WOW I'm bad at updating.
Let's see, what do I have to say. Plenty, I'm sure. I also have pictures, but I don't feel like bumping all the way downstairs in my cast to get my memory card. Yes, cast. I suppose that's one update: I broke my foot. Yess, go Lizz. I was jumping on the back of one of my friends' bicycles when I hit my foot on something. No, I did not get it caught between the spokes. No, I did not fall. Actually, I stayed on the bike and we kept going; I was just complaining that I had hit my foot on something. I figured it was just going to be a little bruise, but hey, not so much. When we stopped, we discovered that my shoe was full of blood and my foot was covered in it. Yeesh. Hobbled over to a restaurant, where the maître d' was very kind and washed my foot with vodka before wrapping it in napkins and tape. Ahahahaha. We figured nothing was further amiss and continued hanging out, until I realized an hour and a half later that the stupid thing was still bleeding. Yeah, SWEET! Trip to the hospital? I think so. The hospital people this time were really unpleasant and spent the entire time talking about money this, fees that, bills here there and everywhere. More time talking about money than actually caring what was wrong with me, really. The doctor who first examined me was really not a nice person, she sort of looked at my foot scorningly and said "Well, it's not broken, but if you REALLY want us to take a picture"--read, X-ray--"we will. Not needed, though." This even though the other doctor said that it was clearly broken, as I couldn't walk on it. X-ray taken, and what do you know? BROKEN! This means crutches and wheelchair everywhere until the end of next week. Actually this has had amusing consequences. Julia and I took a wheelchair walk in the neighborhood on one of the nice days right after I broke my foot. We went out in Wageningen and Guus pushed my wheelchair home on the bike path at a run because he was going to be late. Took a wheelchair and crutches for an ENTIRE day through AMSTERDAM! New perspective, you know. =]

Religion lessons this quarter are entirely devoted to creationism vs. evolution. Oh boyee! Julia is freaking right out, but I'm pretty at peace with it. It's okay to see what "the other side" has to say about things, even if it's just for the entertainment value of laughing quietly later. =P

My host dad got back yesterday from a month in Thailand. Seems that he had a good trip. He was there to help a Thai university set up a banana-genome project of some sort, I don't know. He cooked Thai food for dinner tonight, which was pretty delicious, I won't lie.

I'm sure I had more to say, but it is now shower time. Email me if you so desire. =]
