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
