Let's Take A Long Walk


If you've not realized already.....this is my platform for de-stressing. It's funny how the days go by so fast, I was about to write ..How can a Tuesday be so stressful, when the week hasn't fully begun? But then I looked at the little thing on the bottom right of my screen and it tells me, it's already Thursday. WOW..that went super fast..In no time I would be back home in Huissen.
I've realized what adds to this stress, I know I'm making it sound bigger than it actually is....what I'm trying to say is that..Middelburg is soo small and limited..that you don't see more than you've already seen. The space is soo small and can frustrate the hell out of you when you are having one of those days when things don't go your way. ....and tomorrow can't come soon enough.

So, Tuesday after class....was worship night organized by yours truly...There was such a big turn out the last time and honest to God..I wasn't expecting there to be many people this time around, just because I realized the time-period this is..paper deadlines, mid-term exams and the like. We had a great time though, the few people that showed up..it was relaxing....just the thing I needed.
After the worship...I decided to take a long walk....just walk..somewhere..So I did..and it was so relaxing...it was a bit cold but that didn't stop me from discovering some new areas of the not so limited Middelburg....I discovered... well, there's more to Middelburg than the Centrum and the dorm locations...I walked around for about an hour, I could always see the time on our 'Big Ben'.

Wednesday....really..just ran across without me even noticing...I was the time-keeper for one of the debating rounds of the university college debating tournament. In case you are wondering, No...debating is not my thing...I ended up there because I was performing a favour for my housemate, who is a debate enthusiast and was among the organizing team of the whole event today. They didn't have anyone to do the time-keeping, so I thought...hmmm...at this time on a Wednesday..I'll probably be in bed...so it was a good way to get me up and start my Wednesday earlier than usual. So, what were the debates about, you ask? ...hmmm...I was soo busy frantically concentrating at the time, that all the debaters were saying sounded like jabberwocky to me....OK...I would have to be a complete retard to have absolutely no clue of what they were talking about...but it was something surrounding governments bailing out banks and a lot of economic jargon.

oooh...I'm listening to Arrow Jazz FM....."put your money where your ear is" ...How corny?
"Dit is Arrow Jazz FM, Cool Funky Jazz” says the guy on the radio......Radio?..on the Online Radio :).......I'm doing it again...........of course,...digressing is my thing...it's an art...like everything else ,I do it exceptionally well. ....like everything else meaning like my salads :)
Enough with these smileys...you probably didn't even notice them, but I'm so used to instant messaging that I use the colon and bracket to express my facial gesture at that moment the sentence was written. :) ..I also used to, thank God I stopped...I used to write LOL..in the middle of my sentences. There's some stagnant water outside by my window..and smells so rank...if this was the tropics I'd be sick with Malaria by now... It's funny how I almost considered chilling my salad overnight by my window. What's this sudden obsession with salad?

I am sure in your last paragraph you mean "I use the colon and bracket " not column
