[QUOTE="Fladian, post: 123819, member: 5833"] A little miscalculation from my side. Only a few minutes ago, I got a phone call from a friend of mine. Though she called because she need some help with ordering our school books, ("I know it's late, and I wonder if we'll get them on time," "and they call me late when I ordered them two weeks ago.") she [i]did[/i] mention (inbetween) that our vacation would only last two more weeks. I kept thinking I still had two weeks to recover and one week to travel. Little miscalculation from my side, I guess. I only have one week left to recover and one week to travel. I may want to cut that in half... Regardless, my favorite radio channel is keeping a few student-parties soon, and despite that I'm only free on the days that DJ Jens is performing, (I don't like Jens; I learned a while ago that his true skill is presentating things, not his dj qualities) I'll probably will take a look. Except the traveling-costs, it's free, unless you win the VIP-price - you'll get money, a trip, a room and a hotel room for one night. It's only unfortunate that the closest place they are going to keep one of those parties is on a day that I'm (probably; I don't have my scheldue yet and won't receive one for at least two weeks) at school - strange day to do it anyway - and the next closest place is at least one hour away by train.

It's likel that I'll kick one of my friends who has a license to go and take a look out there as well.

"Rick is in Spain, Edwin in Portugal and I don't got a clue where Jeroen is; but I don't really care about him.") So how much vacation-time do you guys got left? [/QUOTE]
