I promise myself that I will start treating my master’s program like a full-time job with the potential for overtime and weekends if necessary. Really. =)

I will also start making an honest effort to learn Dutch. My fear of being held prisoner in this country has crippled me from even trying. While I may not be whole-heartedly enthusiastic about this venture, I know that to be truly accepted into Bram’s family I must be able to communicate with them. His mother was right after all. Nonetheless, I wouldn’t be surprised if this latest endeavor in Dutch fluency is going to painful and slow.

And for the first time, the dreary Dutch weather isn’t affecting me as much as it did before. Granted, living in darkness for two more months is not a state I would in any right mind volunteer for. Today, we actually had sunlight.
