I have been a little bit down lately. That's not weird since I am probably also a little bit over worked. But what can I say, that is just who I am. You could say that I am kind of a work-a-holic. Ever since I went to the art academy I seem to think that I don't need vacation. I am one of the very few people in this world that doesn't need a vacation. Guess what, that is not true. I am just like everybody else! I just have a hard time admitting that. So I decided to stay in bed for two days, and I kind of loved that so much that I took the rest of the week off. I have been chilling with my boyfriend before he is leaving for three weeks. We did a little shopping, I pierced my ears for the third time, watched some movies (the amazing spiderman 1+2, didn't like them to be honest), played some games, eat a lot of ice cream. And it was wonderful. But that's all over now. He's leaving in a couple days and I just finished another day at my internship. Life goes on, and that's ok. I feel a little bit better. And it is only 2,5 weeks until Pukkelpop. So better days are a head of me. 

I just have to keep myself a little bit distracted by doing more productive and fun things. Instead of waiting for something to happen. Have a nice and productive week!

Whoop there it is, my work in a museum. To be completely honest with you (that's just wat I do on this blog) I wasn't 100% happy with it. More 30% happy with it, but that's ok. Because that means that I still have a lot to learn and that I am not easily pleased with my own work. They just had to be bigger and I am still not sure about the typography. But what can I say, it was a fun experience. I had a nice evening at the opening. Met some nice people, saw nice work of others. Next time I will just make the posters bigger. Because sometimes BIGGER IS BETTER.

So right now as I am writing this my parents and sister are in New York for two and a half week. And my boyfriend is leaving in a couple days for three weeks traveling through Europe. And I am left all alone in Eindhoven stuck at my internship. From the beginning I knew it was going to be difficult to work the entire summer holiday, but now I am actually starting to regret it. 

So to keep my mind of the fact that I feel really lonely right know, I start searching for something to look forward to. (after this really depressing phase of this year) The first upcoming fun thing is Pukkelpop 2014! Really looking forward to that (I went there two years ago as well)

But after that nothing. Absolutely nothing accept three weeks off in september. But with nothing planned that also sounds very boring. So I started looking for train tickets to Copenhagen, but that shit is extreeeemly expensive. So after that I thought Berlin, but my boyfriend is already going to Berlin during his trip through Europe. And he has never been to London before, so I guess we're going to London. As you might remember (or not) I went there last summer and the summer before that. So I am a little less excited about London. Don't get me wrong I loooove being there and getting there is sooo cheap. But it is not that new anymore. But like I said it is cheap to get there and well I do everything for le boyfriend (if he asks nicely of course). 

I know how to get in London, but if you have ANY tips about staying please say so. The hostel I stayed at last year was ok for a shopping trip with a friend. But I actually want to stay a little longer with my boyfriend. So tips are more than welkom!

As soon as I heard about the ELLE Festival I wanted to go. But after I found out that I had to pay for a ticket I kind of forgot about it. Luckily for me the studio I am interning at, showed one of their carpets at the ELLE Festival (see first image) and they got two free tickets left. So yay for me and my mom. I had a great day even though it took us about 4 hours to only get to Amsterdam. 

We went to the ELLE Palvioen and the graduation expo of academie artemis for styling. Even though the ELLE Palvioen wasn't very big, everything looked beautiful! And the graduation expo was really busy, but also really beautiful. Especially my mom was really exited about the expo. I had a fun day in Amsterdam, but I don't know if I will visit the ELLE Festival again. We'll see next year. Until then let's enjoy the pictures I took. (My 50mm lens and I are starting to get the best friends ever!)
