Spam from Holland

[Kalinzar]

I have been forced into making a reflection thread :rolleyes:

Now i have a very boring life so this topic will not be interesting, so please all move along to a more interesting thread!




You still here?

Well, don't say that i didn't warn you!

Maybe it's nice to start with a little story about myself in the first post. I'm Koen, 21 year old male from Holland. I'm studying Economics and hope to finish that in february/march. I can call myself Bachelor of Economics after that.. yay me! For the last part of my study i'm working 4 days and go to school 1 day every week.
Ehmz.. what else do you want to know? Hobbies? I do fitness, but not enough:) Or at least, the results aren't good enough.. Beside that i read a lot, play computer games, look around on the internet. Ehmz.. i'm a big fan of PSV (Dutch soccer club;)). I don't have a girlfriend and still live at my parents. Oh, and i'm Dutch, but i don't use drugs! :p That's about it for now i think...

That was nice timing.. yesterday i make this thread, today i have something to whine about:)

As i said i'm allmost finished with my study, I only need 2 things to finish. One of them is the 4-days-work-a-week-thing;) The other one is a test from the second year that i didn't make until now (yeah, silly me). Basicly i mailed the teacher now and he replied that he didn't have time because of his normal classes and yadayadayada. I mean.. it's only 30 minutes (it's a.. I don't know the word, a test were a teacher directly asks your questions instead of filling in a paper). So the silly idiot might make me stay longer on school because I won't have all my test results on time! *Grmbls* So now i mailed him and explained that. And I said that he either could do the test with me or sent a random result to the administration. I have more than enough compensation in the second year, so if he wants to send a 1 or higher to the administration without doing the test we're both happy i guess:p

Beside that i had a pretty nice day.. not counting the silly weather.. No rain all day, and then when i jump on my bike to ride home it starts raining:( But at least it only rained when i was going home.. so i had hot chocolate, a hot shower and dry clothes to look forward too:D

Hmmz, today my "coach" (i have a coach on my work since it's part of my study) delayed an appointment for the third time. I think we first agreed to have a talk last wednesday, than friday, than today.. now next wednesday... It doesn't really matter anyway, i need to talk about the "feed-back-form" she filled in about me, but since allmost all marks were good i'm easy;)

Oh, and i got my "kerstpakket". No idea how to translate that. It's basicly a box with gifts you get from your work before Christmas. They got them at the Fair Trade shops so i got cookies from Mexico/ Guatemala and a candle from Vietnam and stuff like that. Ah well, maybe some poor farmer gets some money for it now and some spoiled rich good-for-nothing-kid doesn't get that much Christmas presents :p

Yay! 5 hours and 10 minutes to work and then i have a vacation of 1 week! I'm really looking forward to a week without work and school. First Christmas, which is allways nice in my opinion. We don't get presents because we allready had them 3 weeks ago with Sinterklaas;) I'm not sure if that makes Christmas better or worse, i guess presents around the Christmas tree would be great for kids. At the other hand, Christmas without presents might give more attention to Christmas if you know what i mean.. Not the religious stuff, but the ehmz.. sphere if that's the word around it. It's allways special, Christmas tree, Christmas movies (or random movies, whatever we feel like;)), Christmas songs (allthough i pretty much had enough of them allready, Dutch radio has been broadcasting Christmas songs for weeks now) and ofcourse family, food and all :p Only bad thing is that we won't have snow this year, not that it happens often in Holland. More likely to get some snow in Januari. I'm working in a monastery at the moment (allthough i'm totally not into religion) and it's very nicely decorated, gives a really good christmas feeling:)

And then after Christmas a week without anything special, just feel lazy.. read books, watch some movies, talk with friends, play games etc. Oh, and i have a small "gathering" with some members of another online community. That community is totally Dutch which makes it very easy to organise gatherings, little different from the general discussion topics on this forum. Basicly someone shouts: "29 december, 13:00, Utrecht Central Station!" and some people say: ok! and we have another gathering organised and see how much people show up:).

I'm still bored, don't feel like starting a new part on my work what i won't be able to finish today anyway. I mean, i rather start on the monday after the vacation so i can finish it in one run. So i just keep saying random things in this topic for a while. Only bad thing is that i'm running out of topics allready.

