Today was my day off and I spend it shopping with my boyfriend Marc in Enschede, a city in the Netherlands. And ofcourse we didn't come home empty handed!
First, I bought the most cutest shorts at the Britain,
Then I bought 2 Björn Borg mini shorts (boxers) at Hakans Budget Store for only €10,-!
And the best of all: I bought the book Eclipse from Stephenie Meyer!
It's the third book of the Twilight Saga and I can't wait to read it!
I also bought some slippers for Marc and at the end of the day we ate some fish :)
So, this was my update for today, how was yours?

Tomorrow
Is a day off!
Lieke just texted me asking if I knew why we didn't have school tomorrow, because our scedule didn't show any classes so I checked and... We are actually having a day off for no reason at all!
It's still completely strange because it is not a holiday or anything, and other students do have to go to school and follow classes from teachers we normally also have on monday...
Well.. It's a day off for me ^^
So, what should I do tomorrow?
I could go:
* Shopping.
* Get tanned on my balcony
* Buy the book 'Eclipse' from the Twilight saga and read it
Anyone more tips? ^^

The King of Sweden
The king of Sweden came to Amsterdam for a visit.
And I was there to take photo's of him!
Which was quite a coincidence though.. I didn't knew he was visiting Amsterdam that day. I was visiting Amsterdam with school for an exhibition of Richard Avedon, and just was at the right place at the right time
You can click the images for a larger result.

During the Queen's Day activities on April 30th here in The Netherlands, the queen visited the people in the city Apeldoorn when she and her family got commited in a terrorist attack.A car that drove straight through a crowd of people in Apeldoorn at the moment the royal family was passing by, did so deliberately. That was confirmed by the authorities at a press conference.
