Test day, Jean Paul Gaultier and new course

Uhoh, it’s been a while since my last post (again)! But life has been busy, and there was no way I could have squeezed it in!  Ok, maybe that’s a lie, but still, there was little time with the test day, fashion exhibition, my dad coming home on sunday from Santiago de Querétaro (somewhere in Mexico) and the starting of a new course (today!). The test day was scheduled for Thursday, and went completely chaotic, as usual. No matter how much I plan things ahead, something always seems to spoil my preparations. But at least now I saw it coming (sort of) and was able to avoid any major collateral damage. My feet were killing me though, and I was happy to ride on Maestro (such a sweet little mare!) on Friday night, instead of one of the slow horses, or else I don’t think I could have made it to the end of the hour. 

On Saturday I had a long overdue reunion with the girls, as we went to the fashion exhibition of Jean Paul Gaultier in the Kunsthal in Rotterdam (check out the website!). Which was awesome! God, I love his work! His dresses and corsets are soooo amazingly pretty (and sometimes a bit daring, even for the red light district!). I’m in love with anything nautical, so his work is right up my alley. The whole trip was a bit challenging though, because one of my friends decided to rent a wheelchair, which we could barely maneuver through the halls. It was absolutely hilarious! Although we had great fun, I do hope her knees will be better next time, because I don’t think the other visitors could appreciate our clumsiness.

Watch an interview with the Master here:

After the boost of fashion and glamour, we were totally inspired to do some heavy shopping at Primark. But I restrained myself! I only spend 27euros, which is pretty good considering I bought 6 items. Pfff, I find it so hard to save my money for the summer holiday! I did fail two weeks ago (or was it three?) by buying a pair of awesome black biker boots (only 30euro!) but it has got to stop! Did I mention I’ve seen the most awesome watch on ebay? Ow dear, not again… Luckily, I’ve started a new course today, so the coming two weeks will be totally packed with lectures and preparing for the presentation AND test. So no time to shop there. But why did they have to do both? Wasn’t one enough?! And did I mention the exam is scheduled for next Tuesday? That’s in 8 days! Fortunately, I’ve teamed up with a couple of good friends for the presentation part, so that should be a breeze... I hope... ;)

p.s. The Laboratory Animal Science exam was hard! As I suspected... I'm really nervous about the results, fingers crossed!
