Okies, called Telenet and asked about the Internet. It turns out that they only offer their services to the Flemish part of Belgium. So that’s out. But when I went to see my uncle, I walked past two Internet cafés (one which is on the way to school! No idea why I haven’t seen it before…) so I guess that’s what we’ll be doing until we leave. Not that bad I suppose. Could be worse. No access to the Internet at all. O.O;; So when I go get Jaz from school, I’ll ask if she wants to stop by in there. I might actually get to post this as well! ^-^

Aki gave me an envelope which contained the magazine about Cézanne for Jaz, my bank statement and the letter from UCAS saying that I received an unconditional offer from Aberystwyth (which I knew ^-^). There were also two surprises: 1) a CD for me called “The Heritage of Wales” and 2) money. Could be that it’s to pay the rent. Dunno. I’ll ask when they call us. Tonight I hope. Unless they want to wait another five days before they call again… Then some guy who also works at World Vision gave me this bracelet which says “Make Poverty History”. ^-^ He said that I should drop by their office in Something-upon-something in the autumn when I’m in the UK. My reply: “Okay! Uhm… where is that?” He laughed and said it’s an hour’s drive outside of London. I think the place was called Kingston or something like it. Bad memory.

Before I go get Jaz I should probably put more money onto my Proton card. In case we do stop by the Internet place.

This is an okay CD. Not really what I thought it would be, but it’s okay. I think I prefer the Irish type of music.. this isn’t that far from it though. Now I wanna sing. In a choir. Do universities have choirs? And I want to learn Welsh. I have three years there so it could be fun. Just the basics.. get it to the same level as my French. Which means that I understand it at least somewhat and can get buy in a store or asking directions, etc. ^-^ I can’t wait to tour Wales. See castles/fortresses and stuff. Just soak in the history of the place. I’m just fascinated by old places. Like when my class went on that trip to England, I loved walking around the castles. The only thing I didn’t like about it was being in a huge group. I would have preferred to wander around by myself, imagining what it would’ve been like living there. A bit hard to do that with so many girls around me speaking in French. And then there were all of the tourists… -_-
