Hoi everyone!!

Next day I already left again to go camping with Luna Tik, a student organisation I am (illegally) associated with since the hotel school. :) Was really great and felt good to see everyone again. Today I got back and celebrated my sis B-day with the family. Tomorrow I'll go to the doktor and hopefully scedule a date for an operation on my hernie. And after that, finding a job.
