Classes are Over...

Well, I'm done with classes for my junior year. So long as I don't fail the three finals I have coming up, I will have successfully made it to senior year. Who knew? St. Andrews is much different that Colgate when it comes to final exams. At Colgate we get two days to study for four exams, which take place in a span of five days. Here we get a week to study for three, and the exams take place in a two-week period. So really there is an endless amount of time to study. And I am so good at staying on task with endless amounts of time... Oh well.

To demonstrate my commitment to studying, I am going to Amsterdam and Brussels from Tuesday to Saturday. I'm going with Sammi (who is an awesome traveling person and quite possibly one of the funniest people I have ever met) and her friend Annaclaire, who is also studying abroad here for the semester. I'm really excited to go! Hopefully the pesky Icelandic volcano won't get into the way again.

In Amsterdam we are going to take an afternoon to go visit The Hague, which is the seat of the International Criminal Court. I am fully prepared to embrace my inner dork and be really excited about seeing this. But really, it is going to be awesome. Other than that, we are going to visit the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank House and we are going to rent bikes to get around the city. Should be fun.

In Belgium, Sammi found this place that has 2000 different beers on tap. I am excited beyond words. I will definitely update you on the best beers I find. The national symbol of Brussels is a little boy peeing, and there is a statue portraying this in a central square. Pretty awesome. So hopefully we will be able to get out ok and return, otherwise this is going to be quite an adventure.

In other news, Sammi said today that she and I should get a radio show next year. It would be called: "Sammi and Jen rant about stuff." What do you think? Be prepared for the next radio sensation!
