Oh the weather outside is frightful...

This past weekend there was REAL snow in The Netherlands! Yay for snow! Well, it depends on it actually. When you have to cycle to school snow is terrible! It's freezing cold, snow blowing in your face, almost falling the entire time and slipping around. Ugh. Don't get me started on it. But last friday the weather man said the weather was going to be terrible so I went to school with the bus. Ghehe. I cheated, but hey, at least I wasn't late for class and freezing cold.

Because it was snowing so hard that day, around twelve o'clock they told us we could go home, because else the buses wouldn't drive anymore. Yeah! Thanks school! But because we were celebrating Sinterklaas that evening we had to get to my friend's house, which is about 20 km from my school away, so the plan was to walk to the train station and just take the train. BUT, there were hardly any driving buses left so we ran to the nearest bus stop and we could take the bus to the train station. And when we came there someone announced that the train we were about to take was the last train. How lucky we were!

After we arrived at the station in her town we had to walk to her home, and there was about a 20 cm thick layer of snow on the ground, and it was just 1.30PM. Luckily I was wearing my snowboots so I didn't mind haha. When we arrived at her place we did nothing special. We just lip synched to stupid and silly songs and recorded ourselves on the iMac, it was a LOT of fun haha.

We ate some delicious soup and after that we went to the library, where my friend works. So the four of us went to the library where us three waited for her until she finished her work. And when we got home again it was of course time for SINTERKLAAS! It was so much fun and we had a great time! My surprise was the statue of Lady Liberty, made out of a coca cola bottle. How awesome!! I absolutely loved it! A picture of it I will post later on this week. (:

We stayed there for the night and had a nice sleep over. The next day my grandparents picked me up and we went to the local fabric store, where I got fabric for a new pair of pants I'm going to make in the Christmas vacation, which starts in two weeks. Ah, so excited to make it and wear it! It's a warm green color, and it's going to be a baggy and cozy pair of lounge pants.

When we got home the sun was already setting and the sight was absolutely beautiful! Here is a picture. Note: this snow was about 48 hours old and it was already a bit melting.

And Saturday night I went babysitting with my lovely friend Nathalie, and we give each other traditionally a Sinterklaas present. This year she gave me the book The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. AAAAAAAHHH Thank you SO SO SO much Nathalie! I absolutely love it!
I had an amazing weekend, and it was a lot of fun. I am very grateful for the presents I got.

Days left til Christmas: 15
