In Which There is SNOW [Day 81]
I have a ridiculous amount of work I need to do, but I needed to update that THERE IS SNOW. Snow was one thing I really did want to see here at the Castle. It apparently snowed this weekend, but of course I missed that. It's not sticking, but ...
Black Swans & Muppets [Day 18]
... -forth game. I think the final score was 11-9 Jackie (we played to 11). My second game against Caitlyn did not go nearly as well. With Ping Pong, I think my reflexes are decent, but I completely fail and getting the ball to go where I want it ...
Booking & Doctor Who [Day 19]
So I had a fairly successful day. Finished The Iliad, started The Odyssey, booked flights to and from Dublin, had a Disney sing-a-long with Paulina and Camille, applied for my spring housing, hung out in Sophie's and booked nearly all of our hostels for ...

Right Back Into the Swing of Things [Day 11]
And here we are, back again at home. We've all started calling it home now - took me less time to start calling the Castle home than it took me to think of the LB that way last year. I will update from Tuesday afternoon through Sunday when I can - I have ...

Honeymoons & Crispy M&M's [Day 13]
... weekend! I decided today, while sitting in the bakery while Alex ate her pizza, that I really want to meet more people of Well, and more Dutch people. I like everyone I've met and I like living with Emersonians, but I feel like I'm missing something vital ...

Preparation Day [Day 14]
This week literally flew by and I've gotten done a lot but still have so much to do. I have a feeling most weeks are going to be like this: get home from a trip, classes, homework, classes, homework, MUPPET and Sports Night and RA events and ...

An Evening in Sophie's [Day 26]
... I stayed there for about an hour, reading Oedipus at Colonus. It was so perfectly sunny (although sometimes cloudy, as per Netherlands weather) and I was almost too warm in a sweatshirt and windbreaker. I saw four (!!!) bikers wearing helmets, and a nice ...
Naps on Naps on Naps [Day 80]
Got back just in time for brunch - and then I proceeded to take a "nap" that lasted straight through until dinner. Didn't get a whole lot done today, went to bed pretty early, and in general just slept. I think I am very sleep ...

... (Alex, Lexie, and Jenni). The band music was so strange. This little parade of men, in blue and white uniforms with Well flags and instruments and the funny hats I saw last night, marched down Kasteellaan. Annie said that according to Chetwynd someone ...
Late Fall at the Castle [Day 68]
... RA event - which conflicts with all the homework I still have to do, plus traveling. I could really use a few years in Well, not a few months. Although I'm certainly not a local, I feel very comfortable here. There are fewer cars and people and buildings, ...
Just Before Finals [Day 82]
I have a ridiculously short amount of time left in the castle. Chester told us to enjoy our last week here, which I would be only too happy to do - if I had the time! I have four essays, a portfolio, and three tests this week. Still trying to figure out ...
In Which I Sit In Our Staircase [Day 25]
Just finished Skyping Mom, Dad, Nana, & Grandpa! It was great to see them, and actually kind of fun sitting in our staircase to do so - Sam was Skyping her mom upstairs and stealing all the WiFi. I'm still sitting here, actually. I used to sit on ...

Sinterklaas & Lots of Lasts [Day 83]
... ! Everyone in the dining dungeon was so hyped up - accepted blatant racism can do that. I still can't get over how ridiculous - and well done - the blackface is here! It doesn't bother me as much as it used to, but it still shocks me a little. ...
Fun in Well!
Today was our first really sunny day in the Netherlands! We woke up at around 9:30 and the sun was up and birds were chirping! It felt like we were in a Disney movie, or something! Anyway, we had brunch at 11, and after that we were free until 1, so I ...
