zaterdag 14 februari 2004

I'm turning into a creature of the night... it's almost 2 AM and I'm still awake. Oh well. Anyway, so tomorrow I'm going to sleep late and then try once again to go see Peter's new house. (It feels so weird to use full names... I always use initials when writing, even with, like, diary entries...) Anyway, so I have to get the train to Duivendrecht so he can pick me up on the way back from work. So that's tomorrow's amusement and then Monday I have class again. Dutch Present-Day Society. Our teacher talks in such a weird way... she's Dutch, of course, and speaks British-sounding English, but with an American 'R'... very exaggerated. So you think, okay, it's not her first language... but then her Dutch is just as weird! She has the hardest 'G' of anyone I've ever heard. She keeps telling us that it's because she's from the North, but it's still weird... she chokes on the word 'gezellig' ("ggggezelligggg") like it's a hairball, LOL! I like her - she's very nice, and knows what she's talking about - but her manner of speaking is still very... unusual.

Thanks for the V-day e-card, Paul... you were the only one... HINT HINT... haha. :)

Anyway, Tristan is hard at work on his website, and says he'll probably post it tomorrow. I was just asked to write a "200-word essay" about myself so he can put it there... and a picture... I'm gonna be famous, LOL! (T, we need to have Camera Day sometime soon... and Fondue Day... LOL! Enne... je hebt me net 'schat' genoemd... die vind ik ook leuk :) ... maar je moet een beslissing nemen: ben ik 'lekker ding', 'schat', of 'lazy butt'? Of alledrie? LOL!) ...Sorry, it's late and I'm talking $#!@, haha.

Anyway, it's probably time to go to bed, otherwise I'm going to start eating again. :) Talk to you guys tomorrow.

P.S. Lise, I just happened to think - did we have homework? (I vaguely remember copying down website addys?? What was that for?) Leave a comment if we have to actually do something... LOL...
