Holland Thus Far

So far I've been really busy with school and whatnot to be posting (sorry) so I'm going to catch you up now. School is really hectic even though I only went for 3 days a week this term. Every week we have to write a full essay, read 3 chapters and whatever random assignment my other teacher (whom I call "Sergeant") decides to assign. It makes things more hectic when you leave things a little longer than maybe I should ...
Photos of my canal-side school are coming soon, I'm on my week off.
My mother recently went for Russia leaving me with my, now 15 years old and apparently an adult by his standards, brother. Wow was that fun ... it's not that I don't love him, I tell him I do whenever I leave, even if we're fighting, but he can be a handful ... especially when grocery shopping for. I never thought it was possible for a fridge to be "empty" when it's full of food. I learned quickly that the fridge was empty if there wasn't something he could be eating in a maximum of 2 minutes. I filled the fridge with many quick made meals.
On my mother's return I cleaned the house and allowed her to come home to things like this :

I know my mom will always be happy when she comes home from Russia to a clean house and flowers ... all the rest is secondary. Also here's a picture just for Laurie, it's out of our front window on a Sunday morning:

This place is amazing and I'm so happy that I have my family here to share it with. England on Thursday.

Weekend Wisdom- Sunshine, Peace, Love


I wish you sunshine on your path
and storms to season your journey.
in which you live ...

More I cannot wish you
except perhaps love
to make all the rest worthwhile.
