Last week was a bit exhausting because I got sick midweek. It was just a cold, but it really knocked me out on Friday. I went to class Friday morning, but after an hour and a half my friends forced me to go home. They took notes (I think). That's what friends are for. But I only missed the last hour of our module on economics, project management, and statistics. Next week we go back to the lab, though I'm not entirely sure what we will be doing since the module is entitled "Process Technology."
It's amazing what a day in bed and some sudafed can do. I did some studying and washed lots of dishes. Though it took a bit of convincing, I managed to make it to the bar Friday night. It was the first time that most of my friends (we were missing a few) were able to get together since classes started up last week. Our favorite bartender was there (as you can see Giorgia reaching for him). He mentioned that he was in film school and doing a documentary course. He had seen us together last month and had found out that we were international students and would like to do a film on IHE and international students living in Delft. Hmmm, maybe I'm destined to be a star...
On Saturday I played football again. I really felt so much better after my casual Friday. This week we played outside, so I got to wear the boots I've had since I was 15, rather than my sneakers. They still fit, but I got some blisters in some really strange places from them. Maybe it was the socks. Anyway, it was cold and windy, but fortunately not rainy. After two hours I was exhausted, and sore from a direct shot to the chest (which could have been avoided, though that's up for debate), but of course we went out for a beer afterwards. Well, not really out, we had a few beers at the bar at the TU-Delft Sports Center. I wish the gym at Duke had had a bar. It had a juice bar, but that's not quite the same. At TU you could get a pitcher of beer for €6, probably subsidized for us poor students. Football and beer is a wonderful way to waste a Saturday afternoon. And engineering economics is a horrible way to waste a Saturday night.
