Having had more classes I've realized that I made the right decision studying European Law.
The program is amazing, it truly is a lot of work, but the sporadic class hours make up for that because I have a lot of time to work on the assignments I missed by coming in late and the ones they are passing out now.
The lifestyle does continue to be completely different than in Barcelona, whereas before I enjoyed the girly girl party scene, I now have no other choice than to join the what I like to call "down to earth binge drinking". It's not really like that, but the speed at which Dutch people can drink keeps on surprising me. (Not forgetting to mention I'm not a fan of beer.)
Whereas before the social code included wearing stiletto's and flattering dresses, any type of casual clothing is accepted here.
There is a lot to say about the liberal attitude of Holland, but having been here for 2 weeks I realize that they really are a very accepting country.
Because my apartment is located in the same area as most bars where students go (as a matter of fact theres 2 in my street) I love just sitting in my window late at night, smoking a cigarette observing students stumble home with their beer bottles in their hands, cheering songs laughing enjoying life.
I'm curious to know what life here will bring, and as I was told "never look back".
I'll take that with a grain of salt, because an important part of my life is still in Barcelona.
I guess the stripes on a tiger truly never change.
that kinda must suck, how the customs are just not the same to what you're used to... as in completely different. it's probably good just to go with the flow, and you can always party when you visit. just accept the new things, but there's no reason to get rid of the old.
