Countdown

I can’t take it anymore! Only 9 more days (or 8 nights) to go until France and I’m counting every minute. I haven’t posted anything lately because I’ve be so busy with those God awful statistics that I couldn’t find the energy to drag myself to the computer and write a post. Not that it would’ve been interesting, since all I’ve been doing are stupid ANOVAs, Pearson correlations and T-tests… But today, after a good long sleep, I thought it would be time to let the world know I’m not completely dead. I’m still here, just swamping in work. But as long as I keep my eye on the prize I’m sure I can make it another week. Which isn’t even a full week with Queens day turned Coronation day on Tuesday the 30^th. I’m so excited for the coronation of Willem Alexander (and of course the dress of Máxima)! Dutchies everywhere all over the world are going to celebrate their ass off! :D The government has advised people not to go to Amsterdam because they fear the city is going to be jammed with people. Is that going to stop us? No, of course not. But I think I’ll stick to Utrecht, that’s busy enough as it is (I probably wouldn’t last a minute in Amsterdam). I love how they let the flea market go on until late at night, because it’s a lot less crowded and the temperature isn’t as high. I really believe there is some kind of magic spell on Queens day: it can poor with rain the days before, but it’s always (well, almost always) dry on Queens day. So with Coronation day on Tuesday, Wednesday is going to be nothing as well. Even though there is a restriction of 1 beer per person in Amsterdam and a cancelation of happy hour, people are going to get hammered anyway. I just love to see those groggy hangover faces the next day. So that’s for Wednesday, which leaves only Thursday, since I took Friday of for a shopping date and movie night with my friends. But don’t tell my boss! ;)

With love,

Willemijn
