So far … so good

Yeaahhh! I just found out I passed my Spanish exam! I am so happy because it did not go very well. Now I only have to wait for the feedback on my thesis and I will know if I can graduate! But let’s not think about my thesis right now, I am just extremely happy!

Last weekend I went to Concert at Sea, as I told you in my previous blog. My boyfriend joined me which was very nice. It was all the way in Zeeland (a Dutch province pretty far from were I live). Although the weather forecasts were not very good, I was very excited. On Friday, several Dutch artists performed. The main act was Anouk, and she sang songs or 1.5 hour! I loved the show, the sphere and her voice. After that I went back to the hotel I stayed.

The next morning, we went to a little market in a village. The sun was shining and we were looking forward to see the other artist. However, I got a call from a friend who told me that Concert at Sea day 2 was cancelled! At first, I did not believe it. So, we checked the internet and, unfortunately, it was cancelled due to the bad weather. It would have been very nice to do the interviews with the Dutch performers.
This week, I started my first week as a ‘freelancer’ at Margriet.nl. Nothing really changed with that. Of course once I will see my first pay check, I will be very happy: a normal salary instead of an intern payment.
Okay, coming Friday I will have my thesis feed-back, I will tell you all about that in my next blog!

Cross your fingers!

First of all: I am sorry for the long lasting silence! But the last weeks have been very hectic and I simply did not have the time, nor the energy, to write an update in this blog.

Now….some good news: I finished my thesis! Hurray…hooray! I handed it in today and it feels like a huge relief!

This week, I also tried to study for two exams: Spanish and the European Union as a global actor. However, last weekend, I got ill and I was not able to study till Tuesday morning. This was stressing me out since I really have to pass one exam in order to be able to graduate in July. Sadly enough, my Spanish exam did not go as well as I hoped. I mixed up some grammar and I do not have a good feeling about it. The other exam, which I had today, was also pretty difficult. The most frustrating thing right now is waiting for the exam results. I asked both teachers if they could send me the results as soon as possible. Both of the lecturers want to do that but they only might know the result next Wednesday or even later that week. I really wish I could know it right now…so....Cross Your Fingers pleaseee :D!

So, you think I am partying already now that I am (almost) done with school? Uhm…NO….I wish though. I have to finish my placement report 3 coming week and I still have my internship. Tomorrow is my last day at Sanoma Media as an intern. Monday, I will start working there as a freelancer . The plan is to work there 2 weeks in July (the other intern is going to work the other two weeks) and after that they will tell us if we can stay in August as well.

Coming weekend is going to very fun! I am going to Concert at Sea where popular Dutch bands and singers will perform two nights in a row! On Saturday, I will have to interview some of those performers, like Jaqueline Govaert, Ilse de Lange, Blof and De Dijk. For Margriet.nl, I have to write some articles about it. I am really looking forward to this experience. Pretty great, isn’t it? I will write about it soon!!
