zondag 2 november 2003

Hello again! It's November! (Thus the month of October is all safely tucked away in it's proper archive if you're looking for it.) I can't believe it... I've been here almost three months! I'm glad I didn't just come for a semester - it wouldn't have been long enough. One good decision made! :)

I already said this, but I'm still thinking about it so, once again, date with P was very nice (ja, dat ben jij! :))... I think (hope) that that might turn into something... my mobile bill is going to be soooo high with all the SMSing we've been doing, LOL! Oh well, it's worth it.

Went to MediaMarkt last week and asked AGAIN about my computer, and they all got on the phone and then came back and gave me some long convoluted story (in Dutch, to make it even better) about how it had been sent to Compaq, then Compaq sent it to another manufacturer, then those people sent it back to Compaq and then Compaq sent it back to the manufacturer and now they still have it and Compaq is calling every day going, "Come on, hurry up" but nothing's happening. Geez, my laptop will have traveled more of the country than I have, LOL! Anyway, so it's been 7 weeks and there's still no end in sight. I AM NOT HAPPY!!! I want to watch my DVDs but S is home so I can't use his computer and there's nowhere else to do it... even if there was, all the computers here are region 2 anyway. Sigh.

Just added a REALLY long survey to this page, in the 'random' section... C, I got it from one of your friends' LiveJournals...

Boswell (CII) starts tomorrow! Hard to believe that after that I'll be fluent, or supposed to be. Staatsexamen op 5 en 6 maart 2004!!! Yikes!!!
