New Years Concert & Friends

At school, we had a new years concert for our choir. We sang mostly church-like songs, but they were still really nice. In the spring, we're going to Barcelona for a choir competition. I really enjoy the choir, the pieces are sometimes difficult but it's helping me a lot with my music reading skills! A brass band also played after the choir was done singing. It was really awesome to see and I enjoyed the music a lot.

After the concert, I went over to my friend, Agustin's house for his birthday. After we sat there and talked and caught up with everyone, we decided to go into town to a bar. It was so much fun and the music was so good. We stayed there for a while and then walked back to his house. Aysu and I had to take the bikes home. We went back and had a really delicious snack. In the morning, we made a really nice (really healthy) breakfast. I really like going out with my AFS friends, they're great (:
(It seemed everything happened on the 28th of January. My concert, a party with my AFS friends, and my 1 year anniversary with Thomas(:!! )


Every Wednesday, I get out of school at about 1pm. This week, Astrid and I decided that we'd have lunch together in Hasselt. It was a really nice time and we ate really good food. One thing I'm practically obsessed with here is lasagna. I don't know why, but it's the best I've ever eaten. After we ate, we went and walked around the shops.
That night, we watched the movie Rundskop. I thought it was a really good movie. It was actually based in, filmed, and in the dialect of my town that I live in here(Sint-Truiden). It was nominated for an Oscar, but sadly didn't get it.

That Friday, I had to wait for Nienke to get to Hasselt. I had an hour to kill so Ellen and I decided to get a drink. It had just started snowing maybe an hour earlier and it was so beautiful. The snow doesn't really stay for more than a few hours, so we took the opportunity to take a few pictures while it was still really beautiful!

When Nienke was finally in Hasselt, we took the bus to my house and spent the night pretty much just chilling. We ate tons of food (hehe), watched movies, and played games. In the morning, we made a really nice breakfast and then went outside in the snow and took pictures. We went to a little orchard, it was a lot of fun!
