Hi Everyone! ^-^
I realise that I haven't been blogging in a long time. Sorry for that, it's just, I've been very busy with studying as the workload in year 2 is immense and I've been preoccupied with other things O.o; Anyway, in the last few weeks a lot has happened, of course, I won't go into detail about everything XD
Labs this year are 10 hours a week, instead of 8 a week last year, which might not seem like much, but it really is a lot more work and so much more tiring! Though, the labs are a lot more fun to do also, which of course is a big plus :) I just finished this weeks labs yesterday, so today is a study day, i.e. go to lectures, start to write up my labreport, do some maths assignment, look through my lectures notes and do some homework problems... Jeez that sounds like a lot of work O.o; But that's what I plan to do xD
Because of some personal issues I've been having, I've been listening more to myself and thinking about what it is that I really want out of my life and how I can make it better for 'me'. So I've been hanging out more with my friends and stopped isolating myself in my room as much. I've actually been going out and drinking more as well, which I guess is good for building up my experience and of course alcohol tolerance hehehe ^-^; The main decision I've made, though, is that I really want to go to Africa and do volunteer work with animals, and I've taken steps to ensure that I can actually go. I have a telephone call with the organisation I'm going with next week, so more on that when I know more myself xD
One of the best things that I've done recently is go to Edinburgh with the Photography Society. My first time in Scotland, It was AWESOME! and so B-E-A-Utiful :D (I'll post some pictures I took later on). We left on a Thursday night, after my last exam for Semester 1 and when we got to the hostel we of course unpacked and went to the pub :) Friday we had a guided tour of Edinburgh organised by the hostel, which was really nice. Then me, Hector, James, Virginia and Tom did the whisky experience where we rode in a whisky barrel to see the process of whisky production, tried some whisky and saw a collection of 3500 whisky bottles (unopened)! It was really cool! In the evening we (the whole group) had mexican food and then went on a pubcrawl, which was amazing! ^-^ I think over the whole night I had 2 pints of cider, 1 pint of ale, 1 rum and coke, 1 pint of heineken, 1 cherry-ish shot, 2 sambuka shots and a tequila shot.... as you may guess I was a bit drunk :) Though I can still remember what I had and where we went and what we talked about, so I guess it can't have been that bad :D Also, a big bonus is that I didn't have a hangover at all! Though when I showered the next morning I do think I was still a bit drunk 'cause the shower was spinning a little O.o; hehehe... The next day (after going to bed at like 4:30am) I got up at 8:30 to have a shower and breakfast and in the afternoon, when everybody had woken up, me and a few of the group went to see Edinburgh castle, which was really beautiful. Afterwards we roamed around Edinburgh a little, ordered indian food and in the evening we went a tiny pub where 3 men were singing folk whilst playing their guitars, which was lovely. Then we climbed up a hill to this great unfinished copy of the Parthenon , which is also called Scotland's Disgrace because it was never finished. We stayed there for a while taking night-time pictures, which (I hope) turned out great :) On Sunday we roamed around the city a bit and then flew back to Soton around 2 o'clock.
So that's my story about Edinburgh. I'd love to go again and see a bit more of the nature of Scotland, maybe go camping with my parents there sometime, who knows. Anyway, my first experience of Scotland was amazing :D
I think this blog is long enough for now, so when I know more about my trip to Africa I'll let you know ^-^
Love you guys! and I'll try to blog more often from now on :)

Back in the UK
Hi Everyone,
I left the Neths yesterday and entered life in the UK again.... Mom and Opa waved me goodbye at the airport and I arrived in Soton at 17:15. It was actually quite weird, because 3 days ago I was sort of pre-homesick, while I was still in Groningen, which was very depressing. However, when I arrived in Soton I was really joyful. I was looking forward to seeing my friends again and to get my room sorted out, which is pretty much done now.... after a whole evening and morning cleaning up O.o;
When I was back in University grounds, the first thing I did was call Iman to say I was back. Apparently, just the day before, she'd been wondering when I was coming back because she missed me, awww ^-^ So, we had dinner together in the Pub and afterwards she had to go back to work again 'cause she has to finish her dissertation in 2 weeks. During dinner we were so happy to see each other again that we already discussed moving in together next year XD together with her brother AND... wait for it..... a kitten!!!!! :D OMG! I got so excited :) It might of course go very differently in the end....but it's fun to discuss that sort of thing anyway ^-^
Today I'm going food shopping and I have to go to the landlord as well.... cause there are mould spots in my room..... of course...... but it'll be fine, I hope.
So that's the first update from me, back in the UK ^-^
Love you all!

