The Most Amazing week (part 1)

The past week was soooo amazing =) =) =)

I miss my big sis a lot =( But then again, I'm also grateful for the brilliant week we've had =)

Because we did so many things, I'm gonna update in parts. For now, I'll stick to the first night, Sunday July 23th:

On Sunday, I was walking around the house nervously all day. Then at 4, me and my mom finally left for the airport in Brussels. We got there around 4.45, and sat down somewhere to drink something.

Then around 5.30 we went down again, and I positioned myself at the doors where the arriving passengers come out. I got an sms of Kriszti saying that she landed and was waiting for her luggage. I texted back that I would be waiting for her right when she came out. My heart was beating like mad, while I stood there, watching all the people that came through that door.

Then, Kriszti sent me an sms asking where I was, since she was out. "Huh?" Yes, she was out. The problem was that (and we found this out after about half an hour on the phone) she was on another airport. Yes, ANOTHER AIRPORT. Well, it's not much of another airport...just some landing space for airplanes.

At the airport, people told her to get a bus to the train station Brussels midi, and then take a train to the national airport. I told her to take the bus. Me and mom would be picking her up at the train station. Right after I told her that, we got cut off, and I got a message that she could no longer accept calls. Not enough money on her cellphone. Not even enough to sms...
So me and mom hurried out of the airport, and went on our way to Brussels midi. I was sure that Brussels midi meant Brussels central station. So after a crazy trip through Brussels we arrived there, and I went up to a lady to ask where the busses arrived. She told me that those busses arrived in Brussels midi. Well, that's where I was standing right? Uhm, no, Brussels midi is actually Brussels south station.

So I rushed to the car again, asked some policemen how to get to Brussels midi by car, and then we were on the road again. But we couldn't find Brussels south station.
We drove around Brussels, and atarted asking lots of people (in lots of languages). Eventually we found someone who got us up the right way. And then finally, we arrived at Brussels midi. I jumped out of the car, telling mom i'd be looking for her inside while she tried to find a parking spot. When I ran into Brussels midi, I understood that it was not a good place for a girl to walk around on her own. I ran around the station, and mom joined me about 15 minutes later. I sent Kriszti an sms that mom would be waiting for her at the round box (lmao) that said "toerisme Brussel". I went walking around the station again, trying to find the place where the busses arrived. When I couldn't find it, I went to the telephones to see if I could call her that way. Some phones only worked with credit cards, and some others with prepaid cards. But the shop to buy the cards was closed. I went back to mom, told her about the phones, and she said she'd go have a look. So I stayed at the "round box"...

Only a minute later, i saw a girl, wearing jeans (short, but still longer than the knee lol) and a blouse, coming up to me. I only remember going "oh god" and hugging her... =) I went to get mom, and we finally left the station.

A little hour later, around 10, we arrived in Antwerp. Kriszti had reserved a room in a youth hostel. So I went with her, installed her in her room, and we finally had some time to talk. She also had some awesome gifts for me, my brother and my mom =)
I left the youth hostel around 10.55, had bad luck with the subway, and realized that my bus had gone when I arrived at the bus station. So I texted mom, telling her I'd be waiting for the next one, but she got seriously mad at me and said she'd come to get me. So half an hour later, I was in the car with a super-angry mom, but she got a bit more forgiving when I showed her the gifts of Kriszti.

So well, let's just say I'll deffo remember that night in 40 years :p

My heart ...

... is pounding like mad.

Tomorrow around this time, Kriszti will be here...omg, where have those 60 days gone? =)


I'm too nervous to write about anything else.

Oh yeah, one thing that I can come up with: I love hot summers.

In-depth writing

When I was lying on my bed, about 10 min ago, I was thinking of some in-depth stuff to write here. It was all there, nice in my head, but I forgot.

Looking back at this blog and the stuff I've been writing in it, a not-so-good thought crossed my mind. I asked myself if people who read this would get a good idea of who I am. The answer is no. This has, of course, also to do with the fact that I don't write that often. But still, when I do write, it's random stuff most of the time.

*re-reads every single entry of this blog*

Well, actually...for me it does mean quite a lot. Re-reading everything also brought back memories that had already escaped my mind. It's funny to read about my thoughts on the "February thing" =)
So I guess this blog isn't useless at all. It's very useful...for me. And if other people choose to read it, that's nice.
I gotta admit that I do have this "urge to express myself to other people". When I was younger, one of my biggest wishes was to become a (famous) writer. Writing a book that other people can actually pick up and read sounded (and still sounds ) so awesome. The bad thing is that I've lost my "writing skills", if I ever had them.

Well, enough about writing, let's get back to the moment here and now.

I've just started reading my 4th (I think) book of this summer. I didn't read too much today though, cause I tend to get headaches really fast lately. The pain seems to come from my neck, and it gets worse and worse, until I feel like my head is gonna explode. :(
Gotta see a doctor if this doesn't stop.

