Not the most happy story to be told. So, last time I wanted to write a notebook entry, the site was shut down due to maintenance. Unfortunately for me, I lost everything I had written. It has been a while since I have written some sort of an essay. Yes, I consider this as some sort of an essay but not a formal one. Although today was a good day for me personally it was not a good day for some people I "know". It all started early in the morning when I had to get up and go to university. I overslept and missed my first bus and then my second and even my third one. So the beginning was not all that good. I decided to revise some schedules I had made for my grammar courses. I finally caught one bus and only missed a few minutes of Dutch Grammar class. All was good, class was great (I had already prepared my exercises unlike others) and the answers were enlightening! I finally understood what has been said the past few months and even last year. Yes, I have to redo my first year at Ghent University. After Dutch class I had lunch with a friend and a very depressing talk, but besides all the depressive talking about love, relationships and making decisions, my day was so far so good. After lunch I had English Grammar which was awesome! We're learning about the tenses, mood, aspect etc. We only just covered Present Tense, but 8/10th of my answers were correct! I have never felt so smart in my entire life. Haha! When I came home, my mum told me this horrific story about what happened at the school she works at. A minor who only has his temporarily drivers license drove into her students, eight of them were hit, one is still in critical condition. I was shocked, I don't know these boys personally. I'm glad my mum was able to help "her children" and guide them, to talk to the police and to have the paperwork done so that these boys and their families have insurance coverage. Although for me this was a good day, these things do happen daily. We all think it's far from us, but one day it'll be so close to us that we are so overwhelmed with what happened. It makes me think of life and how precious life is. I know this entry is not the most positive entry there is. But life is precious, life is sacred in my eyes and I think we should learn from other's mistakes and try to make the world a better place starting in our own home, town and social circles. I hope I haven't hurt anyone's feelings here. I know this is something a lot of us have had to go through! And I'm sorry for that.
