Classes and Planning, Planning and Classes

Things I learned about European schooling:
  • Teachers swear a lot. Heard "asshole" from one professor about 10 times, "bullsh*t" from another 6 or 7 times, and I swear he said something involved both the F word and sh*t again...
  • Apparently, American students respect teachers way more than European students
  • Dutch students don't like hanging out with American students because after 2 hours Americans get too drunk and throw up and can't hold a conversation. #thanksguys
That's kind of it. But it was fun to learn.

Classes were good! I can tell I'm really going to like World Drama. The professor reminds me of a professor back home, Eric Weiss, whom I love. And I get to do a presentation of whatever I want for the class as an introduction of myself, something I do well, so I decided I'm going to sign a song in ASL. Yay!

I'm finally planning trips and buying tickets and booknig hostels! It's exciting and taking some stress off now that I actually have things booked with people I like. Here are the plans thus far:


  • Amsterdam this weekend for the group excursion
  • Bruges
  • London (4 days 3 nights!)
  • Dusseldorf?
  • Staying back to explore the beautiful country I'm in and see a play for World Drama.
  • Spring Break: Madrid, Barcelona, Marrakech
  • Valencia with my best friend to see my family!!
  • Paris? (Oh, it's definitely happening, no worries)
  • Italy?
  • Prague

Long update. First acting class tomorrow! ... And American Night at the Linden! ;)
