Drakes Going Dutch: It's Been a Long Time
http://drakesgoingdutch.blogspot.com/2011/10/its-been-long-time.html
Wednesday, October 19, 2011. It's Been a Long Time. It has been a long while since I've written anything on here, so this post is mostly for me to document what we've been up to the last couple months.*. I arrived back in the states August 28. I spent the first few weeks resting and relaxing at my grandparents. It felt like a nice vacation. My days consisted of working out, running errands for my grandma, reading, and overdosing on Diet Dr. Pepper. It was lovely! She wanted new pavers around all her flow...

Drakes Going Dutch: July 2011
http://drakesgoingdutch.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 26, 2011. That might be a bit dramatic of a beginning, I doubt anyone else will be as excited as I am about this.}. Guess which new channel we just got here? And that's in English? I am so excited! It actually comes on the same channel that is Animal Planet during the day, but at 18:00 (6 pm), it turns into TLC! Some of the shows are familiar and some are played from UK TLC. As I was flipping through tonight, though, I got a little concerned. Here's the line-up for Tuesday nights. The follo...

Drakes Going Dutch: Unprepared
http://drakesgoingdutch.blogspot.com/2011/08/unprepared.html
Tuesday, August 23, 2011. Today I was caught unprepared. Very unprepared. I went to meet Jay at his school for lunch. We had a quick bite to eat and then decided to go for a little walk before he went back. When we started our walk, we commented on how it was going to rain this afternoon because the sky on the horizon was that dark gray color. A few minutes we decided we better head back. This storm was moving. I didn't make it. Here's how I was unprepared today:. Rained 90% of the days I've been here.

Drakes Going Dutch: Change of Plans
http://drakesgoingdutch.blogspot.com/2011/08/change-of-plans.html
Sunday, August 21, 2011. Jay arrived in the Netherlands in January to work on a 9 month degree program. I stayed in Wyoming to finish my school year. The plan was for me to join him in June and stay with him until he completed his courses at the end of September. So there was some scrambling to the Randall County Courthouse (Thanks, Duane! And scanning, and emailing, but we showed up to the appointment prepared. I arrived on June 12, so my 90 days is officially over on September 9. Jay's classes are ...

Drakes Going Dutch: April 2011
http://drakesgoingdutch.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 30, 2011. It's hard to believe that I have less than a month left of school. The fact that I won't be at my school next year is even more obvious as so many discussions in the lounge and meetings turn to next year. It is such a strange feeling! Strange because I feel left out and a little jealous of my teacher friends who. Where they're going to be next year. Strange because I'm starting to see my school and what we do with a little different perspective.that of an outsider. Now, though, ...

Drakes Going Dutch: Road Test
http://drakesgoingdutch.blogspot.com/2011/08/road-test.html
Wednesday, August 24, 2011. One of the biggest learning experiences we've had since we've been here was navigating the roads in our rental car. We have rented a car twice this summer, and we really enjoyed the freedom that goes with that. Freedom, yes. Familiar? Not so much. It's amazing how different some road signs are, and how helpless not knowing what they mean makes you. Some were pretty self explanatory, like this speed limit sign. What do you think this means? The above means no passing.

Drakes Going Dutch: June 2011
http://drakesgoingdutch.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 30, 2011. As I've been adjusting to life over here in the Netherlands, I've realized that while it's not. Different to life in the States (I'm sure I would be in much larger culture shock in the Middle East or Russia or China or Tanzania), it's. Different. Most of the differences aren't that big, but they do take getting used to. Look at a typical day in my life (during the school year) of drinks. Once at school, I would fill up my 32 oz. water container with tea. I would fill up my. Every...

Drakes Going Dutch: Stateside
http://drakesgoingdutch.blogspot.com/2011/09/stateside.html
Monday, September 5, 2011. Last Sunday morning I woke up in a hotel in Amsterdam and went to sleep at my grandma's house in Iowa. It felt really nice to land on American soil again, but it was bittersweet because Jay still isn't here. It was also bittersweet because neither one of my suitcases made it! They did get here on Tuesday, though {all in one piece} so I'm thankful for that). My day Sunday looked like this:. Up at hotel: 6 am (11 pm Central time in US on Saturday night). To airport: 7:30 am.
