Got money transferred after much internetz drama here. i don't have the most reliable access and so I had R jump into my email and finish the transfer. Kind of weird but it worked.

Then I go to the ATM and forget my pin number. several times. Then forget that I am taking out euro, not canadian....sigh...i need a fucking helper monkey.

Anyway, grabbed some ground coffee and coffiemelk ( it comes in wee cute bottles), some snacks, ( snoep) and drinkable yogurt,of which is mad abundant here, no wee bottles of expensive yop. Dairy here, yogurt, cheese, vla, ( pudding) is consumed in abundance. I come by my dairyfiendness, honestly.

WHich is kind of why the dutch are apparently clocking in at the tallest average in the world and HOLY CARP have I seen some tall people here. My fam doesn't entirely possess the tall gene, so hey, short I am. ( pretty average I am.)

Feeling better, slogging through homework. I am sort of avoiding Oma on this side because I cannot FUCKING undertstand a word she says and it drives me crazy. I have a hard time with old ladies voices, they're freaking difficult to understand here.

And I've been feeling a bit burned out/antisocial. Tomorrow tho, i'll probably do some museum seeing here.



I can see the US now has zero unemployment, since they've turned their sights to anti gay, anti women rights legislation. They must have also cured illness and death completely, since they're throwing away medicare, and no one's poor anymore...Clearly. *Snerk* what the fuck.

Gonna try to finish this worksheet, and then have a short nap, and then tackle some of the written exercises. Half the trouble with getting fam to talk to me is having them understand what level of dutch I'm AT, and they're often talking way above my level. Argggh. But shop keepers, and transit and shopping, I can pretty much function.

( i might also be tired because I think I'm not actually eating enough. My appetite's way off from what I had in canada, and while I love the weight loss, I should eat more.

Tuesday class day #4. I think...I may go to the van gogh, and wednesday in early to either the anne frank or do the trip to keukenhof.

Week 4: museums in amsterdam, the zoo.
Week 5: Rotterdam and utrecht
week 6: London,
week 7: More amsterdam, and Den Haag
week 8: last of amsterdam, shopping.
Week 9: shopping week to get gifts and books for home.

class 10: class, leave very next day.
