New days

Today, we woke up earlier, because Ben wanted to try a different line on the lightrail. It worked, and we met some people from the cast on the rail, so that's pretty cool.

Today's day (after morning meeting);
- We had a "workshop" about "barcodes" which was about stereotypes and all that. Really cool to hear that almost everyone thinks about The Netherlands, like; "Sex", "Marihuana", "Hookers" and that kind of stuff. Tulps, wooden shoes and windmills were less populair choices! Really interesting.
- After that, we were told things about how to hold a journal, blog, make pictures about your journey and everything else that is used to memorize your trip. Really usefull and it gave me some cool ideas. Even some things that I can use to spice up this boring blog.
- Lunch,
- Then, our first Chorus meeting. Meaning: everyone was divided in groups (soprano, alto, tenor and bariton-base) (I was the latter). We learned 2 songs completely and one song halfway (I think).
- After a fifteen minute break we got to do dancing again, which was pretty easy and cool today, since it was almost only "freestyle". 3 new dances completed today! Yeah, we're rollin' baby!
- Some people (including me) were taken out of the dancing session to go to the basement. We had our first band-meeting there, but we didn't play yet.
- We were done.

- We had a lot of fun on the lightrail today, since, like, 11 students were all going on the same train. It was so funny, making irritating noises and stuff.
- We ate pizza today
- I need shaving cream and a razor.

- I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

- I uploaded all my pics to facebook.

Hi dear urre,
it is a quarter past 2 in the night and we arrived home safely. we (pake and beppe as well!) had difficulties to open the links in your today's message, but your dad succeeded to open them. GREAT! I was very pleased to see and hear the dutch performance on culture jam. Pity you did not take more items for the jam with you. I am SO HAPPY to read about your UWP-time and your enthousiasm. Experience of a lifetime, dear F. Enjoy your stay overthere and greetings to your friends and host family. Mama Lien

After you shaved your beard, you go to the barbershop(A)? Maby you can get this 'barbapapacoupe' (bald) hahaha

well, right now I finished reading your blog. You know, sietse en lien are almost flipping when you are online on MSN. And me, I hope you have this killertime. Sorry if I react a little bit late, but in STMzee our travianmasters were using the internetthingie all the time, so i never got the chance to take a good look to your blog.
I'm so happy to hear that you are happy:). It makes it a lot easier not missing you, doing 'buissy' stuff at home ;). When you are happy, I am happy too.
I'm also sorry to hear that you had to do this fitness stuff for so long. I almost cried! hahaha no just kidding.
Tomorrow aunt Annet will come to pake en beppe with Sep en Lulu, and also Ileen will come. I'm definately sure they all miss your present, but I'm also sure they are so exciting to know your doing a great job!
Go freekie, go freekie, go freekie.

Maby I'll see you soon (on webcam or something)!
OOXXOOxXxoOooxXx (Nacho Libre;) )
