Don't you think is a lot for the final week. What the hell , everything just put into the same week. How can i make it. I think i am not going to sleep ...u will see panda Jiang soon..
By the way, beside stressing on the workload of courses, i still went to a small party in Kromhout 87 which is Alice unit to celebrate Sinter Klaas Eh...don't think i gone crazy because i have so much exam , is not Santa Claus but is Sinter Klass. Is a different person and it is only celebrate on 5th of Dec. His name is Saint Nicholas ( don't know how to spell) and he came from Spain with his helpers Zwarte Pieten which are believe they came from Ethopia ( never heard of this country, strange). I think is quite racist because the helper is black but Sinter Klass is white. But Sara explain that the helpers looks dark because they climb all the way from chimney to the home to put candy into the shoe for the sweet children. So sweet...!!! Thats why helpers are black because of the dust of the chimney. Anyway, some of them said that they are not helpers but slave but this is more racist i think. The first time i saw the SinterKlaas and his helpers are in the dining hall. The helpers run around the dining hall to throw the peppernoten to the people. So fun. They said this is the way they give out gift ( so stingy, only give cookies, give gold ma...then more memorable).
At night in the SinterKlaas party was fun. Sara explain the origin of the SinterKlaas and we get to sing the SinterKlaas songs. of course it is in dutch. Haha...funny. I was trying to find the songs we sang just now. But how sad , i can't find it. Nevermind, i will get from my friend , and i will put it soon with the lyrics. We have peppernoten fight in the living room. It makes my clothes so yacky but it was a lot of fun. We really enjoy. I think this is the first and the last of celebrating Sinter Klaas. Wondering do i still have the chance to celebrate this feestje again>>!!!
