On the way to Amsterdam

2012-02-02 Thursday

Right now we are in the plane to Amsterdam for spring semester. I have been excited and nervous about going. I was excited to live in Europe for four months and to experience something new totally different from Calvin College. In other hands, I was sad that I had to leave all my friends and school behind. Now I feel like I got to be close to all of my housemates and we could have so much fun. This is definitely a bittersweet thing.

I was in a plane to come back to Michigan from being in Korea for the Christmas break and Interim. And a week later, I’m back in a plane to totally different world. There are a few goals I have in mind for this semester. First of all I want to visit almost all the museums in Amsterdam. I found myself enjoying museums and love spending time in the environment. Second, I’ve never had a blog and I don’t really like writing, but I’m going to try write a blog every week and reflect myself what is happening and what I’m learning. And of course, I want to make friends from all over the world. At the end of this semester, I will be excited to read what I have done.

In the Netherlands, all of us are going to have a partnership with Calvin alumni. Annie and I are in one group with one person. We already email her about ourselves and check for a time to meet. She already had in mind to take us to Germany or Belgium. It will be great to know people who lived here for a while and show us around.

I can’t wait to see my apartment, school and where I am going to live for four months.
