- Its all much of a muchness

sorry to those who have been checking my blog to see what ive been up to and were disappionted to find that its, sadly, old news.

well the last couple of weeks havent really been that much of an adventure, and i didnt see the need to write, simply cos there was nothing else to do.

Ive been working at school for the last few weeks now, developing ideas and doing some drawing and experiments. The school is pretty lax, quite similar to back home, you can do whatever you want there are no restrictions and it would be very easy to go by unnoticed. The lecturers are only here half a day a week.... well the studio spaces are a really good size but the workshop where my studio is, is pretty useless. and the other workshop is across town, not so handy. I am finding it good to be in europe where i am so close to the cathedrals and the history that my work is based on this year.

Im finding that because i have no other commitments here, no extra curriculars, that i have a lot of time to spend on my school work, which is good, and hopefully i can really get a lot of prep work done for my second semester because i can forsee it eing the most insane time of my life, ever..., but its also bad, because there is so many exciting things happening back home that i am missing out on. but i am here such a short time that it is difficult to get into any extra curriculars and a hard environment to make any decent friends. though i am finding my flatmates quite fascinating...

I was told that Holland is the most boring country in europe, i think they were right. i am beginning to sense the mundaness of life that is holland... it was snowing today, very cold, i had to bike with two pairs of gloves and two scarfs and and ear warmer and hat over top!

i feel like i really need to do something worthwhile while i am here, to justify spending so much money to get here, and all the things i am missing out on at home

well i quess you have to take the good with the bad, and when things are going bad turn the situation around and make it good. im going to get out of here soon and have some adventures in germany and maybe get to belgium. theres a cool cathedral in france that i really want to see...

well yeah, not really an adventure, just going about life, as you do.
nearly got hit by a car today... (stupid bike lane at intersections, cant figure it out)
my argentinian acrobat flatmate, is the coolest... i like listening to him talk,i learn a lot from him, though i think he is tainting my view of the dutch, 'fuckers' he says
but he is leaving soon, that will be sad for me, but it is good for him to get out of here this place makes him really sad, i can see it in his eyes...

i have another blog, not so adventurous, but written in more often, you can link to it in my profile, its www.rosyponders.blogspot.com if you want to bookmark it, its just random thoughts and stuff that im trying to think about, probably doesnt make too much sense...

thats all
