A new beginning.

So we are almost starting a new year together. Couple days ago I moved back to Colorado to attend college. I will be starting January 20th. My flight from Amsterdam to the United States didn’t start very good. Before I even left Amsterdam I had already a 4 hour delay. Then finally when we got to Chicago I figured out that my flight was canceled to Colorado Springs. So I had to stay the night in Chicago. United Airlines gave me a hotel room though, in the Hilton Hotel. So that was nice. They also gave me a dinner voucher. So I could eat where ever I wanted to and spend 15 dollars.

So I left my luggage out there with the lady, and she said that it would get on the first flight the next morning. Which I were supposed to be on too. After I slept for a couple hours in the hotel, I went back to the lady’s desk and asked if my luggage was still good.. She checked and everything was alright, it was scheduled for the same flight I was on. I felt pretty good about it. So I got on the airplane. Oh did I mention I got a First Class seat? That was kind of nice. So after about 2,5 hours or so I finally arrived in Colorado Springs.. And guess what.. No luggage. So I had to claim it, I had to fill out some paper work and wait for Tim and Zach to pick me up. It was a long day. But I can’t really complain I guess, cause then later I heard there was happened some crazy stuff in other airplains like you can read HERE. I could have been on that one.. You never know.

But I’m here, and safe. So thats good. Now I pretty much have some time to get back on my feet. I have been looking for furniture for about 5 days now. It’s harder then I thought. Also I really need a laptop, because now I’m using Tim’s computer all the time.. thats not really a problem though. But it’s easier for myself to have a laptop again. So I can install my email client and all that.

Yesterday I went to visit my old host family, it was nice to see them again. We had fun. And I brought some presents. So everybody happy. haha.

So this is all what’s on my mind right now, when I have some new stuff I’ll post it! Thanks for reading!

EMS @ PPCC?

Emergency Medical Services, that’s what I want to do… ehh I think? haha. Well, so the last couple weeks I was trying to get back to Colorado earlier then expected. But it didn’t work out very well. If I still want to attend PPCC for Fall, I need to have all the enrollment and paper work send in before July 15th. I’m sure I could have made that, but i’m not to sure if I could get my visa on time..

So now i’m taking the easy way. I’m starting now, with paper work etc. And then after my work contract is over, I’ll pack my stuff.. and leave.. I guess that works better and easier. That allows me to have enough time to work on the paper work and other stuff what must be done to get back to Colorado. It’s not a small thing i’m doing you know. I have to leave my life out here in Holland and move to a other country. That all is just what I’ve realized.

What school program?

The last couple months…. Well since i’m back in Holland from my exchange program trip. I have been working really hard to save up money for college. At this time I work 6 days a week, it’s pretty cool but harsh sometimes. I’m already glad when it’s not raining and the sun is shining outside. So now I still have 5 months left to work at the camp site and bungalow park until my contract is over.

Hopefully by then I have saved up enough money to attend college in Colorado Springs area. I still have absolutely no idea what i’m going to do, though. I have looked at the programs of Pikes Peak Community College; which you can find HERE. They have pretty sweet programs to offer, so I might go there.. and it’s effort able. But then again, it might be better for me to attend a University. It’s all so hard to figure out. I have no clue what I want to do.. there are lots of Colleges and University’s available. But I have been to Pikes Peak already, so I know how they work. well .. kind of. haha.

Mmhhmm, well I guess I have some research to do.. So i’ll get back to you’ll later! If you think you can help me, or give me some information! Leave a comment or contact me!

What? School?

So I have been looking for a Community College or University for a while now. Last year I went to Pikes Peak Community College which was a lot of fun. But i’m not to sure yet if I want to go there again. So I’m looking into the Colorado Technical University catalog and I have seen some cool programs, but I dont know yet what I want to do for sure. I have to find something what I like to do and can get my bachelor degree in. And maybe later a Master degree.

I have to sign up for a college or university in August. So I have to be fast !! The big questions for now are: Do I want to go to a Community College? or do I prefer a University? What do I want to do my major in? Where in Colorado will I go? What is the best program for me? and lots more..

All I can say for now is.. I hope I do find something !!
