It is Friday evening and I am still very sick, but Dad is coming to visit tomorrow and for that I am happy!!
This week all I have really done is roll out of bed, go to class, try not to cough while the lecturer is speaking, come home and drink lots of chocomel, which is the Dutch hot cocoa drink that comes in a juice box and you heat over the stove. I feel very sorry for myself because I am cooped up in my flat but many other students are sick I think.
My classes seem very good actually with interesting reading and paper topics. I am going to study in the beautiful public library on the water which has a cafe on the top floor! I bought my books in the Athaneum book shop and started making a schedule of my exams and my travel! My first trip will be Oslo on October 1st, and then I think I am going to Istanbul a short time after.
For all the time spent in my room I should be writing a longer entry, but there is really not much to report I guess! I just finished the movie Volver with Penelope Cruz which I liked very much. And I am going to get an early night tonight to be at Dad's hotel by noon or a bit before. I have a lot of plans for our day.
Sending much love.
Julie
