(unlikely dreams)

donderdag 13 november 2003

It can't be the flu - you don't get over that this fast, do you? I made it to school (where I still am) - on my bike, no less - and although I don't feel 100% by any means, I'm nowhere near like I was last night or this morning...

I just sent back my course registration form for the 3rd and 4th blocks, and I'm really happy with what I've got (or hope I've got). Third block is Dutch Present-Day Society, with Emmeline, whom everyone keeps telling me is really good (I tried to get that class first block, but there was a conflict.) Then I also have a class taught in Dutch (gulp) - and guess what it is? Translating from Dutch to English and back again. If I do go on to do something with interpreting, this is a good start. So that block is just awesome and I can't wait. The fourth block is a little less nice but still good - Utrecht In The Middle Ages and then another class taught in Dutch - Children's Literature. Since Boswell will be over, I have to take more university courses than I have been in order to ensure I get enough UF credit, so that's why I get all these cool things now. I hope the taught-in-Dutch thing works out...

And - I bid on the Elton tickets. Minimum bid, 160 euro, and I'm absolutely not going any higher even if I get outbid. But I had to try for it.

Starving and headachy - time to go home.
