Wichert:

I had a lot of difficulty with getting up because Jeroen and I went to bed to late the evening before. As a result of this Jeroen and I missed breakfast but we didn't really mind. After missing breakfast as normal we went to registration where nothing really special happened. We had to go to Sixth form meeting where a lot of things were discussed that didn't apply to us. When Sixht form meeting was finished, we still had to stay where we were because Assembly was next. During assembly awards are awarded to people who did good things for the school. Jeroen and I were also named. The guy who tried to pronounce our names had a lot of difficulty doing so, because of this everybody started to laugh. He said something like: " we want to thank wikkhart koeloes for scoring the only goal and Jeroohem Boesh for being goalie". Everybody was laughing really hard and the whole school was looking to us, it was a funny experience. We continued our day with one hour of Physics and two hours with Ms. Dijkshoorn doing some dutch homework. We had two more hours of science after this. After the break we had general studies. They had invited a speaker who had cycled around the world. She told al lot of stories and showed us a lot of pictures. To every picture belonged a story and it was very nice to listen to her stories. To finish the day we had economics for 2 hours.
That evening we had something really nice to do. We went to the University of Surrey were we got a reading about Forensic science. It was really interesting because the three professors explained us three parts of were you get to deal with when you study Forensic science. The subjects were: explosion, gun fire and DNA profiling. The reading was very nice, the funniest thing was when the first professor was finished with his story about explosion because suddenly we heared two loud gunfire shots and the first professor pretended as if he was shot. The loud gunfire shots came from the second professor who held a gun in his hand with blanks. The reason for this was that the second professors was going to talk about how to identiy the criminal who had committed the crime with a fire weapon. After the reading we were very tired and went to bed immediately. We had really enjoyed the reading, but were happy that we could go to sleep.
