Random thoughts

Maaike is back

I'm not at school, though I should be. I had to go to the doctor first.
My mom wants me to go to school, even if it's just for one hour. She forgets it takes an hour to get there and I really hate the bus.

Next weekend I'm going to a friend in Houten. Houten is a small town near Utrecht, but I guess most of you never heard of any town here but Amsterdam, which isn't like most of you who never been there will imagine it. But back to the subject of next weekend.. I know the guy now for three years, he's the ex of Nienke. For some strange reason I didn't keep in touch with Nienke, but did keep in touch with her ex.
Because I have no car or drivers license (you have to be 18 for that) I can't get anywhere. Mostly I'm going by bus or train, but the town I live in has no train station and it's getting pretty expensive to travel much. So I have to do it with my phone and online contact when I want to speak to people who live more then 20KM away.

I heard there are almost no bikes in America and other countries. It's hard to imagine. Every place that is less than 20KM away I can reach in an hour on the bike. There are special roads for the bike almost everywhere, we have no mountains or hills, it's very flat around here so it's easy riding. Almost everyone in Netherland owns a bike.
Is it really all that different in other countries? Let me know..

I want to travel the world! When I finish school I want to go to the university and when I finish the university I'm going to make a trip around the world. Or at least visit some countries I never been before!


A friend once told me that I'm still a kid. He's 22, has a house of his own, lives together with his girlfriend, has a good education and a good job. He used to tell me I'm still young, still a kid, don't know nothing about the world. He told me that I would never get anywhere if I stayed the way I were back then. He always talked me down. Now, he says he's happy we're still good friends.
I won't let him talk me down no more and he finally admits his life ain't perfect. I wouldn't want to settle down at that young age...

Well, I'm going to light my cigarette now and do something more interesting then posting random thoughts on here.
