Happee Birthday Dad.

 

Today, Sunday June 2nd, is NOT my dad's birthday. It is tomorrow actually. But we're celebrating today for friends and family, and the weather just happens to be perfect. (:
The sun is shining, there are birds in the garden, waiting for us to leave our food and then steal is from us, and everyone is happy. I love these days. And about time too! It is officially summer in only 19 days, and we haven't had such a cold spring in about 40 years I believe, here in our little county.

And I finished Looking for Alaska, by John Green. Finally. Didn't read much last week, but since the weather was so nice, I decided to take my book outside and finish it in the sun.
I REALLY liked it. Didn't know what to expect, and since the book is from a boy's POV, there's a lot of 'girl reviewing' in the book. But it was very nicely written, and a lot of great philosophy is in it. I would definetely recommend it!

Now it is time for me to start studying for my Cambridge exam, which means even MORE reading haha. Gonna start reading 'The Lighthouse' by P.D. James tonight! I promise. I think..

PS; noticed my Harry Potter reference in the post? If you do, I love you! Oh well, I already gave it away with the pic. Nah. (:

Spring, where did you go?

Ugh. And the rain is back again here in Holland. How great. It's been raining almost non stop the past couple of days. And it's been cold too! Just rain; fine with me, but it is the cold that's killing me. Last week we were tricked into believing spring was finally coming up. Too bad...

Well, the weather may be terrible when you have to bike to school every day, but when it's late at night and you have a warm cup of tea and a good book, it's lovely. So that's what I'm about to do now! Just grabbing a new book (probably gonna read The Fault in Our Stars or Looking for Alaska) and making a hot cup of cherry tea. Have a lovely evening!

Cozy Sweaters

Monday. It was COLD today! This morning when I walked outside I decided it was finally time to pull my self made beanie out of my closet and wear it. And that was a good decision I made. It was very windy, and I had to cycle upwind this morning. But I survived!
School was school, nothing interesting. Actually I have nothing to blog about today... Oh wait, maybe I have. Last saturday I went to Utrecht, to an 'open day' of the Utrecht University. You could visit classes to get a better look of how university works, and professors explaned a lot about all the studies you can attend there. The program took almost the entire day, but it was a very fun and instructive experience. While we were walking back to the train station, I convinced my dad to go shopping with me. I bought a very nice and warm sweater, since I didn't really have any warm clothing for the winter, but when I came home I found out that it wasn't long sleeve! It was about three quarters sleeve. Oops. Maybe I should have tried it on. But no, I was perky and didn't want to. Well here's the result, a sweater with way too short sleeves. So after school I went to the mall to return the sweater, when two adorable sweaters caught my eye. I had been looking FOREVER for a vintage, knitted sweater. But of course, I couldn't decide. It's a horrible habit, I know, but I just can't decide easily. The first one is light brown, with small dark red stripes, and the other one is red with very cheerful pattern. I am in love with the 80's, and retro and vintage stuff, so of course I want to dress like they did in the 80's. I immediately fell in love, and bought them. (And this time, I did try them on haha). I'll maybe take a picture of them tomorrow and post it in this blogpost.
So, this is my story of the day. Not very interesting, but that's all I have to tell for today.
