I'm leaving Utrecht a week from Thursday to go to Israel. I'll be coming back for a couple days in January, but those will be dedicated to packing. Then it's back to the states, and I'll immediately be immersed in classes, job interviews, blah blah.
I'll miss the friends I've made here. They're from all over the world--I mostly hang out with a Hungarian girl, who studies film and likes good music, and writes down everything in her agenda. She's so organized, but it's cool, not neurotic. We went to Paris together, hopefully we'll travel together even after this semester is over. I want to visit her in Budapest, and she wants to come to the US and we'll take a road trip.
I also hang out with a group of French people who go to university in Lyon. One of them, Clemence, is hysterically funny, the way she words things is great. For example, we had a paper due for our feminism class, and she was talking about how she wrote a bunch of crap just hours before it was due, she even forgot to translate one quote back into English from French so it will be completely incomprehensible to the professor. She concluded her story by saying emphatically..."It was a big shit."
She's dating a Dutch guy who works at a bike shop, we call him "the biker shop."
I also hang out with people from Barcelona including an attractive fellow who plays soccer professionally in addition to taking classes, a bunch of rowdy Australian people who had a "no pants" party last week, a girl from Dublin who is also studying English literature, a very interesting Dutch girl who reads a lot and thinks a lot and seems much more mature than 21, and of course the other Americans.
People here are so interesting and inspiring.
