I Want to Ride My Bicycle


I got a bike! It was spray painted bright green and pink, and it was love at first sight. It's got handbrakes, a light and reflector, a bell, and a chain cover. It was €50 for the bike, and an extra €10 for maintenance. I just need to buy some spray paint to touch up the color and a basket for the back and I'm set!

I don't think I've ever been so happy. I hopped on my bike and flew through Amsterdam with a fat smile on my face, like I was a little kid again. I'm going to miss my bike when I leave Amsterdam, I really wish I could take it back to San Francisco with me.

I finally got my class list, and I'm only in classes 8 hours a week. What a relief! I thought I had classes every day. The University of Amsterdam is very unorganized, and the way you choose classes and your schedule is impossible. You email the University what classes you would like to take, then they choose your schedule for you and email you "timetables" of the classes. Then you have to navigate around the website to find your class list and timetables.

I can't believe I start school on Monday, I feel so unprepared. I don't want to go to school, I just want to travel and ride my bike around the city!
