Cheese sandwiches

So, in an effort to catch-up with real time, I am writing about today, today! (If you didn't know, I've been posting a day behind). I will also be posting about yesterday, today!

So, I've been getting the hang of things, sending emails, how to print, using the coffee machine (for hot water) and all that jazz. Today, I got my photo taken for my badge and visited the company library. One of my fellow interns was nice enough to translate the dutch section titles for me, so that I knew what I was looking at. It's been pretty quiet in studio this week, a lot of people take it off because all the schools and uni have the week off.

So lunchtimes at the work are definitely my favourite, what a surprise. Pretty much everyone from the design department eats together, time permitting. The best thing about lunch is how everyone eats sandwiches, and many of them cheese sandwiches, for some reason it makes me so happy. On the first day I brought a cheese sandwich, and you don't know how delighted I was to see everyone else have one too!!

Yesterday at lunch the company put on a concert, it wasn't very big, and it was basically a girl singing Adele in a small auditorium, but I was pretty impressed by the fact that there was any lunchtime entertainment. One of the CAD modelmakers (eek, don't remember his name) was saying how they used to have a concert every first wednesday of the month, but they stopped and this was the first in a while.

Today at lunch was a bit more fun, I watched my three fellow student interns play a board game invented by the same modelmaker who I can't remember the name of, it's something ridiculously Dutch, I assure you ( I recently found out how to search people in the system by their office number, so I can figure out people's names if I forget them, which is pretty much everyone I've met). But anyways, the game was pretty fun looking, it was a board game and it requires alot of strategy, it was similar to chess or chinese checkers.

Basically my lunches so far have been pretty ace.

On the way home today I went shopping (what's new) I set out to buy some healthy (real) food. But then failed pretty hardcore. I went to a cheaper grocery store, but they didn`t have very many fruits, so I bought some apples. But then I saw a pizza for like, 89 cents, so I bought it. Little did I realize that I don`t actually have a freezer. So I ate the pizza for supper. I will probably bring an apple to work tomorrow at least.

I also took a pretty big detour on the way home, I just basically biked wherever the bike lane took me. They have a lovely bike path along the river (on boths sides apparently). I am not sure how far they go, I just biked a km or two on each side, but I will discover this weekend.

Also one speed bicycles can`t handle hills, at all. You don`t need to handle hills much in the netherlands. But just so you know, they can`t.
