I’m going to continue to harp on this until I figure out what I want to do about making it a priority in our education system: you don’t have to be “smart” (academically) and you don’t have to be a “good student” (by which I mean “someone who can sit down and memorize a bunch of stupid stuff that doesn’t matter in order to ace a test that...

The front entrance of the Refectory
Today, I:
Attended an international postgraduate orientation session. The support here for international students is really impressive. Got a student ID card and registered with a doctor (before freshers week started, so the queue wasn’t insane LOOK AT MY BRITISH WORDS).

I am in Amsterdam and this airport smells a little funky. My cool story for the day is that when my plane landed, it was so smooth I didn’t realize we’d hit the ground. Only 4 more hours until I board my connecting flight! *dies*
