Hi everybody!

Or, Dia dhuit!, Bonjour, Gutentag or just 'Hallo' :)

So I've been back 'home' in The Netherlands now, for a bit more then a week. It's quite strange I'd say! First of all the fact that I'm speaking Dutch non-stop, is kinda strange, since there where almost no Dutch people in Ireland. (Ok, it was not soo bad because I was teaching my neighbour Dutch ^^)
At first I had the feeling that I was just visiting my parents for a week, and that I would return to my 'own' apartment in Limerick, a week later. Helaas.

Then the whole point of getting things started again!
It is going quite fast. Already I met my best friend just in the first few days after my return. My mother organized a small welcome back party on the day that I came back, and last sunday my future roommate/friend and my brother organized a surprise BBQ with all of my friends :) It was really nice!

Last monday I took a look at my future house, my soutterain in Groningen.. which you all have to visit of course, and have a 'kopje koffie' with me :)
It is so awesome! the location is perfect, en the house is really cute!

Also I had to bring my cat to the vet, which you already know from my last blog, but I had to bring her a few days earlier then planned. It was really strange, because she was still eating properly, and responding to me, but her sickness, you could see, was just growing really fast. So I had to make a decision, ok you have to die today. Now, when i miss her, I have this image in my had of her in a box dead.. and I made the vet do it. I know, it was better for her but still... Weird.

Last monday I had my first meeting already, so back in Holland, Back to business! I also dropped my CV at some stores in Groningen, so now I hope someone will call me back, to tell me that I have a Job :)
Next friday I will be back 'on air', back to the radio station! Friday from 6 to 8 (Dutch Time, GMT+1 I think?) Ill be onair at 'radio westerwolde'.. Wich i think you can listen to here: http://www.radiowesterwolde.nl/live/live.wax

And after, i'll have another meeting, about this radio program, so the second meeting is also already planned!

Then, I also had contact with one of my lovely German/Irish neighbours, who is coming to Holland in June!! :D:D:D Were going to explore Groningen, meet two other Irish classmates of mine and then go to the beaches of Ameland, wich is one of the Islands of Holland :D Party time!

Ohja, im going a bit from here to there in my story, but yesterday I lit up the fireplace we have in our garden, and had a beer with a few friends of mine:) it was really nice. And yesterday afternoon myself and a friend went to Germany to buy some liquor... a whole bottle (1 litr or somthing) for: wait for it 4.77 euro!!  (which is actually shyte, because before I went to Ireland, it was cheaper haha)

Since my parents and my brother are gone from wednesday till sunday, Today I was really really bored, till i got a text from a friend, asking me what i was doing. 'Nothing' i replied, so we jumped in the car, went to Groningen and had a nice beer (he a cola) on 'sunset dakterras' which is a terras upon a roof! Nice and high, and an awesome atmosphere! Whoop Whoop!
Mcdonalds provided us with some food and now im here again writing this blog :)

Still loads of fun stuf to come: 17th of june, sarah and the others are coming to holland, 1st of july, im going to move to my new housie, 20th of july a friend of mine, from elementryschool/highschool is going to marry! and somewhere around this time i'm expecting more 'Irish/Foreign' friends who will visit me.

I'm probably forgetting to tell you something, but that's no big deal coz then i will have a reason to write ya'll anther blog!
In the mean time, take a look at flickr.com/photos/52882764@N08/ where I posted some pictures of the campfire, and our bar that we made, in our carport.. Awesome! You should check it out here sometime!

Slán!
