Evening powerwalk

I felt so bad for sitting inside my room all day so I went out for a 60 min powerwalk through The Hague. I walked almost all the way to Scheveningen, with some detours though. Feels good! Powerwalking is really good when you have a lot on your mind. I thought for example a lot about the exchange to Liverpool. I still don't really know what to do about that though...

Oh well, I will decide that later. I took some photos of The Hague at night on my walk:

If anyone ever feels like buying an apartment for me, HERE is where I want to live! Waldeck Pyrmontkade, so lovely houses. 

President Kennedylaan. I saw the Swedish flag about 3-4 along the street.

Walked past the Peace Palace where it stood in all its glory. 

Exam preparation week

Next week is exam week and this is week is full of resits. Fortunately I don't have any so I can use this week for preparing (and enjoying the nice sunny weather outside). On today's list is Project Management, Dutch, and maybe some Media Theory. I might just leave that until tomorrow though. I've heard that procrastinating the most boring subject is underestimated. Actually, when it comes to exam prep in general I'm a bit of an expert in procrastinating. For example, I found myself cleaning this morning just to not get started with the studying. Then you know it's pretty bad. Okay, deep breath, here we go...

St. Patrick and Grumpy George

Last night St. Patrick's Day was celebrated not by going out, but by having drinks and girl talk at a friend's place. It was really nice, and I saw her new cat for the first time. His name is George.

George is 13 years old, and is exactly like a grumpy, bitter old man. He's a tad overweight and doesn't really miauw like normal cats, but more like he's saying "hey bitch, stroke me!". He's really not nice or well-mannered in any way, but he's still kind of cute. I petted him the whole time, and as soon as I stopped he looked at me with his mean eyes as if to tell me to continue. He really liked my jacket too, and slept on it the whole evening. Amazing how you can feel so used by a cat...

Liverpool exchange

So, happy St. Patrick's Day people! Today I will probably celebrate it at some Irish pub, maybe at Fiddler's. I'm sure it will be a lot of fun! I got a letter from the university today, it was the nomination letter for the exchange. I'm apparently going to Liverpool the second semester of year 2! Could be a lot of fun I think. Now I'm gonna google the crap out of the city and the university, I actually have no idea where I'm going. Does anyone of you have any experience with Liverpool?

Crazy Pianos

Last night I went out in Scheveningen, at Crazy Pianos. I've never been there before but I've heard a lot of good things about it, and it was actually very nice. They always have live music so it's a really nice atmosphere there. Today I have two classes, and then I'm gonna go home and take a power nap. Not that it got that late last night, I'm just very sensitive to not getting my 8 hours of sleep. Anyway, tomorrow is the St. Patrick's Day parade in The Hague! Will I see you there?

Summer in March

Sunshine, finally! The Hague has been struck by some kind of premature summer weather today, it's 17 degrees and sunny! I just came home from having a debate class, but it feels like such a waste to sit inside by the computer today. I want to go out and do something! Any ideas?

SUN!

Insane efficiency

Wow, what a day. I just came home and now I'm eating some kind of improvised dinner. We worked on the project today until 20.30 in school, and afterwards we went to Plein to have a well-deserved, celebratory drink. We finished basically all the graphics, the concept and the brand key. Way to go girls! However, towards the end we got so tired and hungry that everything just seemed funny, hence the picture below... Now I'm going to bed, see you guys on the other side!

Cheers to a job well done!
