Yesterday, my parents and I went to see the Eagles in concert, something I’d been excited about for weeks. And man, did it exceed my expectations!

This week my midterms started, which in my case basically always means a whole load of stress, even if I don’t have that much to do. I do some studying, interspersed with watching YouTube videos, playing guitar and checking my Facebook and Tumblr way too often. It’s all very tiring, really. I’m not even kidding […]

This week was the last week you could order three English novels for 25 euro at what I’d call the Dutch equivalent of amazon.com. I’d been pondering for a while if I should make use of that discount or not, since I technically don’t really have any disposable income (student loans and all that) and […]
