I had a very unexpected motivational experience today: Apparently I wont get my study loan unless I officially finish the last semester. This means I'll have to finish off my f#$%&ng Process Report. Money as motivation. Now that's something new for little me.
These news, however bad they seemed at first sight, produced enormous amounts of endorphin in my brain and led me skipping up the Nieuwe Binnenweg towards Rotown for a spot more suitable for hard core report writing (central heating, internet and beer, what more can you ask for?).
One the way I passed a little boy, maybe 6 or 7 years old, standing at a zebra crossing, looking frantically to right and left, waiting for the passing cars to stop. None of the cars even slowed down, so I touched his shoulders. "Kom maar", I said and gave him a little push.
After crossing the road I gave me a look of a mixture of gratitude and fear and ran away.
Cute.

Encounters at the hairdressers
...
i: so, yes, I want highlights.
a very strange woman from the Dominican Republic: highlights, this? (points to her pitch black hair which has something like 5 yellow highlights)
i: no, more subtle ones to make the root dissolve into the rest of the hair. I just want to look naturally blond.
avswftDR: yes yes nature blond.
i: ok?
avswftDR: yes yes, i make nature blond.
Very strange woman from the Dominican Republic mixes the haircolor.
avswftDR: root or all hairs?
i *wtf, wasn't I getting highlights? Ok, whatever*: only the root please
Very strange woman from the Dominican Republic dyes the whole hair
avswftDR: you want blowdry?
i: no thank you, doesn't really work with my hair. I'll be like a scarecrow
avswftDR: yes yes
Very strange woman from Dominican Republic blow dries Inga's hair. Very strange woman also brushes the curls and sprays it with a ton of hair lack. Inga becomes like Shirley Temple with her finger stuck in a power socket.
avswftDR: Is 75 Euro.
i: Erm, allright. *Hands avswftDR two 50 euro bills*
avswftDR: I have no more change. *gives Inga 22,50 euros back.*
i. Ehh... ok... thanks?
avswftDR: bye bye. Good day.
But still, the haircut aint that bad in the end:
