Hi everyone! Another lengthy blog from me today ^-^
I've been meaning to blog for a while, but just haven't come round to sitting down and actually doing it O.o;
So, quite a while ago already on 12th, 13th and 14th of June I went to London to visit my ex-chemistry-teacher Antione Giusti. It was a really awesome weekend and we did loads of fun stuff! We went to the Saatchi Gallery, the Natural Histroy Museum, Camden Town and the London Zoo. I also played some games on his Playstation 3, which was amazing! I really want one...but it's too expensive *-*
It really was a lovely weekend. The first day I was there I helped him in the kitchen, cooking an indian recipe of which I forgot the name, but it was deliscious! And the next day we made brownies (according to a secret recipe, which he taught me ^-^ I feel so lucky!). They were heavenly XD
I went back on the Sunday with a bag full of pots in one hand and 8 big moving boxes in the other.... It was heavy and tiring, but well worth it, because I really needed those boxes to move all my stuff to my new house... OMG I didn't realise that I had so much stuff O.O Everytime I thought I was getting to the end, more stuff came from every corner *-* Anyway, all that is now in my new house, to which I'm moving tomorrow, so the unpacking can begin tomorrow afternoon o.O I'm looking forward to it already.... not
Another thing I did last month was celebrate Iman's FIRST!!! She got a first on her second semester, which means she got 70% or higher on her whole semester. She already had a first on her first semester, so now she only needs to get a first on her thesis and then she'll have no problem getting into a phD. SO we celebrated with a desserts dinner :P OF course ^-^ hehehe
It was awesome! We made:
Deepfried Cauliflower (very tasty)
Chips
I know these are not desserts, but we were just very hungry after shopping... So we needed some power food. And considering we were in the kitchen preparing all this for about 3 hours O.O! it was a good descision to have some power food ^-^
So after consuming that we made:
OREO Cheesecake
Brownies (according to Antione's secret recipe)
Strawberry/ Banana Smoothie
Rhubarb and Strawberry Crumble
And truffles
(you can look at all these deliscious creations in the side bar with a link to my picassa account)
I had loads of fun with Iman and either tomorrow or thursday we're gonna celebrate again, because the results of my last semester were just phoned in by the parents XD
I got 71.3% average over the year!!!! YEEY ^-^ A FIRST!!!! :D Happy dance time!
<(o.o<)...........<(o.o)>...........(>o.o)>............<(o.o)>................<(o.o<).......<(o.o)>........(>o.o)>
So, basically I passed my first year of Chemistry with a really good grade :)
Now I'm going to enjoy my last few days here and look forward to Saturday, because the parents and Psycho sister (teehee... LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU AMBER! ^-^) are coming over to see my new crib XD I'll be back in the Frog Country by Monday and I can't wait! I wanna HUG Fudge!!!! :D
Anyway, that's it for now, next time I'll probably be blogging from the Neths.... If I find the time and need to blog.. O.o; so...... thanks for reading!
Love,
Fleur ^-^

Recap of my studies..... and procrastination :)
Hi all! ^-^
It's been ages since I posted a blog, so I thought I'd update it a bit :D Also, I just studied for like 2 hours, so I can use a break XD
So.... as some of you may know my mom came to visit me for a few days, Yeey! We spoke on the phone on Saturday and I said that I kind of regretted telling her not to come to England 'cause I had to study for exams. I'd already studied quite a lot and most of the stuff I already knew, so it actually would've been fine for her to come visit me.... So I was a bit sad about that *-*
Anyway, the next day, Sunday morning 8:30, I was still asleep x_x Mom and Dad called me again saying they had a surprise for me ^-^ Mom was gonna come visit me :) I was so happy that I was wide awake at that point. She was actually arriving at Southampton airport at 9:20 pm that same Sunday!! OMG O.O! So the rest of the day I studied loads so that I'd have more time with mom :D That evening I picked her up at the airport and we watched a film :) hehehe and guess what? She, of course, fell asleep halfway through the film XD So cute!
The next day we went to the estate agent to get all my paperwork sorted and as always they bugged me about getting the others to come and get all their stuff sorted, but I told them I wouldn't do that because I'd done that loads of times already and it wasn't my problem anymore.... I actually got a bit pissed at this lady, because she tried to make her problem into mine, saying that she was very busy and the landlord kept nagging at her and stuff like that. So I didn't really go into any discussion, because I just wanted to get all my stuff sorted, which we did. Also, I was in contact with our fourth person for the house, Electra (she's from Greece), and on Tuesday she had also signed, which really got a load of stress off my shoulders ^-^
The rest of Monday was spent in the city centre, SHOPPING of course hehehe XD I got 3 new trousers, a T-shirt and 2 blouses... and some other stuff ^-^ It was so much fun finally shopping with mom again. I've really missed that a lot.... Anyway, on our way back we went past ASDA and got ourselves some dinner and snacks and when we got home we had some lovely entrecotes, coliflower with cheese and roasted potatoes YUMMM :)
On Tuesday, mom went to Portsmouth to let me study some more. She went to the Charles Dickens museum and strolled around a bit apparently.... I was sitting on my bed, doing past papers and thinking of the amazing dinner we were gonna have. Yes, you might've guessed it, we went to the Cowherds! ^-^ I had the Beef, Mushroom and Guinness pie and mom had a Duck and apricots. It was deliscious, so good even, that we didn't dare to go for a dessert....... we were stuffed! x_x But it WAS deliscious :P After dinner we walked home and got slightly lost, because we wanted to try a shortcut route, which turned out to be a longcut hehehe... O.o; But the awesome thing, though, was that we saw a Fox!!! my first fox since I got here!! yeey :D
On Wednesday, mom had to leave, but we had a nice morning together anyway. After mom left, though, I couldn't really do much anymore.... so I think I did half a past paper and watched Will&Grace for the rest of the night. I had a great time mom!! But you knew that already ^-^
So.... I guess that's about it. I had fun times with mom and Electra signed!! YEEY, so I don't need to worry about the house that much anymore :) Also, I will probably be going to London after exams to see my ex-chemistry-teacher. I was gonna go with Wendy, but she's too busy with her own stuff to go with me to London, so I guess I'll be going alone ...O.o; disappointing, but it'll still be fun I think :D
Oh, and if you're wondering when I'll be getting back to good old Holland... this will be the first weekend in July. Mom and Dad will come pick me up and we'll go to London to say goodbye to Lotte, who's going on a world trip!! O.O AWESOME!
Okay, that's it ^-^
Love you all!! Hope to see you soon :)

btw. Congrats Lotte! hope you liked my gift and of course that you'll have a great party, LOVE YOU! ^-^
