Week of 14 - 21 December, 2003


My last week in London. Got to finish up some projects, do some studying, write some exams, and maybe even play the tourist again.

Well, this week was pretty hectic. I had to finish up some projects, so that took up a couple of hundred hours. Well, felt like it at least. Then had to study a bit, since I did have exams to write. And then on top of that I had to get all packed up and ready to leave. Plus Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King was being released, so I had to see that.

But I got through it all with no problems. The exams went really well, wrote lots and lots and it seemed like I actually knew what I was talking about (at least I hope it seemed that way). The projects got handed in, and I even got to see the movie. Really good movie, by the way. I highly recommend it. I am looking forward to seeing all three back-to-back-to-back. It will be one long, but exciting day. Oh yeah.

Anyway, I am writing this on the couch in Delft, so I should mention how I got here. Took the train from Liverpool St. Station to Harwick, and then from there took the ferry to the Hoek of Holland. It was a short train ride from there to Delft. Volkert's place (where I am staying) is actually really nice, and directly across from the train station. It is literally only a one minute walk. Really nice. The ferry was nice, if long. It was supposed to be high speed, but that was cancelled due to the weather. So we took the regular ferry, which took 6 hours. It wasn't too bad though, even got to see Master and Commander. Really made the movie when the theatre swayed. It was like we were actually there.

Now I am going to rest up, and heading toward Amsterdam tomorrow. It should be really nice. Staying at a friend's of a friend's of Nora's Dad's place. I think those are the right number of apostrophes.

So long for now, Merry Christmas
