Thoughts on the Dutch/Europe

Instead of studying or doing my laundry as I should, I though I'd just post a general update and talk about random things I've been thinking about.
Tusday we went out for international drink, but it cost money to get in, so we all went to the Shamrock instead. I had an Irish car bomb, which was crazy fun, and a dirty girlscout shot. A few people and myself decided we would drink through the shot list at the Shamrock before we left. It should be fun. I had a really great time, talking with people and watching others play pool.

One thing I really like about the Shamrock is that their bathrooms are free. It's crazy how you have to pay to use the bathroom, its no wonder you see guys going on the street. It's varies on how much it is, the most expensive I've seen is 50 cents. I hate it, because I need every penny I can keep.
Also, they have no pennies in the Euro. They have two cent coints, and that's it. I find that, and one/two Euro coins to be odd, and something to get used to.

Today we went grocery shopping (for our lunch meals). They don't have bags for your groceries; you have to provide your own. If you don't have your own, you pay 2o cents for one. I suppose that it saves paper/plastic/whatever in the long run. But the US is such a convenient country, I'm just not used to it.

I have to do laundry today, and I'm going to wash it in the bathtub, by hand. It cost 4 Euro to do a load of laundry, and the washing machines are tiny!

I do have to say that I love the extensive train system, and I enjoy walking or biking everywhere. It is a nice alternative to cars.

It's a Friday night and I'm here studying and doing laundry, how lame is that? I plan to make up for it by going out with Bram tomorrow night, and Sunday night we're having a big Baylor toga party. I bought some rose (accent on the e) wine for the party, since its BYOB (bring your own bottle, 'cause not everyone wants alcohol).

Then Monday is London! Yay!
