Not really scared, but that's the only word I know at the moment. In just a half hour, I start my first cafe job in an effort to make leaps and bounds in my Dutch. :)

I've already been to the library this morning with Mouloud. We had a nice time going over werkworden and putting them into tenses and sentences. Our exam isn't for another couple of weeks, and apparently it's quite easy, but he's the sort that wants to excell, so I'll attempt to excell as well.

As I start thinking about working here in Belgium (not just the cafe job) I start thinking about how to organize my time. I'm looking forward to having to organize it better and thus get more done (the same amount done) in much less time than it currently takes me. Now I can take all day to simply take a shower, get dressed, and be productive, but soon (hopefully) I'll have to cut that time in half and still find time to work on the occasional art project, read a book, and spend time with Eva.

June should prove to be a test of my inner strength, motivation, and problem-solving ability. I'm actually looking forward to it, as I can already invision the work still ahead of me as well as the knee-deep-in-work that I'm currently doing. Just taking last year's journal and formatting and fixing it into a printable format has taken more than a week. (I'm still working on it)

Unfortunately, this journal has been moved to the backburner, and actually so much has happened in this week alone, that I've practically been busier this week than last week. This is actually a good thing, as I haven't had to spend any money that we haven't had. Even going to Brussels by car yesterday saved us about 15 Euro. If only the people had still voted Green...maybe that would change. ;)

More later when I see if I'm cut out to make this learn-dutch-in-a-cafe-setting work.

Notes to self regarding thigs to get finished this evening...
- email Koen about schoenen
- email gent people again
- send off technical rider for argos/sint-lukas space (additional spaces)
- attempt to get through remaining portion of bound-journal
- help lay out Eva's letters for schools
- use ground pork and beef meet and/or the porkchop in dinner.
