Dear readers, (I’ll just pretend that I have readers apart from my mum and dear boyfriend)

I’m sorry I have been neglecting this blog lately. Senior year is busy! I spend most of my time on school and the parts that I have left are filled with work and the boyfriend. But it feels as if school is taking up more and more of my time. So, a little update:

I’m working on my final thesis these days which is about Chinese fairytales. I’m in charge of the fairytale part and for that reason I’m reading the work of a Russian professor called Vladimir Propp. I have found that this is perfect! The book is about defining and classifying fairytales and it digs deep into literature, history and culture. And these are the three things that I absolutely adore! I love working on the thesis but it also takes up quite some time. It’s due next month so I’m really busy with that.

Next to that I’m also catching up maths. Things are going quite well. I’ve had one test today and another tomorrow and after that I’ll only have to do one chapter and then I’ll be a full Wiskunde A-person!

Also, I’m doing a lot of fun stuff. I had a shoot with a band, Birds Eye, recently and I’ll post the pictures on my blog. Personally, I think they turned out quite well and the band was so much fun to work with! Music is filling my life too, these days. I’m preparing for a school performance next month as well as a concert from Next Generation in March.

So business all over the place! And I didn’t even mention the cool part just yet. I’ve sent my letter of application and all the other stuff that goes with it to The Roosevelt Academy and I have been selected for an interview! So, the 16h of February, I’ll be off to Middelburg, speaking for half an hour with a board, explaining why I should be admitted to that school. Pretty exciting, right?

Well, I’ve got to get going and study some maths! I’ll try not to ignore this blog as much as I did recently..

Love,

Inge
