to live and die in LA.....NOT

     The song "to live and die and LA is the place to be..." is officially a burden to my life. The song is set as an alarm on my phone, and without fail...every night 9pm america time aka 6am amsterdam time has gone off waking me and my two traveling partners up. They are officially traumatized by the song, and last night/this morning it went off on my phone that was locked in the safe. As I attempted to unlock the safe my roomates thought they were being robbed....only you 2pac! Just thought I would share.

     As for wondering the streets of AMSTERDAM it has been amazing. Everything is legitimately 10-15 mins away from eachother...and i mean EVERYTHING. We probably walked half the city yesterday and it didnt even phase me. So much to see, so many dutch streets to pronouncenGRAGHT! I attempted to find the place I will be living for the next 4 months...of course i forgot the address...but I knew the street...and fun fact its right next to the anne frank house...eyyyyYO. The building i will be living in is RIGHT on the canal....hopefully I have a nice view!! And the neighborhood is beautiful...and NON touristy.
    And NO I have not been to a "coffee" shop yet...I have time, so much other stuff to see. We did go out though..a place called Prime...pretty cool. Good music and 2 euroo beers (kinda little though). Regardless we danced the night away and learned how to say thank you...DONKEY-vel...or something like that. I do know KORTING means sale...useful word. "is there a KORTING?.....ooo DONKEYVEL!!"
   Sooo just got back from the Rembrandt museum aka his house..pretty cool..audio tour. LOTS of museums to seeee here. Van Gogh is next! I am sooo exhausted..I donno whether its jet lag...lack of sleep, or just too much walking. OO and I did go on a run today...mmhmm. Thanks to shawns motivation. It was unreal just running around the city...i kept thinking to myself..."no big deal just taking a jog in EUROPE...WTF!" Joggging....in europe...I donno why but that is just craziness. I need new music though..different scene different music.
   Time to take a nap...or attempt..orientation starts tomorrow, and its a 4 day process...ooo yea..Im here to study too. Gooodnight...or GOODMORNING to you guys! (I will not be the one setting the alarm)

I love and miss you all!
