The fire alarm goes off in the building during break. Iveta sticks her head out and says, "What did you do people?"

Iveta is crazy! :) We have a few pages of Ivetaisms (although most of them only make sense if you know Iveta).

Well, hello from Utrecht! I realized today that I haven't updated since I left Berlin! Shame on me! :)

So, I am in Utrecht! :) We got in on Monday afternoon and checked in and all that jazz. Our hostel is amazing!! I love it. It is very homey and welcoming. Plus they have a garden and a great place to hang out downstairs where you can get coffee and tea and stuff cheaply! :) The only drawback is that we are in close quarters. I am rooming with 3 other people in a tiny room and will have to move into an eight person room halfway through. But it is a nice hostel.

I LOVE Utrecht. It is a much smaller town then Berlin and is a refreshing change. There are trees and canals and coffee shops everywhere. Plus, the weather is gorgeous! It has been in the 60s and 70s all week, though it did rain a little.

Our classes are more spread out here, so I haven't been to too many lectures yet, though we did have one yesterday on diversity in the women's movement in the Netherlands. It was fairly interesting. We have also had two classes, but my brain is too fried right now to go into any details for that.

Now we have a four day weekend ahead! I'm not sure how that happened, but it will be so nice! I think Julie and I might take a short trip somewhere. I hope we can go to a tiny town somewhere.

Ugh! My procrastination is catching up with me! I have so much work to do now! :) Being in a foreign country makes me not want to do anything but explore . . .

Oh well, just wanted to check in.

Love you all!
