Scary!

It might seems to be a weird way to start my blog, but the time is scary! The time is flying by way too fast, but not fast enough. I have mixed feelings… I received my domestic flights last Wednesday and that scared the shit out of me! I'll be flying out of Mackay with Thea and Sarah, at 6.30am on the 2nd of June. That day is coming too close, but the 3rd of June isn’t close enough. We’ll fly to Brisbane and after an hour stop we’ll fly through to Sydney. I’m excited to see mum, dad and everyone else again (and my dog!), but I don’t want my aussie life to end. So that’s why I enjoy every moment. I look at the little things and think: this is perfect and I will miss this.

I went back to school on Tuesday and school was pretty normal. Canoeing with rec, it’s pretty good. I can’t remember all the things we did, bad memory, wooooow.

I had to make Dutch food for ‘culture day’ for Thursday. Sarah had to make Austrian food. Soooooo, I made ‘hutspot’ (mashed potato with carrot and onion) and ‘filled eggs’ and I brought biscuits; krakelingen, speculaas and mergpijpen. Plenty, but everything was gone by the end of the day. They even liked the hutspot, didn’t expect that! Oooh and so handy that Woolworths has Dutch food (:



Friday when I got home after school, I had to pack my stuff quickly and we went to Cohen’s footy game. Afterwards Red Rooster quickly and John and Krista dropped me off at Mackay North High School, so I could meet Laura and Sydney there. Mackay North had a fair, and Laura goes there. We walked around and went on a ride. once we got home we talked and watched tv. It was so good to catch up again, because we had such a great time on the Safari. Saturday we watched an ice hockey game, because Sydney loves it. Canadian, that’s why!

Sydney went to a birthday lunch, so Laura and I wanted to go to canelands, but her hostdad dropped us of at Mount P, so we had to catch the bus. But we didn’t have time, so we went to Baskin Robbins! Yummmm. I’ve had that 3 or 4 times now since I’ve been here and this was probably the last time. Before we went back, we went to Woolworths quickly; I wanted to show her the Dutch food section (: And I bought stroopwafels (syrup waffles), delicious! By the time we were back at her place, Sydney was back as well. Krista picked me up at three.

So we went straight home, got ready, took some stuff, and left again. Busy! We went to Crystal’s place and Krista and I went out to have a good time, whahahahha. We sure did! Sunday was sleeping. Till 2.30 pm for me, ah well. Should be okay sometimes.

Monday back to school, well, that was a mission. Nah, wasn’t too bad. We did capsizing with rec, with canoeing, it was fun though. You can put me in any kind of boat, and I’ll be fine. I love water, boats, sailing and all that stuff!
That night Krista took me out bowling, with some of her old friends from high school. It was so much fun. But let’s be honest: I’m a retard, so when I do bowling, I kick my right leg up in the air, above my head and it hurts. Just can’t stop it. I was first up to round 6 and I ended second last. Whoooops!

And today, Tuesday, was schoool and nothing hihihi. Just because I can. And of course, we watched House Rules and Packed To The Rafters! I love those aussie shows (:
Ooooooh by the way, last Sunday I watched the Eurovision Song Contest Final as well. This was the first time since 2004 that the Netherlands made it into the final. And Anouk became 9th with her song Bird. I reckon that’s amazing, after so many year of failure! Us Dutchies can be proud <3

It’s time to go to sleep now, so I can finish some last assignments of tomorrow. I’m so slack with school…
See you all next week!
