I leave for Belgium in the morning. I am so excited. My flight over is going to be a long one. I went for the cheapest student airfare I could find, which means I'm making a few stops along the way: Toronto, Newark, Copenhagen, and then finally, Brussels. I'm going to be exhausted by the time I get in, but I'm counting on the adrenaline to keep me going. I start the Dutch language course bright and early the next day, so my plan is simple: find my new place and go to bed early... but I might do a little bit of exploring, take some pictures of the neighbourhood to share with you.

It's been an amazing last weekend in Ottawa... it all started with a UPS package. My Corp Comm class sent me a going away present: a Seneca hoodie, and a card signed by all of them! It was so sweet! They're such a great group of people, I am so happy I got to meet all of them...

And thanks to everyone who came out last night! It was the best surprise party ever! Thanks Mom, Ania, you totally got me. I had so much fun, and all the gifts, cards, wishes are very much appreciated!!! I am one lucky girl to be surrounded by so many amazing people. Thank you to all my "Aunts" and "Uncles"! The homemade doughnuts were to die for, and the cake was a piece of art! And thank you to all the "gang" (for lack of a better term), you guys are the best! I will miss you very much!

Well, I'm going to finish packing and try to get some sleep. I'll be in touch soon!
