Almost one month in Amsterdam feels like three months. The days go by so quickly here, yet I learn so much and see so many things every day that 15 hours of being awake feels like an entire week.

Part of me feels like I just flew in from China a few weeks ago. Since I came home at the end of March (with the crazy extended two day stay in Japan when the Fed Ex plane crashed) life has been kind of a whirlwind. I flew in and came back home to Fargo/Moorhead to assist with the flood, then finished the semester, spent a month living out of my car and couch surfing, then moved into a studio on campus and finally into my flat I share with Rory in the North Loop. It feels like there hasn't been much time to slow down, let alone ... read more
