Zondag!!!
You know what they say about time when you are having fun..... I haven't even had time to write on my blog!!! so I sit here on Sunday afternoon/evening and I am studying Dutch and I decide I need a break... Blog time!! So nothing too exciting to tell about. I had classes this week and did the school thing. I have decided that I am really glad that I live close to school becasue I don't think I would make it if I had a long bike ride to and from school. Classes went well I think I am going to like my classes. One of my classes only has five people in it so it will be interesting to see how that goes. It feels like I am not really in classes yet because there isn't that much homework....(there is some and I have been putting that off but it is still a lot less then I am use to) On Woensdag (Wednesday) I went to a Bible study that is put on by a bunch of Dutch students. It was interesting. They are doing the Alpha course so we first ate together and then one of the students did an introduction to the topic (we had a translator ..... which is nice because when we go to church we don't have one and it is really hard to not have that spiritual feeding each week) We broke into small groups (my group consisted of the 6 N-SPICERS that I had come with because we were in the English group!!) We had two Dutch students as leaders/guiders ... so pretty much we just had a really good conversation and discussed what we had heard. That was probably one of the highlights of the week.
On Saturday two of my friends and I decided that we wanted to explore around this area. We biked around and went to Hattem (a town nearby) we took the scenic rout and by the time I got home I was soooooo tired. Biking takes it out of you big time!! All we did was bike there and then shop and then biked back (it took us like an hour to get there and probably 40 min to get back... so our way wasn't the most direct ...... oh... have I ever mentioned that I HATE hills??? They are killer!!!!!!! Bridges too)
On Friday we got the schedule for the whole semester and I am sooo excited about all the places that we are going to see. In two weeks we are going to Prague and Berlin for the whole week we will be gone. I have been trying to figure out where I am going to go on the weekends .... so many places to see and so little time... my weekends are filling up fast I hope I can see at least a fourth of what I want to see!
Well I guess I should get back to the Dutch.... Tot strats
