I woke up today at a sold 9:30. This is kind of unusual for my standards. I am an early bird most of the time. What is the point of sleeping in anyway? You just waist some minutes from your day, and in the end , some hours of your life. Because it adds up.

Anyway, I got up and made myself some breakfast. While doing this I saw a black rabbit in my garden. I didn’t think my garden was it’s natural habitat but I’ll never know. I saw him a couple of months ago as well. He actually stayed for a couple of weeks, hopping through the streets like a rolling stone, or a hobo. After a month or so, he got missing, gone with the wind. Today, I was happy to see my little buddy back again.

I ate some cornflakes as I usually do for breakfast. I didn’t eat the usual thing thought, because today I made some scrambled eggs. I was very proud of the result. It was the first accomplishment of the day, and it felt damn good.

My brother and I watched the greatest sitcom in the world (The Big Bang Theory), which was great as usual.

For dinner I ate couscous. My parents and my brother had chicken in the couscous, and I had no meat at all. It tasted good though.

Today was kind of easy, I am, starting to get the hang of it.

Today I woke up at around 8 o’clock, which was a bit later than the days before. I think this has to do with the fact that I have recovered from my jet lag. I made myself some breakfast, which consisted of cornflakes and bread. My brother was already downstairs and he told me that The Big Bang Theory could be seen on Netflix, which was a surprise to me. After breakfast we watched a few episodes of The Big Bang Theory.

I ate some bread for lunch, while watching the Big Bang Theory again. When the two episodes and finished, I went out and practised the piano. After a few minutes I stopped, and started playing Fifa.

At around six o’clock dinner was ready. I ate a nice omelette.

Today was not hard, because my parents cooked a vegetarian meal and I was not confronted with the smell of meat.

Today I woke up around 7 am, and made myself breakfast. I ate some cornflakes, just like I did yesterday.

I went to my grandmother together with my mother and my brother. We went to the Grebbeberg and visited the memorial of the Dutch soldiers who fought there to protect our country in Word War II. It was very intimidating to see all those graves, especially when I saw at what age the soldiers died (Most of them died in their early 20s). In the guest room there were some old pictures of the soldiers and some equipment they had used.

Suddenly, it started to rain cats and dogs, so we decided to go and eat some lunch. We went to a Vandervalk Hotel to eat. I took an apple pie, which tasted really good. After we’d finished our delicious food we went to our car. On our way back to my grandma’s house, we drove a beautiful route through the countryside.

After we arrived at my grandmothers house, we talked a little bit before leaving for my home. We arrived at home at around half past 4. I went to my game console to play some Dirt Rally for around an hour. Then I ate some vegetarian Spaghetti. There were a lot of vegetables in the spaghetti which kind of replaced the meat, so it tasted good without it.

When dinner was finished I decided to watch some tv.

Today wasn’t too difficult, apart from the lunch. At lunch everyone ordered some meat which looked and smelled great, so the temptation was huge. At the end I stood my ground and ordered the apple pie, “to help the environment” I thought to myself.

I arrived at the airport after an exhausting 11 hour flight yesterday night. Since I don’t like movies and my phone died, there was very little to do on board the aircraft. After the flight I had to rush to catch the train which brought me to my hometown.

So this morning I woke up at around six o’clock in the morning, and I made myself some breakfast. It consisted of some milk and cornflakes. I was still very tired, due to the flight and the time difference. I was so tired that I went back to bed. I made myself some lunch (three slices of bread with Nutella). I went out for a walk In the early afternoon. During that walk I learned that basically nothing has changed in my village during the past weeks.

Later that day I went to my grandparents. They were glad that I arrived home safely. On my way back I ate some French fries at a gasoline station.

I went to bed the minute I came back. This was around 10 pm.

I guess the first day wasn’t too hard, although I was kind of jealous of my brother who ate a hamburger.
