Day 9 - Part 2

I'm back,

I went in to an internet cafe to wait for the rain to stop, and when I got out it actually had stopped (unlike all my expectations). Everyone was running towards the river so I guessed the fireworks were about to start, and I went to the hostel to get my camera. I went to the fireworks with two English roommates, and this was unlike anything I'd ever seen back home. In Holland fireworks at new years eve is a big uncoordinated mess. But here, it was beautiful. Everything was synchronized and the fireworks were larger and louder. I really can't describe it, but I've got it on picture and video, so you can all see it when I get home.

About home: I think my best option is to be home tuesday night instead of friday, when my card expires. First of all, my school has come up with one of the most stupid things they have come up with so far. Instead of using the monday for the students to collect their books, as it has always been for years, they've decided to use the friday before. So everyone who's on holiday has to get home early to get their books for the next week at the break of dawn. Second reason is that my sister is unable (and other sister, as it seems) to get the books for me. Third reason is that my mom will be gone on friday, and last but not least, I'll want to go to the glider airfield on saturday, I haven't flown in about a month and I'm in desperate need of a pair of wings and a tail.

So tomorrow I'll take the the IC to Prague, that'll take all day, and in Prague I'll have my own room. Next day I'll be exploring Prague and the day after that I'll take the train back to Amsterdam, for 9 hours of sleep and then I'll have to go to school, something right now I really don't even want to think about..

I'm going to take a shower and finish my book,

Hey Byron, You really got me laughing and boy did I need a good laugh. I'm so glad you enjoyed the fireworks and as always, really glad that your doing so well. I'm really looking forward to seeing your photo's, hope you've got loads of photo's. I hope you enjoy Prague, your dad says that it's a lovely city. And by the way, I really do agree with you about school. I think it's just toooooooo much that they shortened the holiday, but don't worry about picking up you books, your dad is going to help with that. I hope you have great weather Saturday for your flying.
As always, love and kisses Mam
