Friday I took another way to class and I passed the school's library. There was this flyer that caught my attention. It was about summer courses at the University of California (UC Berkeley, UCLA or San Diego). Damn that would be something for me! It would be über pleasant to follow some summer classes for 6 weeks and really see what the campus life is like. Over here you don't have those big campus's with dorms, sport stadia, big university competitions in American football or basketball... Maybe I can inform myself about it after my first semester's exam results came in. It would just be this great opportunity to study something outside the classic law field plus it would look great on my curriculum vitea.
What is so cool and funky about using English? I mean, yes I often English myself too on pages like Blogger or Facebook, but mostly because my friends don't understand my native language, being Dutch. But I have some people on it that don't have one single native English speaking friend on their page and still they only write English because it is supposed to look "cool". To be honest, it doesn't look cool and especially when it's no English at all. Mostly it is just literally translated from Dutch to English so it doesn't make any sense. I'm not saying my English is perfect, far from, but if you want to act cool, clean up your act first. If not, it looks just foolish.
I was shocked when I listened to the news today. Last Friday, someone murdered the mother and brother of Jeniffer Hudson and kidnapped her nephew. So sad. May their souls rest in peace.
Also Friday Barack Obama quiet his campaign to visit his ill grandmother. Some people say it is a bad thing for him to do because this will give McCain the opportunity to close the gab a little bit more. I don't understand how people can think in terms of percentages when this might be the last chance he ever sees his ill grandmother?! What do they want? Do they want a gladiator as president? One that chooses the elections above the woman who raised him? Is that country still human?! Oh and anyone heard the amount of money the republicans spend on dressing Sarah "pit bull with lipstick" Palin? $150.000! Scandalous!
There is this song called Believe by Voyce Alexander that I have been listening to for some days now. Every time I listen to the lyrics, I have to close my eyes and think about my hubby. I can't imagine how empty I must feel inside if I didn't have him anymore. The world would still be spinning, but something inside me would be missing.

Sunday morning, getting up early
Putting on something casual
I'm not in a hurry
Walking around the streets
Catching a movie
Then back to the real world
Trying to do something
Still life can be lonely
The world is still spinning
Everything seems the same
But there is something inside
So hard to explain
The sun is still shining
And the birds are singing
But I can't deny there is something missing
Still I believe in a thing called love
Forever I believe that someday someone
Will show up and end the war
But I cannot believe that I am not yours anymore
I believe in a thing called faith
And miracles I believe that someday
I will forget what I was crying for
But I cannot believe that I am not yours anymore
Monday evening, sitting at the bar drinking
Getting to the bottom of my glass
Reflecting on the past, I'm thinking
The world is still spinning
Everything seems the same
But there is something inside
So hard to explain
The sun is still shining
And the birds are singing
But I can't deny there is something missing
Still I believe in a thing called love
Forever I believe that someday someone
Will show up and end the war
But I cannot believe that I am not yours anymore
I believe in a thing called faith
And miracles I believe that someday
I will forget what I was crying for
But I cannot believe that I am not yours anymore
