Got to get some Foucault done that even our teachers warned us about. It is supposed to be pretty hard literature so I'm bracing myself to whatever I may encounter while reading this. This whole month we got only one course, 'the Philosophy of Science. The University likes to call this kind of studying 'Intensive Studying' also know as: we're going to teach this course in three weeks whilst otherwise you would've had this in eight. I only have to attend University eight hours a week. On monday and wednesday we got two hours of lecture and on tuesday and thursday we have two hours of class in which we discuss the things told in lecture. You're supposed to study about 32 hours at home, next to these eight hours. Goodbye to my social life, but it's only till the end of January. We'll end this course with an exam on the 30th.
It's pretty nice to notice that my four year of Philosophy in highschool are coming along really well this course. I don't find it hard, it just has to be done. Everything I hear sounds familiar and it's only a matter of brushing up my knowledge. And I also start to realise how much I actually still love Philosophy. It's almost a shame we only got this course for three weeks. I could do this all year long.
Here's the playlist that getting me throught my literature. Back to the books now, adios!

Day Ten
One thing you want to say to everyone
The final day! I've made it through ten days of challenges and I succeeded. I loved doing this and I appreciate all the people supporting me and my blog. It really is heartwarming to hear all the positive comments and it really keeps me motivated to keep on doing this. And I will keep on blogging! As of tomorrow I will go back to regular postings. Back to my daily life again.
I guess I would like to say; Thank you! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog, to comment and to spend your valuable time on this page.. It is very much appreciated! :)
This quote is one of my favourites. I heard it a long time ago already and ever since it keeps reminding me of the fact that you don't always have to succeed in order to be of value. Succes is not always needed. Failure can just be as valuable. It's all about learning. That brings me to another quote: 'Failure is succes if we learn from it'. You will succeed in life, we will succeed in life. Just keep going strong. Keep your head up high and keep moving forward. Keep dreaming and don't lose faith. It'll work out in the end. Everything will be alright. Take care.Song of the Day

Day Six
Five qualities of your ideal boy
Loyalty - Everyone should have this quality. Luckily most people do, especially towards their loved ones. It makes a person trustworthy, and trust might be just as important as loyalty in a relationship.
Love - Goes without saying.
Attitude - Attitude towards life, towards other people, towards anything really. Have an opinion about things. Disagree with others at times. Not just 'YES' to everything. Sometimes he needs to make you work for what you want. Instead of giving you everything you ask for. A strong independent person, with an healthy, positive attitude towards life.
Smart - I guess I'd like him to be smart as well. We're talking about relationship-material here, not babysitting a two-year-old. If he doesn't know about anything in this world it's probably not going to work out. I'm not talking smart as in educational. You can also be smart because you've been through a lot, seen lots of places or just have a clear mind. It makes a person interesting.
Smell - And last but certainly not least. When a boy smells good, oh man. Makes loving just that much more easy.

Day Four
Seven dreams you want to achieve
Get rich of memories - Says it all. I hope I will never lose my precious memories and I hope I will keep making more and more. You get more memories every day, but some are special. The special ones stick to you like glue. I hope mine never let go, and that only more good ones will add to it!
Actually finish my study - After taking two years off, I'm actually starting University in September. I think I chose the right one. I'm excited to start and to discover what more life has to offer. If all goes well it should take about four years for me to finish my study. And after that, I'm going to take over the world. Easy as that, so better be prepared.
Never stop travelling - Travelling is one of the greatest things a human being can do. Fortunatly I've seen so much already, but I want to go see so many more places. The world is right there, at your feet. Ready to be discovered. Travelling might not be as easy for me next year as it is right now because of University but hopefully I still get to travel during my study. And for sure I will be travelling again when I'm done. Hopefully to places where I can mean a difference to people because of my education. I'm hoping my study is giving me a chance to do in-field research all around the world, which means even more travelling and giving something back to the people that aren't as fortunate as us.
Get a job that doesn't feel like a job - As I said, I hope I can do research all around the world about how people and their cultures work. I want to give back to the people that aren't as fortunate as most of us. I don't care about getting rich or driving an expensive car. I just want a job, that I don't mind going to when I wake up and one that doesn't keep me from travelling. I don't want to be working just to earn money to be able to travel. I want a job that needs me to travel, to go see different places all around the world.
Win my fights - Of course, everyone always wants to win. That's the reason you're competing right? I want to win my fights, and I'm going to work for it. It will probably be worth it in the end. Hard work pays off, said that many times before but it's true!
Be happy and be or become a good person - I guess everyone wants to be happy. I am happy right now and I hope I will be for the rest of my life. I don't want to have to try my whole life to be happy. The good things in life come in small packages. Learn to appreciate small things in life and happiness will come right to you. I strive to be a good person as well, not always as easy as it may seem and I'm still learning everyday. But again, that's what life's about right?
Live in a place that has a warmer climate than Holland - this one doesn't need an explanation. I do much better when I'm in a warmer climate. I need to move to a place somewhere beneath the equator. I don't know where yet, but that'll come to me.

