Good day.

Good day everyone! How are you doing? I am doing quite excellent actually. School this week has been okay so far, after a lovely week of vacation. But now the hard work starts again. In 6 weeks is already the next test week, ridiculous! And I already have to start studying.. Great.
But today is a good day. I had a short day of school and was home super early, which meant I had time to watch the brand new Pretty Littly Liars episode that came out yesterday. Amazing show! Absolutely love it, the mysteries, the story line, everything!

Also, today I have piano lessons again. I have lessons once every two weeks. Not very often, but it's enough. Right now I am learning how to play Don't You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds.
And before you ask, I already knew the song before it was in Pitch Perfect --'
Really love the song! Go and listen to it! I am sure you'll like it. Or maybe not. What do I know? (:

But before piano lessons, me and my family are going to the church, where there is a HUGE dinner for everyone from our church who wants to come. So excited! It's gonna be amazing! They organize this huge dinner normally once or twice a year. It's always really nice just talking to people who you normally don't talk to that often, and the food is great (:

But I really have to practice piano before I go to work, so I'm off! I'll leave you with a very chill song I personally really like.

Wrapping gifts

Since it's holiday season practically all I'm doing right now is wrapping gifts. Well maybe I'm exaggerating just a bit haha. But tomorrow it's Sinterklaas! I didn't think too much about it since I have to much (school)work to do. So of course I am wrapping all of my presents at the very last moment. Typical me. I should really start doing stuff on time. But my surprise is already done, so that's at least one thing.

Tomorrow I'll be celebrate Sinterklaas twice. I'll be celebrating with my grandparents and all of my nieces and nephews and my brothers and sisters. No parents allowed haha. We'll eat dinner together, and open the presents together and it's always so much fun. Normally on December 5th there is school until 1PM and after that we're free to go. But this year I'll be stuck at school until 4PM. Great. Thanks, school. But I won't let that ruin my day. I bought some presents for my grandparents also. For grandma I bought choclates, since she loves those but never buys them for herself, and for my grandpa I bought nougat. He loves that so much, but same story as with grandma, he never buys it for himself. So I did it for them (:

In the evening, we'll celebrate with my family. Just me, my parents and my brothers and sisters. Since we don't have too much time and my youngest brother and sister have to go to bed early, we won't celebrate very extensive. My parents told me they didn't want to get any presents this year, but I think it's kinda lame to actually not give them anything. So for my father I bought aftershave and for my mom I got a cooking book with all kinds of Italian recipes. I think she an my dad will really like that cooking book, since we went to Rome, Italy last summer they like Italian food even more than they did before!
Also I have piano lessens, tomorrow evening. Great timing isn't it? But I really love my piano lessons so I don't mind. I have been taking lessons for probably about 3 monts now and I really really love it. Playing the piano (or in my case keyboard) is something I've wanted to do since I was 10 years old, but for some reason it never came to it. (Is that proper English? Please correct me if I'm wrong!) And last year, for my 15th birthday my parents paid a part of my keyboard, as a birthday present. I was so happy with it and I was determined to teach myself a lot before I would take lessons. But chaotic as I am, it didn't work out very well. I tought myself some of the basics but not enough to play actual songs. So since the start of this school year I am taking lessons. I have the most amazing teacher. He's very funny and a real good teacher, perfect!

So tomorrow I'm wearing my new red sweater! I posted a picture of it last week. I decided that that would be my cozy holiday sweater (: I'm paring it with some dark washed jeans and my beloved Timberlands.

Alright, gotta go now. Wrapping up the last gifts for tomorrow.

Days left til Sinterklaas: 1 (YEAAAAAAAH)
