's mom's boyfriend) e-mailed me about it on Thursday night. He thought of me because I'm a native English speaker and P, a native Dutch speaker, has been giving Dutch lessons to a Spaniard for some time now... Anyway, I answered and now I'm waiting on his answer again. Exciting!!! First because I'm seriously running out of money, but also just because this is something I've always wanted to try. I'm going to pick up a TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) minor when I get back to UF, and this is a good start. I hope it actually works out - it sounds fun. And lucrative. :)

Poor P (the other one) is working yet again; all the employees are having to work overtime because they're so busy these days. And on top of that, he has to drive from Buitenpost (in Friesland) just to *get* to work (in de buurt van Almere of Amsterdam) every day. But I'll admit, he sees some interesting things. He calls almost every night and there's always something new - a pile of brand-new shoes sitting in the middle of nowhere, a guy peeing against a building, a sex-toys factory with the alarm going off (so naturally they had to inspect the whole building ;))... the list goes on. :)

I didn't do much today - rode my bike into town, loaded my Chipknip (easier way to pay for trains), put air in my bike tire, bought a few groceries (finally found a microwave pizza)... just normal stuff. Tomorrow I have to go to Lunetten to pick up my Elton John tickets from a woman at her job (at a dialysis center). Goodbye to another 120 euro... (P, ik zei toch al dat dit geen 'ik vind je lief' kado is... geef me mijn 135 euro! LOL!)

Speaking of tickets, if anyone wants a pair of first-ring Shania seats, e-mail me. If I don't get any responses within a few days I'll stick them on eBay.

One last thing, pretty much only applies to the Dutch people since it's about a commercial: heeft iemand die reclame met de Amerikaanse meisjes gezien? Ik weet eigenlijk niet waar het over gaat, maar die met 'Wij studeren Nederlands in Amsterdam... wij vonden jullie wel een beetje raar in het begin.' Ik kan absoluut niet tegen dat accent! Andere accenten heb ik geen probleem mee, maar het Amerikaanse accent vind ik zo lelijk in de Nederlandse taal. Vooral met: 'Jullie Nederlanders maken de beste toetjes ter wereld!' ...Doet dat accent geen pijn aan jullie oren??? Ugh! Ik vind het zo ontzettend vreselijk dat ik echt niet kan luisteren... zo praat ik niet, he???

Geen zin meer in schrijven...
