Netberg's launch and rockaoke!

Hello everybody!

This week was an important one! 

First of all, we had the official Netberg launch on wednesday night! After working really hard on it for a few weeks, it was finally May 14th! It went really well and I learned a lot from it: bot preparing for it, and working during the event. If you want to know more about how it went, you can read the blogpost on the Netberg Blog about the event! (Which I wrote by the way!)

After the excitement and the stress of Wednesday night, it was time to blow off some steam in the weekend! Friday night, Lauren, Kirsten and I went to a bar in Kensington for some Rockaoke! You might be wondering what this is... It's Karaoke with a live band! And it's FUN. The list of songs we could choose from was filled with some rock classics: ''I will survive'', ''Nothing's gonna stop us now'', ''We are the champions'', etc. It's probably the most fun I've had on a night out in London so far. Everyone was cheering each other on and dancing and singing to these amazing songs! 

Lauren and I wanted to sing ''I will survive'' but unfortunately there wasn't enough time for everyone to sing, and we were among those people... But Kirsten did get chosen to sing! She sang ''It's nor unusual'' by Tom Jones. And she absolutely ROCKED it!

On Saturday, I was a bit homesick. All of the sudden I just really missed the people from back home, and living in Utrecht. London is an amazing city, but it's pretty intense to live in. It's not like living in a city in Holland, where you can just jump on your bike to go see a friend. So it's a good thing that I've got a friend living in my house! Lauren helped to cheer me up by baking our very own chocolate cake. Most of you have never seen my kitchen, but let me tell you: it's very small and we don't have a lot of quality cooking supplies... So it's quite a challenge to bake a cake. But we did it, and it tastes pretty good too :)

After going out last night, I woke up with just one though on my mind today: I want to go to Victoria Park and lie in the sun! Fortunately, the weather was amazing. So Lauren and I spent a few hours sunbathing in lovely Victoria Park! 

So, summer is finally here! Hopefully it will stay... It is England after all.

Love,

Yolanda