I still haven't finished studying the theory for the driver's license. It's so dull. lol! *promises herself to do some more tonight*

Okay I feel like stopping now.

Well one last remark: I should use more pictures here. It's so boring: all text, text and text.

Anyway, I'm off.

Got my laptop back!

Yay title says it all =) I was so suprised 'cause I didn't expect it before next week.

I haven't been sleeping much the last two nights. And today I worked from 8 till 18...I'm exhausted. My damn feet are killing me.

I seriously need the upcoming week of doing nothing :p hehe

ahhhhhhhh I love July =)

I'm weird...

So I wanted to post this quiz-thingy on here, but it didn't work, so i'll just tell you what it said: "You're 50% weird. You're normal enough to realize that you're weird, but you're too weird to do something about it." Lol =)

Frankly, I think 50% is seriously underestimated :p

First of all, some really great music to check out here: www.theveronicas.com I absolutely love their song "When it all falls apart". Haven't been able to listen to much more (slow computer remember) but it seems promising. I wanted to ask someone to buy their album as a birthday gift for me, but it's not getting released here untill august 28th...I might order it online though.

Then apart from that I don't have much to say...all days have been pretty much the same so far. I've been bored like hell the first three days, but I'm slowly adapting to holiday-mood now. I guess my mind just has to get used to the fact that I can just sit down, do whatever I like, without feeling guilty about it :)

Tomorrow i'm gonna see the Da Vinci code =) I planned on seeing it the day it came out, but hey, better late than never.
For the rest of the day, I'll have to go looking for a good book to read...I've finished two already...yes, in about 10 days =)
And I also wanna do some more studying for the theory exam (drivers license)...so I guess (hope?) no boredom tomorrow =)

I was watching tv earlier tonight, and it showed fragments of people in the airport waiting for family to come home. I can't believe I'll be standing there in exactly 18 days, waiting for my big sis to come of the plane. I still feel like it's all a wonderful dream =)

Goodbye highschool, hello ......?

Nope, I did not disappear. I have to admit that I had imagined my "I finished highschool"-entry to be quite different.

The reason for the lack of updates is easy: my laptop stopped working. I can't connect the battery charger to the computer anymore, so there is no power. I was hoping it would be fixed soon, but since it won't, I'll use our old computer for an update.

Here is a little record of the past week:

On Friday, june 23th, I did my last exam. I went home, had lunch, and wanted to sleep a bit, but decided to go to Antwerp with a friend instead. Unfortunately, on Saturday, I had to get up at 6.45 to go to work. When i came home around midday, I was completely exhausted. Luckily, I started to feel better at night.
I tidied my room on Sunday :s
Then on Monday, we (= me, Ilke, Ellen and Lise) went to the seaside in Holland with the first-years of our school. Even though I wasn't looking forward to the trip at all, it turned out to be fun :) Pictures might follow later, as I can't put them on this computer.

Then on Tuesday I didn't do much. Went to school around 16.30 to hear that I passed.

I can't remember what I did on Wednesday :s Oh yeah, I went shopping lol. Bought a dress for graduation.

Then on Thursday, I went to school in the morning to hand in my schooldiary and get some instructions for graduation. Then at night, the moment was finally there: the official end of my carreer in highschool. Graduation itself was cool, but some moments were a bit boring. I'm proud to tell you that I managed not to do anything stupid (like falling over wires or so), and the entire thing passed (almost) without any emberassing moments. My results were good, and so were those of my friends. At least the work paid off then. Oh yeah, I even got the prize for religion (lol!).
After graduation we got our yearbook, and had a drink. Mom convinced me to go to my English teacher of last year to thank him for the influence he had had on my future. It felt quite emberrassing at the moment itself, but now I'm glad I told him. Around 11 me and mom said goodbye to more theachers and friends, and then went home.

Friday morning, I walked into Sint-Michiel (and yes, thats the name of my school...well, ex-school) for the last time. For the last time as a student I mean. I sold my books, and joined Ilke in selling hers. Then afterwards, we sat down and talked for another hour, until Ilke had to leave. Me and Ellen left a few minutes later. I turned around, gave the schoolgrounds a last look, and then walked on... goodbye high school.

After counting down the days till graduation, my feelings are rather mixed. I'm glad the schoolyear is over, but on the other hand I think I'm gonna miss it too. Suddenly college doesn't look that attractive anymore. I'm still looking forward to it, of course, but it just seems to be rather scary now. I think I'm gonna miss the "safe" feeling I had in Sint-Michiel.

Right now, I'm on holiday, and i'm free until the 31st of July (In August, I'll be working).
Since yesterday, the weather got very good, and I hope it will stay that way as long as possible.
Today it's exactly three weeks until Kriszti's arrival =) =) =)

I think i've written enough for now...i'm gonna find something to eat for lunch, and then enjoy the weather.
