May already?
Got up, got ready, and was in Brussel around 1230. Met up with Kate, the other girl from my district that's in Belgium. Spent the whole day just talking and hanging out - it was nice to do that again, I've missed long conversations like that. When we sat down for lunch, we were in front of this little fountain just because there were no people there. So, we got out our food, and then bam! tour group around us. It was in German, so I didn't really understand, but it was pretty awkward. When I noticed the guy talking about the fountain, I did the whole Price is Right showcasing thing, which a few people in the tour seemed to enjoy.
Came home, did a bunch of emailing for the Norway trip (gotta get it ready, it's in like 2 weeks...), read a bit more, had some of the last of my soup I brought, and now it's time for bed. Slaapwel!

Day 267
Maandag, 30 April 2012
No school! Woke up later, watched TV and movies, read, and then went to see Heidi's brother's horses!! Didn't ride, just pet them, but that was a lot of fun. One of them kept trying to grab things in his mouth (so, biting, but not with bad intent), and I know he got my hair at least once. (But dad, the scratch and sniff was broken on this one - couldn't smell it, and when you tried to get close he tried to nip your face).
Went back home, did more hanging out and busy work on the computer (getting stuff ready for summer semester, putting stuff in one place for applications, etc). Then, went to the fanfare place to look at photos from their trip to Germany from a while back. Man, that looked like fun. I wishwishwish I could go to Austria, but there's really no way to make it work. I mean, yeah, if I did a benefit and raised a bunch of money I could, but in the end I think it's not worth it. Once I get home I'll need to go up north and get used to life in the States before classes (and job hunting) starts up. If I did Austria, I'd come home, go to the family reunion the next day, and then be at school like 4 days later.
So, to make it not even a possibility, I've gotten really close to getting the Norway trip to work, and my friend from MN who is also in Belgium wants to do Ireland, which we've found could be cheap (if you do it our way). And both of those trips combined would still be cheaper (by like $500) than Austria. Soo, yeah. It sucks, but I guess I'll just have to come back another time to make up for it (once I get money again, so in like 20 years).
Went home fairly early (for a fanfare night), went to bed.
