Hey everyone! Thought I'd write an update for anyone who is interested I'll make subheadings like I've seen some of you do, makes reading much easier!

Thesis
Contrary to earlier signals (that's what you get during panic moments) I'm actually doing really well, now that my thesis is mostly written. The deadline is on Monday, I wrote the conclusion yesterday, so now it's just refining. With the help of Zephii, my dad, and Dylan, I think I may be able to produce a thesis without grammar mistakes, so that's something! We have a 'symposium' coming up, and 2 people per major will be selected to present their work. Some second year students have expressed interest in my topic (yayyy) so maybe some people would actually like it if I applied, but I still have a few deadlines and don't know if I'm confident enough to do it. Though it would be good practise I suppose.

Dresses & graduation
Well obviously when graduation is drawing near looking at dresses is way more important than anything else. At least way more fun. I've never really ordered anything online, but I know some of you do it regularly so it can't be that bad... I have a few dresses but I really want a new one. I'll be wearing a cap and gown (excited!!) for most of it so it doesn't matter that much, but I still want a cool dress. I found this one: http://www.newlook.com/eu/shop/women...ess-_342890140 and completely fell in love. What do you think? Anyone experience with ordering from New Look, or recommendations for other stores?

Love
Now that I'm not so stressed anymore, I feel much better. Dylan is leaving on the 6th of June. My parents are helping us move out on the 1st of June, and then we'll stay at their house for a few days. I don't really know if my mom thinks we are together or not. It's been kind of a weird situation. Not bad weird, though. Everything has been amazing these past months, we've had a lot of fun together. We're not officially together again, because the problem of not knowing when we'd ever be together still persists. We've kind of agreed to be best friends, and if either of us finds someone else in the next year then that's what we'll stay. However, if we both decide we still really want to be with each other, we'll continue looking at ways for me to go to the US. I'll probably look for an internship or PhD program if it comes to that, but I've decided to put my 'carreer' first so we'll see what kind of opportunities I get here.

Studies
So in the summer I'll be living with my parents, and then I'll move to Groningen. It's an adorable city all the way in the north of the country, the furthest I've ever lived from home! I found a nice room, in a house with two other girls. My meeting with them was very nice and I was super happy they picked me to be their new housemate. This is my first time of really living with other people, so that'll be interesting! I'm really excited about the master's I'll be doing, religion and the public domain. Have to read four books in the summer, but they should be interesting! I hope to figure out what I want to do with my life when I look for internships, since that's part of the degree.

Summer
Oh yeah, and I'm going on holiday to Tanzania and Zanzibar in the summer! It's my parents' 25 year anniversary next year, so they wanted to do one big vacation with all of us before me and my brother decide we don't want to join them anymore (though who would ever say no to that.... It's expensive!! I might never go there later in my life..). So I've been busy practicing my photography skills because we hope to see many cool animals of course. The travel organization organised a workshop, so now I know my camera a lot better. I'm responsible for the pictures, and my mom makes the book afterwards. So there's a bit of pressure...

Hope all of you are doing well too
