Yes, it's true, I'm a little addicted to fleamarkets! Sometimes I just buy some dress that is way to big for me but then I edit it at home and with some help from my mom I make it my dream dress.

It were summer holidays here in Belgium so I had a lot of time to do some little projects.
First I made some polymer clay necklaces. For the one's who don't know what polymer clay is, I'll explain it!

Polymer clay is a type of hardenable modeling clay. The clay can be found in every colour possible, from bright white to dark blue and from fluo pink to earthy brown. You can shape it as you want. You can make little puppets or animals or you can make necklaces out of it like I do. When you made a figure you just have to put it in an oven for half an hour and your figure is solid as a rock ;)


Now the necklaces!

The 26th of June this year was a milestone in my life. That was the day that I officially graduated as a pre-school teacher! I am now ready to teach children from 2,5 to 6 years 'how to'. How to write their name, how to draw a dinosaur, how to make cookies, how to hold a book, how to stack blocks and many more of those how to's.

Being a pre-school teacher is a very exciting and rewarding job. You can get so much affection from a little child and the look in their eyes when they learned something new from you is priceless.

So after that milestone, I'm now finding myself on a crossroad in my life. I do not know where to go next. One road is leading to the job market that is not very promising for a starting teacher, another one is leading to college and one another one I'm heading for another year abroad.

Time will tell I think ;)

Time is passing by really really fast!
I still remember typing that I was going on an adventure, now that adventure lays in my past.

Time flies and that's still an understatement.

When I was studying abroad, I kept a separate blog with all my findings and thoughts.
I'll drop the link below and after my internship I'm going to work on this blog again.

It's in Dutch but I added a translation posibility so you can read it in every language on earth!

Hasta luego amigos! (yea, I went to Valencia and fell in love with the Spanish language ;) )

Okay, I have great news.Remember when I posted that we always wait and fun moments are often postponed? I had to change this!

Exactly 37 days from now, I'm leaving on an adventure. I'm going to study abroad for four months, Valencia to be exact. It's a decision that I've already made last school year. A decision which I still don't regret but I start to have some nerves.
 
How will it be there? Will the school be happy to take me in? Will I manage to live independently? Will I miss my friends and family? Can I get used to living abroad? Am I going to miss my boy really bad?

All these questions haunt my head but next to these questions there is also the tremendous enthusiasm to go there.

Meet new people. Living in another country. Getting to know another culture. Live completely independently. Enjoying the student life.

I am now fully occupied by my exams but I have actually still much preparation to do. My flight isn't booked yet, I still have to search for an apartment, and many other things.

I'll keep you up-to-date!

It's been like 6 months since I last wrote something here.
Shame on me big time!

But I have an excuse, I hate excuses but still I have one. This summer has been a really busy summer for me. I was nearly never home and since school started I'm busy with that. So I neglected my blog a little bit (read: much).

I'm now doing 4 weeks internship and I'm about to start my last week. After that I promise to put some nice things up here.