Update from Groningen
Hi everybody ^-^
It's been ages since I last posted something I know, but it was kind of because I'm at home currently (aka The Netherlands) and this blog was actually made for when I'm in the UK and the homefront wants to know how I am doing, so I thought it was kinda pointless blogging whilst in The Netherlands...... but then my dad said that I should blog again..... so here I am.... blogging for all of you :D yeey!
So here's what's been going on:
I've been to Italy!!! for just one week, but it was AWESOME XD It was bloody hot, which I don't like too much (I'm more a spring and autumn person), but the country was amazing. We were in a villa with my family (my sis, Amber, and my parents) and with really good friends of ours (Gijs, his parents, his Grandpa and his Uncle). The villa was in Umbria on top of a hill, which had a great view! :)
We saw loads of cool towns, cities and of course churches :D The thing was, though.... we drove there from Groningen.... Which is like 2 days drive TO Umbria and 2 days back.... Luckily Gijs' family owns an appartment in Switzerland where we could sleep in between traveling. Actually, though Italy is amazing, I think I was most in awe of the mountains in Switzerland. They were so cold, whilst when we were down again it was above 30 degrees..... it was just a weird and very beautiful experience ^-^
So Italy was great and Switzerland too :P After that 1 week in Italy we went by Leiden, which is where my uncle lives and we visited him in the hospital, because his big intestine was almost completely removed.... He seemed okay, but he was already recovering for like a week when we got there. I stayed with him in Leiden, taking care of him for 2 weeks, which was really nice, but also quite tiring. Though if I were to go back in time I'd do it again no questions asked :) It was really a lot of fun meeting all his friends there and helping with the popquiz he helped organize for his runningclub.
So 3 weeks I spent away from home and I couldn't wait to get back to Fudge (that's my cat for anyone who didn't know that yet ^-^). Since then Fudge has been sleeping with me in my bed for almost the entire time I've been back and I dread the time when I'm back in Soton, in my bed, without his comfort.... but that's just what it's gotto be like. To kinda make up for not having a pet I'm gonna volunteer at the Cinnamon Trust in Soton, which is a trust that helps ill and older people to look after their pets (link: http://www.cinnamon.org.uk/ctrust.html). Really... as soon as I get my own appartment and can afford to have a dog, I'm going to get myself a dog. I have been living without one for my entire life and I can't wait much longer to get one O.o;
Anyway... so here I am, at home in Groningen. I'm going to De Efteling this Saturday and I'm probably going to visit Wendy soon as well. I love being here, doing loads of fun stuff, but I'll be going back to the UK on the 10th of September already, 'cause I still need to do some studying before I start the new academic year. I'll be missing home when I go back to the UK, but at least I'll be back for Christmas and hopefully Nicolette, Alan, Alex and Ollie will also join us then all the way from the USA. hahah that rhymed ^-^
so, thanks to my dad you got a bit of an update again from me.
Leave comments! thnx ^-^

What I did in the past month and Exam RESULTS!!!
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 :)
~xxx~ Fleur
btw. Congrats Lotte! hope you liked my gift and of course that you'll have a great party, LOVE YOU! ^-^

