Hello again my beautiful people, how are you all? Good, I’m
glad. I myself are shattered to b honest. I got back from a long weekend in
Amsterdam last night and now spending my day working. Needless to say, I am
tired.
Amsterdam though was really cool, the people, the city, the
drinks. It is quite amazing how much
Amsterdam as a city differs from that of London. For example, there roads are
split into three, one for bikes, one for trams and buses and the other for
cars. Bike is by far the most common form of transport and pretty much every
single person has one. It’s the easiest and most convenient way to get around the city. If only London
adopted a Dutch attitude to cycling, it would make my life easier and not to
mention safer! I and my friends did go to the Anne Frank house, which was very
interesting and moving, very surreal as well. We also went to the sex museum
which again was interesting but also very, very strange. We all also ate a lot
of cake and drank a lot of coffee.
I am quite happy to be home though; my European travels have
worn me out. However it is slightly depressing that now I am home I have to
work and I still have a 1500 word assignment to do! How depressing, eh? It gets
even worse; I still have the majority of my Christmas shopping to do… That I am
sure will not be very pleasant nor fun and somewhat quite expensive.
With all of my blog entry’s, I always like to have a useful
message, which as of late they haven’t. So Carney’s (yes I did just refer to
myself in the third person) useful tip or warning if you take it that way, is o
make as much use of the Christmas holidays as possible. Yes it is nice not
being at university or school, but make use of the time. While it is always
nice to have a lazy day, I am very looking forward to having one on Saturday,
it’s also important to be proactive. So perhaps for ever lazy day you have,
have a day of work. Or as I like to try to do (and normally fail) is to try and
do something every day, whether or not it’s a blog entry like this or replying
to email’s, just make sure you do something and not fall into a slum!
And finally, no blog would be complete without a Eric
update. He is growing strong and healthy and developing well. He’s tired and
stressed as we all are and can’t wait for the university to close for a good
few weeks so he can get a nice rest and get some sleep. Hopefully someone will
still feed him…
Look below for some pretty photos + Eric.
See you all in 2014, have a fantastic Christmas and a unrememberable
New Year!
