Sorry sorry sorry. It's been such a long time. I don't even know where to start... and since I don't have any photos right now, there's nothing to prompt my memory!

School's going well. We only have a month to go. I can't believe how quickly time's flying by... it's always like this when you're having a good time!

Freyja left about a week ago, although she didn't venture very far (Amsterdam) and she left behind a bag full of her stuff... so she's making it back to Ghent this weekend and we will be reunited in this beautiful city.

My sister came to visit for two weeks! She's here right now, and we're both staying in my tiny room, sharing my twin size bed. Thankfully, she doesn't kick in her sleep! We've been taking some time to tour Ghent, enjoying the sights, the cafes, the nightlife. Last weekend we actually took a short trip to Amsterdam to visit Freyja for three days (we just can't get enough of that girl!). We arrived in the evening on Thursday, took a stroll through the city, had a late dinner and then headed to the hostel, which was actually about a 45 min drive outside the city centre. Located right on the beach! So on Friday, we rented bikes and took a day trip along the sand dunes... it was, as my classmate would say, the opposite of hell. We had a little picnic on the beach, and then headed back to the hostel for some late afternoon drinks on the patio... Then we had dinner at a fancy restaurant, where we could see the sun dipping into the sea at sunset! Saturday we ventured back into Amsterdam, strolled to admire the beautiful architecture, and then headed back to Ghent on the bus.

This week I've been back at school, so my sister has done some venturing on her own. But in the evenings we usually make it out to a cafe, enjoying each other's company! This weekend looks like it's going to be busy again, so I'm looking forward to it!

Hope all is well with everyone! I will post some pictures as soon as I can...
Lots of kusjes!
