Hello Everyone,
Time for a fun post. No business, just some stuff about me and my vacation plans, and how they fit into life before England.
The 13th of July is my official last day at the Albert Heijn, my supermarket job, from then on I have some time for myself and to make some last arrangements.
The 27th of July my friends and I are leaving to spend a week in Valencia, Spain. We'll relax, get our tan on, and catch up, since we hardly see eachother during the school year. We're with a group of 9 girls, so yes there might be some differences but we are really tight and I genuinly trust them with all my secrets and my life. Really looking forward to that week. Looking forward to it A LOT! I'll miss my parents when in Liverpool, but these girls, I think I'll miss them just as much as my parents. I hope some of them will come to visit and otherwise I will try and skype them to death. (Not literally)
After that it is 1 month and counting before going to Liverpool. I hope to be able to spend atleast 3 days with my boyfriend somewhere cozy and together. So far we haven't had one vacation together where we did not go to a zoo. We've been talking about going to Antwerper Zoo, Belgium for a while because it is a really big zoo and it is not too expensive to get there from where we live. Plus he was last there when he was very little and I have never been there, so it is a small adventure on its own. We might go there, if finances allow it, or we might just visit a bunch of zoo's in the Netherlands, there are plenty we have not seen yet. He will come to visit me in Liverpool, whether he likes it or not, AND i will skype him a lot. I'll miss him to pieces but it is "only" 5 months, it's not the end of the world. It might be difficult but I know we can do this!
Then right before the semester starts I will travel to Liverpool with my parents, and they are going to help me get set up for 3 days, Now I see them every weekend, therefore, in the beginning it might be difficult to not see them at all for a while, they are already planning a trip to come visit me for my birthday, YAY. I know i can call them always and of course I will miss them but they know, and i know that this is a chance of a lifetime.
When they are gone I hop on a train and I'm off to see the beautiful places of England. This I won't be doing solo, no no, I will join my friend Gijs, who will be studying in Newcastle the same semester, on this trip. This will be from the 7th of september until the 13th, then we'll both go to our universities and get ready for orientation week. We'll see eachother throughout the semester, probably, Another friend of ours, Sjoerd, will be studying in Edinburgh that semester, So we'll have plenty of trips to make as you can imagine.
Excitement all around this summer as you can read, much to see and more to do. My summer vacation officially started today, as i received my final grade yesterday. Too bad the weather is letting me down but I don't need good weather to watch the Netherlands kick those aussies asses tonight.
Thanks for reading.
Bye
