Thank God january is over! :P
Dear
reader,
Gosh, am I
glad that January is over. I have told you I was busy before, but this month
really took the cake. However, before I will get into all that, I am first
going to write a bit about Christmas and New Years! :D
I had a
lovely Christmas. The first day I just spent with my parents, which was as nice
as always!... Except that an ant colony had made its home in our tree and
suddenly started to roaming about when we started to open the presents in the
morning. So whenever I went over to the tree to take up a present I wacked some
ants hahaha. I must say I didn’t feel like it was very much in the spirit of
Christmas (with peace on earth and all that), but what can you do?
I got some
really awesome presents, such as the DVD Arthur Christmas (which is one of the
most fun Christmas movies I have ever seen!), a paperblanks notebook (these are
rather expensive. I use those whenever I go to conferences, so I will always be
able to find the notes I took easily) and a book entitled Writing Death and Absence in the Victorian Novel by Jolene
Zagarovich (I really needed this book for my research). The best gift, however,
was my mom’s reaction to her present: I had gotten her tickets to a New Years
concert by Wibi Soerjadi (a famous Dutch pianist and composer).
