Today was a completely normal school day during which we had to work hard with our project group. Since everything really needs to be finished by the end of January and we are a bit behind, we started the catch-up race. Hopefully, it will still work out, but I have confidence in it.

Today I had a day off from school, so I traveled to Amsterdam early to train in the Modelhouse with Dennis. My body is progressing very well in a positive way. I know again why I leave those frikandellen aside and why I am living healthily every day. By 2:00 PM I was already done, so I went for a walk through Amsterdam with Daan. That was fun despite the cold weather. I am already longing a bit for summer again.

Today I only had half a day of classes and it wasn't just any lesson. We had a practical lesson, or actually: only the performers had that. You can choose a direction between design and execution with us. Since I don't want to continue studying and it doesn't matter for your diploma, I chose execution. This way I still have the practical lessons that I enjoy so much! We are making a roof structure, but of course on a scale, otherwise it will never fit in the classroom, haha.

Unfortunately, we received less good news at school, namely that the whole class did not pass the oral exam. This means that our project group is not the only one that has to work very hard. I cooked nicely at home in the evening for them and they loved it. It was a recipe from Dennis, our dad even said: ’If you had a female personal trainer now, she would have gotten a kiss!‘ Sorry Dennis, not you, but it's a good sign.

Unfortunately, we haven't celebrated Sinterklaas for 2 years now on December 5th. We are going skiing at Christmas, so I am looking forward to that. A friend of mine can come along too.

Tonight I am going to have a nice evening with my friends and I haven't made any plans yet. Maybe I should do something for school over the weekend...
