Four/three positive things!

This is not going to be a whiny post! No, this one is actually going to be positive. I got four good things I want to write about and the first thing is that exam week is finally over! My last test was on last Friday and I am so happy it is over! I started learning two weeks before the exam week even started, and I have to tell you, it was exhausting. Since I have ADHD I have problem concentrating for longer that an half an hour straight, but I had to. And I did. For two weeks I did nothing else than studying, and it made me crazy. As soon as the actual exam week started, I was feeling kind of depressed, because I hadn't done much entertaining for me for two weeks. But I pushed myself further and further and I managed it somehow. Now that this week is over, and I got all my notes back, I see that all that work has not been for nothing. Except for one note (a 6.6), I got nothing below 7.1 and four of my notes are an 8 or higher. I think I may say that I can be proud of myself. I am very happy that I have no deadlines or stress for school. Summer holiday is now real close. I have to survive this week (a horrible week though) and after this week I can finally enjoy summer holiday. The only thing I have to do is return my books and then this school year is officially over.

The second good thing is that I now got a job. Two times a week I have to deliver post. I already told you that, but I am just so happy with it! After I am done tomorrow, I will get 42 euro already. And this work is not even that exhausting. On Mondays I do one hour of sorting the mail out, and on Tuesdays I need only around one hour to deliver them all. I get paid around 8.50 an hour! That is almost twice as much as most of my friends get paid. I have seriously NO regrets for applying for this job! There's nothing wrong with doing four hours of work during summer holiday, I probably will not have something better to do all day long, so why not making myself useful? I really hope I can stay after summer holiday. Because this is only a job for the holiday, but I hope that they won't fire me. They need someone for this district, so if I will do my best, why would they fire me? Let's hope for the best!

The third thing I am happy about is that I lost weight. I have been 'dieting' for a month now, but I only have been doing it rather seriously for a week now and it worked out already. Even though I went out eating two times this week, and one other time has yet to come, I lost around 2.5 kilos. I don't eat any chips or other kinds of sweats any more, and I started sporting a bit more, and I think I can see the difference already. I have three and a half weeks left before I go to Italy with my dad for a week, so if I can keep up the good work, I will be satisfied enough by then!

I actually forgot the last thing, so I cannot tell you, unfortunately, but maybe I will think of it later! This was just a little update, and for now, it is enough. I will take a shower now, and work some more on my photo album about my school trip to London from seven weeks ago, with my mum. Then I will probably eat something nice and then snuggle into my warm bed, hoping I will not fall asleep too soon, because I have to go back to school again tomorrow. A short day, fortunately, so I will survive!

Reunited!

Even though I really had the time of my life when I was in London, I really missed hanging out with my friends. I missed all of them. We hung out together after one, or even two, weeks and we had so much fun. Some of them came a bit later, and there were some alcoholic beverages, but I told myself not to drink (I did it anyway, but I didn't get drunk or even tipsy, so that's a good thing).

Two really good things happened yesterday as well. Two of my best friends have been into a fight since the beginning of December, last year, and they finally made up with each other.

And my best friend and another really good friend of mine kissed each other. Two boys, kissed, each other. That was like the highlight of the whole evening.

I can remember that I actually wanted to get tipsy (most of my friends were as well, so I wanted that as well) and that I drunk an amount of alcohol and started jogging around the neighbourhood with a good friend of mine.

Oh, and we were being followed by the police as well. In the beginning of the evening, some guys bought some bottles of alcoholic drinks and everyone tasted a bit of it. Apparently some strangers saw us with the bottles and called the police. By the time they arrived at the 'crime scene' some of us (including me) had left to get some snacks from the grocery store, a couple of streets away. In that time, a police officer undercover had come to see us, but I think that the person who called said that we were with seven people, and because four of us had left, they didn't know our friend had the opened bottles of alcohol.

As soon as we came back and heard the story, we split up into three groups and cycled our way to a safe place to drink. We've been there all night. Until someone left and went home. A couples of minutes after he had left, he called me, telling me that the cops were on their way to us. I thanked him and told the rest to move away quickly. And we did. We still had fun somewhere else, and I remember that lots of kisses where given and received by, let's say, everyone. Around 12 o' clock, I cycled home with two of my friends.

I had a wonderful night and I was glad to see my friends again. I missed them. I love them so much.
Anyway, I'm going to hit the sack now. School tomorrow and I am NOT looking forward to go to that horrific building again.

Good night!

Last day in London :(

Yesterday was the last day in london. We went to the Imperial War Museam and it was really interesting. They had things about the First Worldwar, the Second Worldwar, and wars after that. It was really dedicated and classified. The third floor was totally dedicated to the Holocaust, and that is were we (my two friends and I) spent the most of our time. We were not allowed to take pictures unfortunately. The experiece itself was very special and I'm glad that I've been there. There were a lot of books and letters from soldiers and prisonors. There were uniforms that the soldiers from countries all over the world that paticipated in the wars, but there were shoes and clothes the Jews wore during the Second Worldwar as well. It was actually rather emotional

We had to be back at half past eleven and we we got money to buy our lunch there. We got into the metro and traveled to Oxford Street, where we've been shopping from twelve o' clock until half past two. There is a Primark, and I bought high heels (which I'm very excited about the wear), some souvenirs and a bag for Mothersday.

Around three o' clock, we arrived back at our hostel. We packed our bags for the journey back home. In the evening, our group went the the musical of The Woman in Black. I didn't see the movie, nor I've read the book, but I know what it is about for a bit. The Woman in Black is a 'horror' movie, and I was curious how the actors would make it just as scary as the movie or the book.
But they did a really good job. I'm not going to spoil the plot, but the musical is really different from the movie. But it was really great! Believe me. At the beginning, it was actually rather funny, but it became scarier and scarier as the time past.

Right now I'm on the boat back to Holland. And the internet is really bad and slow, so I'm going top quit now and wait until I'm back home, behind my own PC wiht my, kind of quick internet!

Post from the boat

Hello there!

I am currently on the boat to London. There's is free wifi everywhere, and with that I also mean that I have free wifi in my bedroom, which is lovely because I can tweet, tumblr, and post blogposts from my bed (which is a dubble bed, and I sleep in it on my own). Which I'm probably going to do a lot, I'm sorry if I'm bothering you with my not reading-worth posts.

Anyway, I've made a lot of pictures already, but I'll make, like, one pots with a shitload of pictures from London.

It feels really weird, sitting behind a computer, at sea. I'll become seasick within half an hour if I'm not going out for some fresh air soon.

We haven't made our Titanic-like pictures yet, but we're going to so that soon.

Boat looks awesome, and the huts are also pretty good.

You'll here more from me, when I'll be in London!
