Merry Christmas!!!

At the moment I am in our hotel in Amsterdam where I have been basically for the last 18 hours. I didn't go sightseeing because umm I might have overeaten and then gotten sick and then slept all day yesterday...hahh yeah but we did go out to eat some korean food! I really wanted to order kimchi fried rice in those stone pots but then realized I wasn't ready to eat so much yet.

IT'S A WHITE CHRISTMASS! For Christmas, the Xue family was delivered (at 1:40 am) a salami pizza, half of which was eaten by Dalton. Wanna know why? My parents never got around to feeding him lunch. Poor baby!!!

I'm going to miss Belgium sooooo muuuuuuch.

Someone recognizes my stretchy belly skills

This totally made my day.

Breakfast: ate 3 thin pancakes, a cookie, couscous, green beans, 4 chocolate santas
Lunch: a "Giant" quick burger (this thing actually looked tiny, although it did have two patties), sack of fries with a packet of mayonnaise, bottle of orange juice
Snack: 2 thin pancakes, a cookie
Dinner: two VERY (freshly) fried chicken croquettes (large nuggets), two huge mashed potato scoops, mayonnaise based peppery pink sauce, peas, orange
Snack: Coconut cookie

At 9PM swim practice:
Me "Ughhh I ate too much :("
Karolien *looks me up and down* "Yeah I can tell, your stomach looks like a balloon"

HAHAHHA.

After swim practice, I had a clementine and a bunch of letter crackers (a cross between alphabet soup and animal crackers).

It's now 4 AM. I'm still full.

I can't wait to wake up and be hungry so that I can eat again...

I'm in the library

studying for the first time all semester! (Or I will be once I finish this post :D) Not that I normally study in the library anyway but....just wanted to point this out and also, there is an awesome clock that I had never before noticed in the corner it's like huge and it's SO funny when the minute hand changes because first it wobbles for a bit. Hehe.

Everyone in here looks like they're working really hard. Which means I should be working really hard tooooo.

I saw Harry Potter yesterday! It was quite good but with movies like this, I always feel like there's too many moments that are dragged out too long. There was an intermission during the movie! SO COOOL!!! The seats at the movie theatre don't go up and down either. They just stay down. And it was snowing last night; it was so glittery...I don't remember snow having so many sparkles so maybe it's just the Belgian snow? It was so beautifulll.

So I found out that since I didn't reload my phone on time, I've been paying for every single one of my sms's this month as opposed to getting 5000 free ones...wow. Wow. Like I'm in shock!! I don't know if I should reload for the last month or just not. I think I just won't because if you want to reload, you have to do at least 15E at a time; I don't think I'll need it. I still have 8 euros left...but I could have sent so many more if I had just reloaded on time >.< Good news: Euro is almost 10 cents cheaper than last month! Bad news: I'm only here for 3 more weeks.

(Sad) QQ

Also I wanted to say that I've been speaking in modified English for quite a while now. I think I'm trying to sound less American so that I'll fit in more but I also do enjoy it because I feel like there is less expected of me if my English isn't perfect. Right?? :D Plus I think it's fun and cute ^.^