Day Three
Eight people you treasure most
Today's challenge is a tough one. I didn't have to think twice about who means the most to me. It's explaining why that's really hard. These people know I care about them very much and I feel it's a little inappropriate to put things online about people that mean so much to me. So for today I'll just present a list of names, these people know I love them. These are the ones I treasure the most:
Mom, Dad, Tessa, Sophie, Jeferson, My trainers, Grandparents, Buddha

Day One
Ten adjectives to descrive yourself
Caring - I try to take care of my loved ones. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's hard. But if someone needs caring, I will try my best to be there for that person in the best way I can at that moment.
Loving - Every person owns this quality. For some it might come easy, others might struggle with this. For me, most of it comes easy. I love certain people and those people know it. It comes naturally. Sometimes I have to work a little harder. But I will always try to be a loving person. I will always respect people's dignity. Everyone deserves a chance. If they screw it up themselves, it's out of my hands. I try to do the best I can, still learning on a daily base.
Loyal - Loyalty, I think, is something everyone should have. It's not easy to be loyal. It's easier to mess things up and I have certainly learned from things in my past. I'm still learning every day and I always find that loyalty is one of the strongest things a person can carry. It builds character. A loyal friend is probably a good one, one you should always treasure.
Honest - I will always try say what's on my heart. Give my honest opinion, even when that means it might hurt someone a little. I will not try to hurt someone on purpose but sometimes the truth stings. That said, I will also be honest if I really like something. I will show appreciation and say what's on my mind.
Courage - I've never been a pussy. I have almost no fears. There's not much I wouldn't do. Call me courageous, call me crazy. I would never do something without considering the possible consequences , but if the consequences aren't too bad, you'll probably see me go. You only live once right.
Rich - I'm rich bitch, and I'm not talking about money. It's about memories, things shared with other people. Things I've seen, came across, witnessed or took part in. I'm rich of experience and this will only get more. I will never be a poor soul. Well, only if amnesia doesn't hit me.. But then we've still got the pictures!
Smart - I'm blessed to be able to have the opportunity to attent University in Holland. I worked hard to be able to and even though I took two years off of studying to go travelling instead, I will be going back to school. University starts in September and I will be attending it.
Perseverance - I'm a fighter, literally but also at heart. I don't like to quit. I might not like the way of how to get something done, and I might complain about everything I have to do but you will not see me quit. Not now, not ever. If the goal is set, it's there to be reached. Better work for it and don't give up.
Strong - I'm strong for a girl, I punch hard. But I also got a strong mentality. I've been through stuff that build me up strong. I've seen things in my daily life, at my jobs, among my friends and in places which made me strong at heart. People tell me I'm a strong person. Sometimes you just have to hold on. Stay strong, make them wonder why you're still smiling. I'm still smiling, that's for sure.
Caring - I try to take care of my loved ones. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's hard. But if someone needs caring, I will try my best to be there for that person in the best way I can at that moment.
Loving - Every person owns this quality. For some it might come easy, others might struggle with this. For me, most of it comes easy. I love certain people and those people know it.

Stresslevel: UP
Yesterday contained way too much stress for me. We all know that when something bad happens to someone or something you love, you are most likely to get stressed out. You feel bad, you wish you could do something to make it better or you wish this bad thing didn't happen at all. Yesterday was my day to wish I could do something to make things better. For a couple of days already my cat wasn't able to eat like he normally does (how much love I've got for my cat, he only has one love in his life; food) so we had to take him to the vet to see what was wrong with him. Almost immediatly she stated he needed to get some surgery done on his mouth to remove a couple of teeth which had been causing an infection. We had to leave him and we could pick him up in the evening again. Surgery is never without risk so I was a little scared something would go wrong. Luckily after a couple of hours the vet called to let us know everything went really well and he should probably make a full recovery. We picked him up but he still wasn't fully awake from the anestatics, which made it pretty hilarious watching him walk around the house like a drunk person (I know, I'm probably going to hell for laughing at this). One day has passed now and it looks like he's making a good recovery. At least he's got his love for food back..
Some people may think; all this for a cat? But this is not just a cat. This is my buddy. Animals have unconditional love. They will always love you, no matter what (well, in this case, as long as I feed him..). It's no secret I have a good bond with my cat, he cheers me up, he wakes me up, and he has a way of looking at me like; hey whatsup. Always a little friend at home. When things like this happen it stresses me out. I'm just really happy my buddy is doing well again. That's it for today. More posts on its way.
