Back to School

Ugh~ so last week classes started at UvA. I only have 2 courses during Block 1 of the first semester, but they are both pretty intense :mad: The lectures are very interesting and pretty relaxed, the practicum classes are hard work and unfortunately very strict. Because I didn’t want to fail the two classes by missing 1 practicum class I decided to cancel my trip to Portugal :cry: My parents and my sister are still going, they all felt really sad about me not coming along. I felt really down about it too, but I just don’t have the time to sulk *sigh*

Yesterday I already had my first presentation and handed in my first short paper :shock: I’m glad I’ve finished that assignment before college gets seriously busy! Also the classes at Leiden University have started this week. This semester I only follow some management classes that I failed last year and I have to make a Japanese exam. I’ve been a real good girl and went to all the lectures even those at 9 a.m. - which meant I had to wake up at 6:30 a.m. :P I’m already in bed around 22 p.m. and I eat pretty healthy too! I need to get back in shape and stay that way pretty soon. The Intreeweek proved to be pretty hard on my health. I didn’t get enough sleep and didn’t eat well for a week and of course I caught a cold :(

The weather has been great the last couple of days. Very nice, but a little bit irritating when you’re walking around with a scarf and coughing all the time. Tomorrow the weather will again be very nice, so I’m thinking of shooting some photos of Amsterdam. Like almost every big city Amsterdam is beautiful and ugly (or is it dirty?) at the same time :) But I just want some sunny pictures of Amsterdam now that I won’t be going to Portugal :D Ohh~ I said I didn’t have time to sulk about it eeey. Right, it’s back to the books for me. Hope to get back to you all later with some sunny pics :mrgreen:
