Countdown to Spring!

I cannot believe I'm flying home in 17 days! :) :) :)

Things have been hectic, and last weekend I was notified that a big ass paper was to be done in the time period that I'm skipping school. The image of me lounging around in Bali sipping my cocktails/coconut while watching the sunset and getting massages is brutally shattered.

My well deserved break, down the sink now.

I just have to find the time to sit down and figure out a research topic one of these days. With exams in 2 weeks.

I cant wait to come home.

Decided to come home again for Summer. Just booked my tickets. Well postponed break is better than nothing no?

Things I will do for a massage now.

The weirdest thing happened on my way to the conference last Monday. I was walking to the Centraal Station when this guy approached me, asking where the CS is. Being nice, I told him I'm going there now too and he can just walk with me. On the way, he told me about his job that he buys clothes to ship to underdeveloped countries. Then he asked if he can sell me something so that he'll be done with his job for the day.

I paused. Not really understanding his English nor his point. I told him I am on my way to a conference and I'm already running late. The he started begging me to sell him something, my coat, my broek (pants), my underwear.

No I had the same reaction you're having now. Jaws dropped, eyes widened and head spinning in disbelief.

I told him no, hell no. He started raising his bid, up to 250 euros. Oh my lord. Who needs coffee when you live in Rotterdam eh.

P.S. I did not sell my underwear. Not at the current rate anyway :p
