We've agreed to make this a habitual thing and get together at least once a week to study. This will keep Nienke up to date on her psychology stuff during the summer holiday and will enable me to work on my paper.
As the title says, we didn't just study, although the 'play' was limited. Nienke showed me a nice, little online game to kill time with which was very effective :D
After dinner, we went to sit outside and continued our work there to enjoy the soft breeze that had come in after the sun had settled down. It's been a very hot day, and now, at almost 01:00 it's still 26 degrees in the house. I've a window open so some fresh air can come in but it's going slow.
Nienke left around ten which resulted in a hectic couple of minutes as she couldn't find her wallet, which, among other things, contained her public transport card and her college card, needed for the exam she's having tomorrow. After a frenzied search through her bag and around the house on the places she'd been, she called home to check if she'd left it in the car, and guess what, she had.
This eased the biggest worry, she could do the exam. However, we still had two things to worry about, being 1) will we be on time at the bus stop, and 2) will she be able to get on, seeing as how she didn't have her public transport card, and neither of us had enough money to pay for a regular ticket...
We made it on time to the bus stop with even enough time to spare for me to take a quick trip to the atm across the street to get some money, if Nienke needed it (her card was in her wallet). Just as I'd gotten back to the right side of the road, the bus came.
Since it was late on a Sunday night, the bus was one of those tiny 8-person van thingies. And, of course, it was full. As if we didn't have enough bullshit already...
The driver called the central and after a few minutes managed to get into contact with the driver of another van-bus who said he'd stop by. And again some minutes later he did. And then Nienke's luck turned to good for a little bit as the driver was familiar to her so she didn't have to pay and he said he'd drop her off in her town.
But the turn in luck wasn't for long... A little while later I got a phone call. It was Nienke and she was home, safe and sound and all, but her mother had just told her that tomorrow they were gonna work on the sewage system in her town and no buses at all would go in or out...
So now her dad will drop her off in the next town tomorrow where she can take the bus to school to do the exam. Later tomorrow, we'll be going to the cinema to see X-Men 3: The Last Stand. I've already seen it in Gent with Gert and Reimer but Nienke hasn't and the film was way cool enough that I'll want to see it again. It'll give me the chance to look for the details on the big screen. :D
