Welkom, Linde Last week in far away Amsterdam our family received a new addition. My cousin Patrick and his girlfriend Klaar gave birth to their first child, Linde.

Like Prom, but with a Cash Bar This weekend marked the first of many final celebrations. Lately every event seems to be a countdown. Four more days of class. Three more finals to complete. Twenty days until graduation. Two months until the big move. On Saturday night I had the pleasure of attending Senior Ball, which I suppose is for the most part self-explanatory. While I do love a good ball now...
