Like I said I try to keep my blog up to date with what I do. So here is my first attempt to keep this blog interesting.
After getting back in Holland I stayed at my parents place for a while. There I looked for some new place to live for my studies (My parents live all the way in the south of the country). I tried searching on websites that offer rooms, but they are crap or way to expensive, or both. I also have send some e-mails to people I know who live in the neighborhood of Hilversum. Luckily, my old roommate had some room left in his big apartment. So here I am, living in the center in the city of Hilversum. It’s a great place to live and I feel settled already.

My studies don’t start until the 15th of September, so that means I have more spare time than expected. I was selected for the master program at our school, so I’m really happy. That means I have an international degree and I will be called Ing. instead of Mr. Veldhuis when I’m done. But it’s going to be a tough year I think.
With that extra spare time I decided to go back to Sweden for a short week in the beginning of September. I will go back the place where I lived and I will go to Stockholm to meet with a certain special someone 
.
With that extra spare time I also decided to do something useful, instead of laying down in the sun sipping booze. I’m working on a small technical project with Arduino. Arduino is a small interface board whereby you can connect all kinds of sensors and actuators and program its behavior on the computer. Simply that means you can build something physical and interactive. It is great fun, but I never had the time to learn the programming language at a decent level (also because I suck at programming). I have different kinds of stuff on my desk, like light sensors, motors, buttons, LED’s and some other small things. I hope to build something autonomous in the next weeks.
My arduino project…for the moment
Next week I have to go back to my parents place to look after the house and animals, because they are leaving for holidays. So I have to leave this city again. I probably leave tomorrow and will stay there until next weekend.
That looks cool, well, stuff with wires and lights everywhere looks always cool!
So back home or still somewhere around Mälaren?
cheers!
Hej Nikk-Nikk!
