Bucket List

At the DOC we had to create bucket lists for the year. I'm trying to have little to no expectations for this year. I want to make the most of the opportunities presented to me and have the best time possible without being let down. That being said, this is a list of things I hope to be able to do at some point this year. I don't want to do all of them, but they all interest me. It feels like a good time to post it because I'm actually starting to feel like I live here, rather than just being here.

Things to Accomplish:
  • Speaking near-fluent Dutch
  • Riding a bike without my hands
  • Doing that thing where you start your bike with your left foot on the pedal and then you kick with your right foot until you have enough momentum to swing your leg over
  • Meeting as many new people as possible, creating worldly connections
Things to see:
 In the Netherlands:
  • Amsterdam
    • Anne Frank House
    • Van Gogh Museum
    • Museum of Prostitution
  • Haarlem 
  • Delft
  • Maastricht 
  • Den Haag
  • Gouda Kaasmaarkt
  • Tulip Festival
  • Carnival
  • As many concerts as possible ;)
Abroad:
  •   Eurotour (should be around June 10th-June 22thish)
    • Netherlands (Amsterdam)
    • Germany (Berlin)
    • Austria (Vienna)
    • Italy (Venice)
    • France (Paris)
    • Belgium (Brussles)
  • If possible I'd also like to see
    • A German Christmas festival
    • Luxembourg  
I don't expect to be able to do everything, but I'm open to every new experience and doing as much as I can. Whether I'm in Giethoorn or Texel or Lelystad, I'll be making the most of it :)

One Week Home

Last night marked my first week home after my year abroad. Coming home was a unique experience. I procrastinated leaving and cried when the plane lifted off in Schipol. I cried again when the plane landed in Rochester, but from happiness. Seeing the Rochester skyline pop up just made me so happy. I cried from sadness to be leaving home, and from happiness to be coming back to it. I won't lie, the first couple days back felt weird. Everything felt so separate from my exchange year and that was difficult to get my head around. My body was running on autopilot. Just muscle memory. Despite using English quite frequently abroad, it was still a shock to my system having everything being in English. Speaking it didn't feel that weird (though I did accidentally slip into Dutch once or twice), but only hearing, seeing, and reading English was strange. It almost felt like my year abroad didn't happen at all. I spent a lot of time with my family this week, which was really im...

Today was a wonderful day, but also a really difficult day for me. I went to school in the morning to see my friends, return my books, and hand in my locker key. My last school day is Wednesday but I had to return everything today. Then I went home where a group of friends (exchange and dutch) came over to hang out, relax, gossip, etc. At the end of the day I had to say goodbye early to one of my closest friends here. I tear up just thinking about it. She’s going on a trip tomorrow and won’t be able to go with me to the airport to say goodbye. We hugged for a really long time without letting go. She is also an exchange student, so we promised each other we’d meet in the middle of our countries. Or maybe I’d go to her. She’s been with me in Lelystad the whole year. We were even volunteers at the same grade school. She became such a good, genuine friend of mine and I can’t believe I’ve already said goodbye to her. I know we will see each other again but it is still so hard. I know the f...

Monthly Report 10: May

Image
I will still skiing in the French Alps when May began. When I got home I was greeted by three lovely new editions to our family: three baby chicks. Though still un-named they've been a delightful additional presence in the house.  As you all should know this month was also Mother's Day, which they also celebrate here. I was blessed with a double-mother's day! I helped my eldest host brother make my host mom a special breakfast. Then the two of us went off on a girls day to an orchid garden. The orchid garden had far more than just orchids however, and also had monkeys, flamingos, lemurs, giant catfish, a butterfly garden, and a parrot sanctuary. It was a wonderful little day. And, of course, I got to make a long phone will the momma #1, the amazed and blessed woman I could never replace. The orchid garden wasn't the only little trip I made this month. My host mom enjoys traveling and is always enthusiastic about taking me to new places. Early in the month...
