I probably should have started this blog before I left or, at the very least, right after I arrived. However, I'm almost a month in and I'm just now getting to it.
I will say that the first thing I did when I got here was watch "Julie and Julia" on Netflix. That gave me the motivation to blog. Then I spoke with my best friend who lives in Singapore. That have me the motivation to blog about my life here. In Holland.
As I already stated, I'm 3+ weeks into this trip and I think it's going to be a great ride. My work schedule is pretty nice in that I'll be working 12-hour shifts for 7 days in a row and then I'll have 7 days off. Essentially, I can do what I want for 50% of the month.
Here are my goals for the next 6 months.
Traveling:
1. Visit Doctor Who landmarks in the UK
2. Visit every bar/pub/restaurant that Zane Lamprey went to in his show Three Sheets
3. Buy the best engrish t-shirt I can get my hands on.
4. Go to the Belgian version of "Comic Con"
5. Eat A LOT of chocolate, drink a lot of beer/wine, and find the world's best cheese
At work:
1. Learn sign language
2. Teach myself how to cross stitch
3. Maybe take up nail art
4. Figure out how in the world a fishtail braid works
5. Not be bored to tears
Wish me luck!
