Today Maria and Moritz fed me some apple cake while at the AKI. It was very good. And for me to say that counts for a lot because I usually don't like anything that involves fruit and dessert. I turned them down at first. But they insisted! It is Moritz's birthday. They invited me to this place in town that all the AKI students go to, where people will be celebrating his birthday with "drinking and dancing." I didn't say yes, but I didn't say no. If I liked drinking and dancing then I would have said yes.
Last night the internet stopped working. And I couldn't figure it out. It kind of made me panic. It didn't start working until about 5 o'clock when I asked Klas for some help. It is so good to have it back.
On Friday I travel to Belgium to spend the weekend there with Aimee.
I have 25 days to finish my art. I have 35 days before I leave the Netherlands.
I like to wonder if I will ever return here, or if I will ever see any of the faces again of the people I have met here. I would like to think that I may run into them again. But I am not sure that that is true.
It will be another handful of lost connections with people I do not know very well. And I will think about them at random one day, I'm sure, and invent these stories about them in my head about how their lives have turned out. And I will retrace the things that I can remember about them.
