As some of you might or might not know, my parents are divorced and they have been for the past one and a half years but I think the concequences are finally getting to me. The last couple of weeks I haven’t been feeling as good as I used to and I don’t really have a space to call my own, that I can go to whenever I feel I need to retreat. I have been working at a 25% speed then usual and it is really starting to annoy me to the point that I want to make quite a drastical decision.
It’s not a simple Innie Minnie Miney Moe game but I really want to live with one parent standard. I believe this will relief some stress and will make me able to create a place for my self and cool down. It’s not going to be an easy decision as I will end up hurting at least one parent (Or so I think). The upcoming week is going to be a tough one.. I think..

I’m not going through one of the best few weeks of my life as you could’ve read in my previous blog posts. Well, there is at least one thing that keeps making me happy. Dancing Lessons. It’s something I can keep putting time into. It’s a lot of fun trying to get the steps, and the body work and the timing right at the same time.
I dance every friday, but aside from the fridays there is also those ‘techincal hour’ lessons. Every first wednesday of the month. In these lessons they put more pressure on the timing and body work and that makes the feel and look of the dance a lot more different.
I am going to try and tape some dances of my dancing test on the 6th of December. I will be dancing for gold, and after I complete that I will continue for gold star. I am really looking forward to learning a few more dances!

Yes, you might think that you can easily set your priorities here. Well, apperently my classmates disagree. For some weird reason they consider doing nothing, browsing for web games, watching youtube all day, having random garbage talk etc. etc. etc. is more important then getting a proper degree. When I look around in the class I can always see at least 2 games going on. It’s starting to annoy me although it is not really my business. I don’t really understand why they are actually here if they are going to do nothing at all they might as well stay at home, right?
There is one particular guy in our class that litterly got thrown out of class for gaming during class twice! I think he actually got a propper talk with the teachers asking if he was here for the education or not. Well, I certainly hope that he will shut up for a while. It was really starting to get on my nerves.
Well, that was for todays rant.. I hope my next blog post will be a bit more positive.

Great.. Just when I thought it coulnd’t get worse, they overdid themselves. You’re probably wondering what I am talking about. Well, I am talking about college. For a while now I have been confused with the schedules they have been giving me and the only thing I really do there is annoy myself on teachers that can’t actually teach me something. In the end I got a custom schedule I could follow and all was good for about 2 weeks.
Now today I was supposed to have a class at 8:45, but as I did not know yet, It had been changed to 12:45. So I get up at 6 in the morning and get ready for college, With the great mood I had to bike through the rain to get to the train. When I finally arrive on the train station I get the announcement that the train as a 10 minute delay so we have to stand there in the raid for an aditional 10 minutes. I thought my mood couldn’t get worse at that time.
Finally arrived at college I meet a few classmates that had to come in early to finish some work and I had to hear from them that 2 weeks ago the whole class (but me) got a different schedule that said I only had to go to college at 12:45. I made a 180 degree turn and went straight home. The amount of times this has happened to me now is just not funny anymore. I am going to write the college an e-mail demanding a proper schedule, and this time I hope they will inform me of any sudden changes.

Hello everyone,
My name is Olrik Lenstra and I was born on 6th of Febuari in 1991. I will be writing this blog about what I encounter in my life. I have tried writing a blog in the past but as I was younger I guess I couldn’t keep up. As a good friend told me: ‘I write from my heart. It helps me deal with things’ and I hope it will do the same for me. As I am writing this I have gotten a horrible week behind me.
The week started off with me having about 2 hours of sleep on the monday, obviously having college the next day, Luckly the college didn’t take that long as it was only half a day. Then that Tuesday evening we had a show at the theater, I almost fell asleep half way through.. Not the best of times to go to the teather and listen to a peaceful show. Up til Friday I did not have that much trouble.
Obviously I’d forgot something.. I said I’d help someone fix their laptop of some Java issue. Then ontop of that the dancing lessons just went bad, I couldn’t count properly and just couldn’t remember my steps. As stupid as I was I went to bed at 6 in the morning. Not being able to sleep on saturday so did not have sleep for about 30 hours. Went to bed at 8PM on sunday and slept in until 12 on Monday, which was bad since I promised a friend I’d help her with her chemistry class. I really feel bad about not helping the 2 people I promised to help.
On top of all the trouble I’ve had the past week I don’t feel great too.. I am uncertain about a couple of things and I blame myself about forgetting a lot of things. I had this about 2 years ago too, I didn’t do a lot of school work and just forgot about a lot of things. I think it’s horrible..
I know the blogpage still looks a little horrible, I will be working on that next.
Regards,
Olrik
