May 1. 5 weeks till I head home. One week is spent in london, may 11-15th (returning to NL on the 16th) and one week at the end will be a crazy "shop and finish seeing all the things!" week, one weekend ( a friday/sat) in utrecht, and a day in rotterdam, and one in den haag.

So its going to whip by, because i had more plans for this month and I'm not sure where april went at ALL.

I was going to go in to AMS tomorrow but trying to minimize my train travel to stretch my OV chipkaart as much as possible, I'm in for class on tuesday, so I think rijksmuseum it is, and friday I'll go in a bit early and see something else, before hopping the train to Utrecht, rather than spend another 7.50 euro on a round trip.

I want to go back to the Teyler here, and Het Dolhuys and the Molen Adriaan are here too, so between all of it, I still have plenty to occupy my time.

My throat and sinuses are dry and raw, the wind has been blowing and its hot and dry, and its making me fairly miserable. It hasn't rained much.

dutch people on twitter are poking the resident racist politician kook for mis spelling his dutch tweets, and asking if he needs a newcomer's integration course. heee. Most people seem to think he's just a rude barmy fuckwit. I suppose his supporters are much a minority. ( hope so.)

anyway. Think I might get food and get studying, and monday, we'll see what adventure awaits.

37 days left. I remember being in Bemmel and thinking 70 days was a never ending number. But I am glad I did this trip, tho as frustrating and challenging as I never quite expected, its been...good. really good.

I will kind of think I always have a home here, and its more or less true.

I swear I'm not insane. I'm just low on patience today and recently, what with struggling with second language issues of my own, AND the very abysmal english of my family, so I'm constantly translating in my head. for them, AND for me.

And, well, OCAD are pigfuckers.

And my internet connection here times out more than it loads, so I wind up having to refresh/reload a page at least 10 times before I get half the page at best.

I don't need constant access, but I'd like a little, yanno?

So I love cashews. But they're hella expensive ( yes i said hella) in canada, and I don't eat them often.

A couple weeks ago I had a huge bag here, and snorfed em. 2 euro for a huge bag. Rawk.

Except thereafter I was achy, throat raw.

Ok.

Didn't think much of it, till I got into a new bag last night and again woke with the achy itchy throat and achy body sickness.

Hmmmmm

Go thru the day feeling like hammered death.

And "hey, uh, could it be the cashews?" why it might be?

So I've loaded up on benadryl and I don't think I'm in danger of dying of anaphylaxis but y'know...I think I'll just stay away from cashews.