Oh, to finish my vacation-preview-thing. We ofc also have.. what's the word in English? Old and new? Newyear? Anyway, we're moving into 2005;) So fireworks and telling everybody you see: happy newyear! I think that's pretty weird btw, if people just say happy newyear to everybody they see... I mean, it makes it well.. not personal. You know, when you say happy newyear to someone you don't know you don't really mean it. Well, maybe you aer nice enough to wish everybody you see a happy new year and really mean it from the bottom of your heart;) But I pretty much don't give a damn if someone i don't even know gets a happy newyear or not. I mean, i should at least know his/ her name (or nick) to care. Still i will say happy newyear to whoever i meet in the middle of the night.. Ah.. i guess it's a nice custom, better than just ignoring each other.

Merry Christmas everybody

Christmas was nice! Only bad thing was that my grandmother was ill so she couldn't come over:( But i just was at her place and she looked way better allready and she thought she would come visit us friday, so that's good. She only had.. flu? influenza? well, nothing really serious at least. But it isn't nice when people that are over 80 years old get sick.

That reminds me that her birthday is in 2 weeks and as usual i don't have a clue about what i should buy for her. It's way easier with kids, they allways know hundreds of things that they want for their birthday. My grandmother is more like: "Oh, never mind. I have everything i want." But still i feel i have to buy her a present... If she wants it or not! Now i just need to think of something nice *sigh* Ah... I guess i should be happy with people in my family that don't want presents :p

Yawn.. my vacation is allmost over and i have no idea how i'm going to wake up at 8 tomorrow. I was just getting used to going to bed at 4 in the morning and wake up somewhere in the afternoon... Funny thing is that the monday starts with a staff meeting, i'm afraid i will sleep during that:D

Beside the little problem about sleep i think this vacation really refreshed me:) I'm going to work my head off in january, finish my school in february, party a lot in february and march and then try and find a job i guess...

It's pretty hard to find jobs in Holland as a "newbie". For oldies as well in fact, the economy is kinda down. I just hope my "qualities" are so obvious that i find a job soon. In other words, i better prepare myself for a long time without work:D

It's not like i will be bored, allthough i do hope i find a job soon. I mean, the longer it takes the harder it will be to find a job i think. I mean, people will wonder why you didn't find a job after a year or something. But as i said.. i won't be bored. I'm running for "chairman" in another internet-community and i still want to finish my story. So i guess i will be busy whatever happens.

Hmmz, allmost 2 weeks ago that i posted something.. Was my life that boring? Well, yes!:p

Hmmz, let's see what i can talk about.. i passed a couple last tests so it looks more and more like i will finish my study in 4 weeks! YAY! After groundschool and eh.. what's the name of the second school? College or something? I felt.. well, not sad.. but i wouldn't have mind staying on one of those schools a little longer, nice classes, teachers, subjects etc. Now i'm more than happy that i'm allmost finished with this school:D Not that there is anything wrong with my class or something, all nice people but i just don't see them to often. The only nice girl in my class is even finishing her study in South Africa, i mean.. a class without nice girls isn't a nice class;)

At least we have a "date" for when she returns in 4 or 5 weeks or so, something else to look forward too i guess. So basicly my life is ok, and i have nice things to look forward too, which means that i don't have anything interesting to put in here. I mean, i know you are all waiting for my tales about love, sex, drugs, fights and other tales that are full of action.. but i'm affraid i have to dissapoint you. And to be honest i'm perfectly happy with that;)

It was told to me that i didn't post her for a while.. at least that means i'm not the only one reading my own spam i guess :D

Hmmz.. what can i talk about.. still busy with school, guess that's the main reason why i don't post to much. A couple days ago we found out that half our class was setting up graduation parties in the same weekend (including myself, i mean.. what do i care that i'm not 100% sure yet of graduation, PARTY!:p). So we agreed to make a seperate classparty some day and not to invite each other for the other parties.. Ah well, 10 or more parties in a row would have been boring anyway.

Beside thati'm getting more and more frustrated with this school.. thanks god that i only have a couple weeks left.. I hope at least, there a problem with one subject that i still have to get. Normally seen it should be easy but because of the way school is rambling about it i'm allmost getting worried:( Ah well.. i will get it anyway!

let's see.. non-school things.. Ehmz, my own little fiction story is finally going somewhere;) I mean, i finally have all the characters and locations and all that i think i need at the start and now i just have mix them up somehow, do some weird tricks and i will have a story. Not that it will be any good or something i guess, but it's fun making a world so far.

Good.. enough spamming for today.. otherwise i won't have anything to say during the next weeks.
