Princess Juliana is dead... hmm, there's a lot happening with the royal family during my year here... a new baby, then the ex-Queen dying...

Anyway, I'm on Lotte's computer and I only have a few minutes, but I wanted to update... fun weekend so far:

Lotte and Martin came and had dinner with me on Thursday and they both liked my macaroni and cheese, hahaha, imagine that... shrimp and salad and Vienetta ice cream rounded it out. :) Then we watched GTST and talked for a while, and then Lotte went home. The next morning Martin went back to Emmen and I went to class, then to Doetinchem to give Wim his lesson. He's really doing SO MUCH BETTER than before... it's cool to see progress.

Anyway, so then Lotte's mom picked me up, since Lotte herself was still in Utrecht working, and we went back to her house and then L turned up later and we all ate dinner and watched, what else, GTST. We were having dessert when suddenly we heard the strains of the music from the TV, so Lotte leaped up from her chair, "Oh!" Like dominos, her mother also leaped up, "Oh!" And then of course I leaped up too, and the three of us went charging into the other room, while her father (not a GTST fan) laughed until his face turned red.

So then I got to lie on Lotte's tanning bed - cooool :) - and then later we went out and before we went to the club she let me drive her car around the parking lot. It's a stick-shift so I wanted to practice. I never left first gear, but did a lot of stopping and starting. Only popped the clutch two or three times. But when we switched places again, Lotte realized the emergency brake had been on the whole time! LOL! The whole car smelled like burning rubber...

Anyway, so the club (Havana) was nice for a while, but then it got simply TOO BUSY and it wasn't fun anymore. So we left and got home around 1.00, laid in bed talking for a while, then fell asleep. Lotte had to get up early and go to work again, and I woke up for approximately five seconds when her alarm went off, then fell asleep again and slept until 12.15. Finally, some real sleep... mmm...

So then I woke up and came downstairs and had breakfast and talked to her mom, and now her brother is here too and we're all getting ready to go into the city, so I've gotta go... Lotte and I are going to Nijmegen tonight to some club, the Matrixx, and then tomorrow I'll be coming home.

But anyway, I'm not dead. Catie, what did you need to talk to me about? I won't be on MSN until tomorrow night when I get home. (And I want to see my icon!!! LOL!)

Ta ta...
