So then I was home again and slowly the world of fairy lights came alive again and people were falling through the rain again and umbrellas were out, sunglasses in their boxes somewhere behind a pack of maggi and an unwashed cup, a lost shirt and some dirty socks, in a dark blue barely closing cupboard. And there were the smiles again, those smiles that no one forgets, and there were the rumours again, and look, there are the frogs again! There were the big suitcases and the even bigger mathematics books and the photos on the cupboards and the mosquito bites on the faces.

Meanwhile, 4 days of classes are over, but I really can't say that we're back to normal! Everyday, there's one or two meetings about universities, counselling, triveni,... People don't have that tired look on their face yet, the rooms aren't all too messy yet and the excitement, oh no, that isn't gone yet! Two days til our dear firsties arrive and we are so ready for them! Indi and I are making our room and house ready, I've already booked a jeep to go get my firstie in the airport and the planning for next week and the month of september has been sent to all secondyears. Yes yes, if any firstie is reading this: hurry up! We're waiting!
Busy times are awaiting this term. School will be more demanding than ever (wow so dramatic) with IA's and EE's and much more to work on. Then there's also the new triveni program, which a group of students including myself are coordinating. I really want to put some time into getting to know the firstyears, and I also have to start thinking about universities, where I want to apply, what I want to do, and so on. I feel good, rested out, full of excitement about this year, I want to work hard and do things the right way. So bring it on :)
I'll have to go now, work a bit and then go to a meeting.

Hey Louise,
ReplyDeleteLeuk je blogspot te kunnen lezen.
Zag dat je Eva bent gaan ophalen in de luchthaven.
Hoe gaat het er mee?
Wij hebben nog geen conatct kunnen nemen met Eva. Blijkbaar heeft ze nog geen toegang tot internet. Kan je haar vragen om, indien mogelijk eens contact op te nemen (een mailtje of zo) we zitten hir allemaal op hete kolen om wat nieuws te horen. Ze kan ook een SMS sturen, kwestie van eens te weten he het gaat.
Groetjes
Jan Hannon
