One week down, two to go!

It is so hard to believe it is Saturday. Each day seems to drag on, but the weeks just breeze by. The weather has finally begun to cool off, some really big storms moved in all around Europe, but seemed to hit everywhere but Oisterwijk. I am not complaining, we got the cool air without the heavy storms!

I am glad classes are going by fast, it is rough sitting through 4 hours of class a day. We even have classes on Saturday, so now Grandpa can't complain about our class schedules ;)

These past few days have just been relaxing. I haven't done too much, which is fine by me. The previous 6 weeks were moving non-stop and it is good to get a break. I started to read The Shack here, I found a nice small park a good 15 minutes away. The book has its memorable moments, but for the most part it is just dialogue that is dragged on and on. Still, the good parts make it worth it.

Today is the 4th of July, nothing happens here of course. But the hotel is doing a bbq for us tonight and I think some of us are going to live it up on our own somehow after dinner. It is interesting being over here and celebrating our 233rd year of existance when these countries over here have been around for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Well, our break in between classes is almost over so I better get back. I hope to update some more soon!

  1. Hey Grant,
    Great to see the news from "Oystertown!" What is the class work about now? Is it true that town was founded in the 13th century?
