Long overdue

This update is long overdue, of-course, but with stress, a job and a big lack of interest I have not found it a rewarding idea to update this blog.

So, I passed my high school in the Netherlands, which was the one point at which I personally could fail and pretty much ruin all chances of my fabled America year.
So that was great, but going to America is not that easy.

Between now and passing my finals, I have had to visit the doctor (several times), the bank and the US consulate, trying to prove my to them that I am, in order; not a danger to the national health figures of the United States of McDonalds Drivetrough, am financially stable enough to live in the nation of endless and mindless debt and loans, and finally that I am not a threat to the Government that has a constitution protecting the right of everyone to bear arms up against aforementioned goverment.
Sensible huh?

Pluspoints though, I am now slightly less mortal (vaccins reduce the amount of things I can die from), am now capable of bankrupting my parents (I get a creditcard with access to the household account) and am somewhat experienced with international diplomatic actions (hint, be prepared to wait, and never EVER bring your parents).


So, now I am all set and ready to leave for a predetermined place in about two weeks right? HECK no!

Due to iternal affairs, the sharpening of background checks for possible host family's and general insuficiant ammount of host family's almost half of the applicants going to the US have no host familly yet, I leave it upto your sense of story telling to understand to what half I belong to.

So now, my life altering journey has been postponed for two weeks, I now plan to leave the 30th, I will be so happy once I am in the damned plane.

The seventh shall be the last day on my current job as a, well a guy who does what other people rather not waste their time on, after that I will spend some time aiding the Socialist movement, I shall promote the work of the Young Socialists.

And if all goes well, THEN I will leave.

So there you go, a blog, its right here, you probably just read it, so yea, seeya.

Im IN!

Quite a while ago, I was made to FINALLY make the aphorementiond test.
It was rediciclously easy, questions like ''the dog is under the sofa'' and then pictures of a dog in various places surrounding a sofa-ish piece of furinture.

Anyways, that is done and it has been send back in the mail. And I just got a email saying Im now completly into the program!! I IZ IN BITCHAS

Will probaly make this post longer later.

I got shot!

A few days ago, I got shot, its OK though, it was just a injection-shot.

yea apparently I didn't have all the needed injections yet, so Im getting some now.
Good thing we started way early, because this injection is a nasty one, it requires a injection just like it four weeks later, and after about 6 months they get lonely these shots get lonely so they need yet another amigo, and then the three of them work together to improve my body so I become immortal! except for things that are not related to their specific disease that is, well it makes me a bit less mortal, Ill take that.

Actually, that was just one of three shots I needed, the other two wherent so needy and where content whit being alone, to keep the ammount of unauthorized holes in my body to a minimum the docter decided to make a nice little cocktail of the stuff inside these drugs, so now lets pray they don't cancel eachother out or something, I assume the Doc knew what he was doing, but who can be sure?

Anyway, so I got my shots, what else happend, lets see.
Ow, I dindt get to go to Utrecht in order to have a conversation to test my conversational English!

You might think that that is nothing special and you didnt get to do that either, but for one thing, this is my blog so I decide what is special and whats not, and for another, I didn't do it, but I was supposed to.

You see, in order to go to Utrecht I need to take one boat and several trains, no I don't actually take them, Im not that strong, Id just sit in them as they take me to a predetermined point.
Anyway, as you might know, it is currently Winter on this half of the globe, and for some reason, its a hard one, the whole NL is turning into a ice-cube. This extra harsh winter has caught us with our pants down, so now we are standing in our boxershorts in this weather making our nuts freeze off, and our train system can't handle it.

So long story short, I must now go at another time, preferbly a time where I actually can leave the province.

Why Im not telling you more? Like that my Mandolin arrived and Im very exited about that? Or that Im going to school wicked early tomorrow morning? Because those things are completly unrelated to my oncoming trip to America, but I still would like to mention them, so as the dutchmen say, ''bij deze''.

anyway, blog aus.
