A short update


Time to update.
I realise I have not posted in a couple of days. But I have no idea how many people read my blog and how often. So I don't know who is out there pining to read some news about Fleur. You can of course always send me an email if you've got the addres. I guess that is really the best way to keep updated, because I try to send a message back almost immediately after I have read one.
I have been to the Belle and Sebastian concert on monday. It was probably the best gig I have ever been to. I was kind of sad to be there alone, but hearing them play was so overwhelming. Thankfully they did not play all new songs but also loads of old ones. You now how you can't have it all when a band has like five albums out. But (and this is for the fans) they played songs like 'me and the major', 'the state that I am in' and 'La pastie de la bourgeoisie'. The best of it all was when they played ' The loneliness of a middle distance runner', it was so beautiful, there are no words for it, I cried a little. I did really, there I was 23 years old, crying at a gig over a song.
No more tears now though. Not much has changed in my student situation. It is still unclear in which department I am in exactly. And now I've been told to try and contact the different teachers of the classes I want to take to ask whether I they'll allow me to take their class. I could become an Erasmus coordinator myself after having been here! That would be an interesting new future career move ;)
I met some more Dutch people yesterday. Did I actually mention the first Dutch person already? She was at the orientation days. But yesterday I was at this market thing buying some posters for my room (which reminds me, I still need to post pictures of it). Suddenly I heard a girl speak and somewhere in the back of my mind a switch got activated. It took me a few more seconds of listening to figure out that there was three people standing next to me speaking Dutch. It was funny how strange it felt to be speaking Dutch in this English environment. But they were not that interesting (all studying buisness or something like that). I hope they'll never read this though, don't think they'll appreciate me calling them not interesting.