Back in Southampton and no more worries about AstroPhysics XD
Hi everyone,
I thought it's been a while since I last blogged and I know some people are wondering how I'm doing, being here in Southampton again.
My first day back at Uni was absolutely backbreaking.... After a month holiday and way too little revision I was thrown in the deep end (mostly my own fault though) when in the morning I had a double workshop for Organic Chemistry. I'd not been too good at working out mechanisms when we left for holiday, but now I was a total airhead.... O.o; And that was only the beginning.... After the workshop I had to eat really quickly and sit in a lecture theater for 50 minutes awaiting 4 hours of Organic labs O.O This was I think the first time in a lecture where I actually almost fell asleep, OMG! Then after fighting sleep in the lecture I was straight on through to the labs where of course I was the last one out... as always, after a full 4 hours of labs. I crashed on my bed when I got home x_x.
Luckily, though, on Tuesday I only started at 11, so I had quite a good sleep. This time we actually had an hour break before labs so we could calmly enjoy our lunch on the grass and in the sun outside :) In the morning we had Astrophysics, which went okay, especially as he told us our exam results were all between 40 and 88% meaning that we as least got 40% AWESOME! Before labs, in our lunch break, me and Pete went to the Physics building to pick up our Astro problem sheets and exams and I was totally stunned by my result! The problem sheet got 95/105, which I kind of expected, but then when I saw my exam result I couldn't believe it! I got a friggin 81.5%!!! O.O!! I was HAPPY for the ENTIRE rest of the day, even labs couldn't quench my joy ^-^ Even when we got out at 6 after labs (AGAIN) I was still psyched :D
So today it's supposed to be really warm, the forecasts says 21 degrees! Woohoooo :D So I'm gonna sit outside in the sun after my workshop and lecture :) So that was it for now... I need to get some breakfast in me before I go to Uni, but it's probably gonna be a great day ^-^ OMG! 81.5% I still can't believe it!
Love you all!

After the workshop I had to eat really quickly and sit in a lecture theater for 50 minutes awaiting 4 hours of Organic labs O.O This was I think the first time in a lecture where I actually almost fell asleep, OMG! Then after fighting sleep in the lecture I was straight on through to the labs where of course I was the last one out... as always, after a full 4 hours of labs. I crashed on my bed when I got home x_x.
Luckily, though, on Tuesday I only started at 11, so I had quite a good sleep. This time we actually had an hour break before labs so we could calmly enjoy our lunch on the grass and in the sun outside :) In the morning we had Astrophysics, which went okay, especially as he told us our exam results were all between 40 and 88% meaning that we as least got 40% AWESOME! Before labs, in our lunch break, me and Pete went to the Physics building to pick up our Astro problem sheets and exams and I was totally stunned by my result! The problem sheet got 95/105, which I kind of expected, but then when I saw my exam result I couldn't believe it! I got a friggin 81.5%!!! O.O!! I was HAPPY for the ENTIRE rest of the day, even labs couldn't quench my joy ^-^ Even when we got out at 6 after labs (AGAIN) I was still psyched :D
So today it's supposed to be really warm, the forecasts says 21 degrees! Woohoooo :D So I'm gonna sit outside in the sun after my workshop and lecture :) So that was it for now... I need to get some breakfast in me before I go to Uni, but it's probably gonna be a great day ^-^ OMG! 81.5% I still can't believe it!
Love you all!

In JAPAN!
Hello everybody!!! ^-^
Me and Wendy just got to Japan! XD We arrived at Kansai Airport yesterday at 10:16 am Japanese time... for us this was about 2 in the morning... O.o; So we were pretty out of it *-* Nevetheless, we stayed up till 9 o'clock in the evening. We took the bus from Kansai airport to Sannomiya, which was actually really easy. It took us about an hour and then Nicolette picked us up from the bus stop.
We went for a walk and then dinner... I thought... but it was lunch hehehe... JETLAG! ^-^ So we had our first Japanese food, which was great, especially the rice! It's AWESOMELY DELICIOUS :D Then we went back up the hill and up to the shrine next to their house to see the view XD Ollie is SOOO CUTE btw! I'll try to take some good pictures of the kids these weeks, but you'll still have to wait a bit, though :) Unfortunately Nicolette wasn't feeling very well... and apparently Alan was sick last night as well, so they probably picked up a bug on their way back from the US, hopefully they'll feel better tonight.
Wendy and me will go to the cable cars in a little bit, but first Wen is finishing the film of the first day in Japan... will post the link soon! ^-^
Love you all! Will keep you up to date :D
