Jacketz.

Last night, I couldn't sleep. I was feeling incredibly awake, so I decided to play the Sims and build a house for me and David. I'm a painter and he works for the military in the game. ha Later, I read and talked to David before he went to sleep. I ended up not being able to fall sleep until about 8:30 am and then slept until 5 pm. Big oops. I'm feeling tired now, though, so hopefully I'll be able to sleep at a decent hour tonight. I don't remember experiencing jet lag to such an extent when I was in France both times, but maybe I'm just getting old.
Almost everything closes at 6 pm here, but I felt a strong urge to get some fresh air, so Tucker and I went back to Jacketz (the baked potato place) again. Upon exiting the building, we noticed a very pungent aroma which seemed to be that of marijuana. We laughed and kept going. I took a few pictures on the way and before we knew it we were back at our home away form home... Jacketz!
Our friend, the founder of Jacketz, was there with his co-founder, too! I wasn't able to finish my potato because I got full really fast. I haven't been eating much here, so it is quite possible that my stomach has shrunken. We headed back home and walked again past the mary-j and back to our rooms. I talked to David for a bit, which was very fun, and decided I needed to take a shower. Since I'm not used to using communal showers, I often get in the stall and under the shower-head only to realize that I've forgotten my shampoo and conditioner. Having done this again tonight, I left my stall to run back to my room and found two new guys in the bathroom. Interestingly, one was shaving the other's head. I'm assuming they were in some way related to the weed stench... but that's just an educated guess.
Now, I'm back in my room relaxing and hoping I'll be able to fall asleep tonight! If I can, I might go to Bagel and Beans in the morning and then go to Amsterdam to check out the Van Gogh museum (which, by the way, has no student discount!) and maybe do a little shopping. Dak!
