Today I officially left my appartment in etten-leur and moved to diemen. For the last week or so I stayed at my boyfriends place in Breda and drove back and forth between etten-leur,breda and diemen. I think I got used to adapt myself to new places, I really thought I would have trouble leaving my appartment ,but I didn't. It actually feels really good. The hardest thing to do was moving all that stuff I have.. it took allot of effort and i'm just really done with moving itself. If I think about moving in the future it allready gives me the chills.. but I know I have to move at least one more time.. not going to stay forever in a studentroom :p. But let's not think about that right now.
Today I had a meeting for my job in de city centre of Amsterdam, so I had to bike to the city for the first time. It was surpisingly easy to get to the centre, the only thing I had trouble with was finding a good spot to stall my bike. EVERYWHERE I looked were bikes. It looked like the whole city was stalling his bike. I now truly understand why the Netherlands is called the 'bike country'. Never did I see so many bikes in one place!
I finally found a place near the rembrandt museum, on a brigde I put away my bike. I also did park it here because I could easily find it. After the job meeting I looked around in the city, shopped a little bit and found a new backpack, not the one I really wanted like I showed in the last post but another. This one was allot cheaper because I can't afford the one I really want right now..and I really needed a new one quick.
After that I really wanted to head back to diemen because I was becoming tired and hungry. On my way back on the bike I took a different route to diemen and came across so many pretty houses and parcs. I used to think Amsterdam was so scary, big, crowded, ugly.. but that's not the case at all. Amsterdam is actually really pretty, it just depends on where you are. I also saw allot of stores in the centre I never saw in my life, vintage shops, cool kids stores, a store with alternative clothing, I saw this brand 'disturbia' in the window, totally going back there! Also saw a store with spiritual things, like dreamcatchers and things like that. Can't wait to figure all that stuff out, today I just walked by and tried to remember the streets a bit. I also saw the 'prinsengracht' again and instantly wanted to go to school. I really can't wait for it to start! Amsterdam is 'growing' on me. I see why people say it is a lively city. It just is. It's almost unexplainable.
When I got back in diemen I did some grocery shopping at 'deen' supermarket, never heard about that supermarket so I gave it a shot. They sold some meat which didn't have 'e' numbers, it stated that it was healthier and hey it was on discount so why not. Tried the 'veggie' one and it was tasty :) I think the deen supermarket is more targeting 'bio' foods which is totally trending right now. I also try to eat and drink more healthy, which is hard sometimes because I really love eating chips.. 8D
Back at the appartment in diemen, the first day I really officially live here. Not really feeling weird or anything. I just wonder how I will deal with the distance between me and my family/boyfriend on the long term. I will totally going back and forth by train, it's on a 3 minute walk from the appartment, which is super awesome. I just hope I will have enough time to see them. Offcourse I made this decision knowing I would be farther away and possibly don't have allot of time left... and maybe in the future I won't need to miss him. But that future seems so far away and everything is unknown right now, it's scary. But I'm convinced we will survive this and it's neccesary to go through. This feels like the chance to work on the future I want, for us, now or never.
