Little Peeing Boy

These past few days have been a whirlwind!
Orientation was pretty cool--meaning we had to sit through lengthy talks, but we were fed pastries (chocolate cwah-sohnts what up) and the people here seem awesome. I definitely click with these people much better than the people I met in Spain, but it might've been because I was in a different mindset. I'm so excited to be here now! Everyone seems really cool because we're all here for the same purpose--to get a really great cultural and educational experience. It's different than the summer program because I feel like that was more like a mini-vacation, so people treated it that way. In other words, people were more inclined to get piss drunk every night. I don't think it's like that here! Everyone just wants to travel, I think. SO WE'RE GOING TO CROATIA NEXT WEEKEND. YES. I
CANNOT
WAIT.
But I shouldn't get too ahead of myself. I haven't even gotten a waffle or chocolate or pomme frites yet! But we did get to see the little peeing man. The fact that he's a symbol of Brussels shows how interesting of a city this is.
And here are some friends (yes! I had success in making friends!) with everything that Brussels stands for--peeing boy and waffles.

I think I might have nailed my internship interview too! If all goes well, I'll be working with a theater/dance/arts/music management organization funded by the Dutch government. I would be helping plan Jethrfst, which is a week of theater and dance. Cool, huh? And get this! My potential boss is a man who ballroom danced for 8 years in Germany! Hmm. I may try to seduce him back into dancing so I can have a partner. Muahaha.

And my friend said that her interviewer was a Vesalius student like us who landed an internship 8 years ago and then got a job at that company and stayed in Brussels to live here! MAYBE THAT'S MY FUTURE TOO! How exciting would that be? I secretly hope that I'll somehow romantically (when I say "romantic," I don't mean that boys are involved. I mean like Victorian Lit "romantic") be swept into the world of Europe forever. But that's secret.
