no winter extravaganza

Hello my dears! I apologise for the absolutely terrible lack of updates here.

What I've been up to in the past weeks:

- Studying for finals (what do you call them in English once you're at university?) like the nerd I am. I even get really stressed out by them, resulting in lack of sleep and loads of disgruntled behaviour

- Ploughing through a massive blanket of snow that, while making Amsterdam very pretty, is responsible for a crazy amount of delays in public transport, and making it fairly impossible to go anywhere by bicycle without slipping.

- Taking up the rather ambitious plan to start a blog with longer stories, in Dutch, which is not about style (shocking, yes)

- Finding that going to an Amsterdam club called the Melkweg ('the Milkyway') when it has a theme that, surprisingly, tells us to go ahead and 'Kill All Hipsters', is a very nice thing to do on a Saturday night.

- Eating inordinate amounts of chocolate (whether or not in liquid form), cookies, sandwiches, and many other things. Which is all good because it's nearly Christmas.

- Participating in the largest student demonstration that Amsterdam has seen since the 1970s. Pictures here. It was so very, very awesome.

- Spending faar too much time on Facebook.

What I have not been up to these past few weeks:

- Make blog photos.

- Put up a Christmas tree.

- Go to cool holiday parties that require me to wear sparkly dresses.


I'm so out of it! Anyway, expect improvement soon, as I have five WEEKS of Christmas holidays. FIVE. So I'll have no excuse for not making posts then :)

Wish me luck for my next few exams and see you soon!
