My trip to Istanbul turns out to be a lot more expensive.

I finally made to school at 9:30 today... too bad we started at 9. Oh well, at least I tried. Class was pretty inspiring today, I learned a thing or two (probably more) and I really feel like working on these projects. I did not go into town after class this time, mainly because my usual shopping buddies couldn't join me. Because of this I got home pretty early. One of the first things I did when I got back was checking my mail. There was some pretty bad news in it... I appears that in the few days between the moment my bank pass got swallowed by a ATM in Turkey and the moment I got my bank (the Postbank) to block all outgoing transactions, more than $600 was taken from my account. It goes without saying that I wasn't to pleased to find this out. I called my bank right away to inform them on the case. At first they didn't real feel like helping me, as they think I should have gotten my card blocked that same night (in which they do have a point), but after a while they decided to send me some fraude form which I'm supposed to take to the police and stuff. I'll just see what happens from there, and if I don't like it I'll guess I'll call my father to do... stuff... I dunno. This sucks.

Anyway, I went to guitar ensemble later on, I just got back. I went pretty good. Afterwards I had some wine and olives. In half an hour from now I'm going to have a drink with a friend from when I was studying chemistry in Rotterdam. We hadn't seen eachother for 5 years or so untill we bumped into eachother the day before yesterday. Some people have asked me to join them to Paard van Troje tonight, but I'm not sure I will go yet.
