Rainy Monday

I had two classes today, which seem like a blur at this point. I guess that's what happens when each of your classes is about 3 hours. Today was a good food day, though. I have absolutely no groceries left so I couldn't even have breakfast at home, leading me to try the coffee place around the corner. When I walked in the cashier was talking to some dude, so I waited a bit and after he left, he told me that the dude was some famous Dutch actor. Apparently there are a whole bunch of them that just walk around here, who knew? I don't remember his name, all I do know is I spent 20 minutes talking to the cashier/barrista while drinking my cappuccino and eating my croissant, which lead me to be late for class. He was nice, and in addition to his coffee skills he's also a flight attendant and enjoys listening to Katy Perry. Oh the Dutch. In between my two classes, I went to the sandwich shop which is two doors down the coffee place and had an amazing sandwich. Everything they have there is homemade (homemade hummus!) and I had a grilled veggie sandwich with artichokes and some special hummus (I highly recommend it). After class a couple of my friends and I had a potluck, which took place at their dorm at Prisengracht, and it was really great. We got into this heated discussion about music, specifically classic rock. My friend Jeremey claims Queen's sound is "too clean" but I think he'll come around with enough exposure. I went back home alone, which wasn't all that great. It was raining/hailing and I was sent off into the wrong direction which made it a good 20 minute ride, but the shower afterward was a great payoff. Christ, class at 10 and I haven't finished all the reading for it I've just discovered.

  1. Marianna, you've made me hungry, and I'm reading this as I'm eating breakfast. This blog is like my morning paper. Write on, chap! (I realize that's more English than Dutch but, whatevs.)
