Weekly diary #99: I’m back from my sustainable holiday

Posted on August 22, 2019July 6, 2023

Hi there! Welcome into my weekly diary. The past weeks there hasn’t been one, since I’ve been on a holiday to Albufeira. Don’t worry, it was a sustainable holiday. I travelled there by train and you can read more about my outward journey here. Now I’m back and enjoying the last part of my holiday here in the Netherlands. In a sustainable way of course! The past week I handed in my thesis again, worked a lot at my part-time job and expanded Loose! Want to read along? Here’s weekly diary #99.

Thursday

Yesterday was the first day back in Enschede for me and I worked at night at my part-time job. This morning I worked on my thesis the whole morning and worked again at my part-time job afterwards. I spend a lot of money on that holiday haha, now it’s time to earn some back! After work I had two orders for my package free webshop Loose. Due to my holiday I could not deliver them, so today I did that. Feels good to make some positive impact again! After that I went bowling with my family and I won! Ha.

Friday

Today was my goal to finish my thesis, and I did! I think I am quite happy with the end result but I just can’t say. I’ll have to see what school thinks about it. From now on all I can do is wait. At night I worked at my part-time job again.

Saturday

Another day working at my part-time job. I feel boring writing this down, but for this week my life is basically kind of boring. And that’s okay. It feels good to be back in the Netherlands and to pick up normal life again. I like the flow of it. At night I watched a lot of episodes from MTV Are You The One?. I love that show! I missed some episodes in my holiday so my Saturday night contained of binge watching in my bed.

Sunday

I woke up with a text that someone from my part-time job could not work and since I was free today I texted back that I would work. Before I went off I prepared an order for Loose. Once back from work I picked up the order and delivered it. Ah, that feels good! I wrote about my outward journey to Albufeira that night and made some time to visit grandma. I hadn’t seen her in a while and I think family is important, so. What a day!

Monday

Today is the day! Again. I went to school to hand in my thesis. Last time I failed but this time a lot depends on it. If I fail again, I won’t be able to go to the University of Amsterdam I got accepted for. I want this so bad! They’ll call me within the next 10 days and so I’m just patiently waiting and having a mini-holiday from all this thesis work. Since I was free the rest of the day I decided to go to a secondhand store. I bought some things for Loose. Also, today I heard that I couldn’t join the introduction days for the University of Amsterdam because I was too late with signing up. It’s a long story but it turns out they didn’t include me in the e-mails to inform new students so I didn’t know about it at all. Now I’ll miss it and that really sucks. Bummer. At night, I went to my grandpa to help him with his computer. He got a new one but couldn’t figure some things out. I consider this positive impact too, helping others. It always feels good to help out someone, whether that’s family or not.

Tuesday

After I worked at my part-time job in the morning I went to pick up my drivers license! I hadn’t shared it here just yet but I had passed my exam the day before I went on a holiday to Albufeira! You can read about why I made the decision to get a drivers license here. I passed it at my first try and I am so happy about that. I have freedom now! To go wherever, whenever. Today I picked up the drivers license and my mom and I went for a drive to a secondhand shop. It was a bit difficult since I was in another car, but it ended up being fine. I shopped some new things at the secondhand store and I’ll show you these things later! Also, I have some more exiting news today, which I haven’t shared with anyone just yet. I have expanded my webshop Loose so that everybody in The Netherlands can order package free groceries online! Woohoo! I have been working on that a long time, I’ve told you about a ‘secret project’ a few times. It comes with a price tag, the delivery costs are 10 euros. But I am working on that! At least now the option is available for anyone and that makes me very happy! Now that it is there the coming weeks are about promoting it and sharing it with as many people. If you’d like to help, you could share the Loose website with anyone. I would really appreciate it. Now that I deliver in all of The Netherlands the concept has changed a bit and you can read all about this concept on the website. Anyway, I am so exited! But I am far from done. I have more plans for the webshop and I will continue to work on those. Let’s make this thing even more beautiful 🙂

Wednesday

Yes, I’ve worked every day except Monday this week. So today I am working again. For now (before work) I am doing some chores at home and at night my boyfriend is coming over! Yes! It’s been a great week with many ups!

How has your week been?

Yours sincerely,
Romee

when a teen goes green

Hi! My name is Romee Hoeksma and I am on a journey to an eco-positive life. An eco-positive lifestyle is a lifestyle in which I have a more positive than negative impact on the beautiful planet earth. On this blog you can follow my journey to a life with only positive impact. At this blog you can find all sorts of things, from tips to recipes to personal experiences, but most of all fun (I hope!). I write about how I want to change the world, but don’t look at it as if I’m judging you. If anything, I like responses from my dear readers the most, so don’t hesitate to contact me or respond to any of my posts!

Yours sincerely,
Romee

Dit is hoe ik met de trein van Krásná Lípa (🇨🇿) naar Bratislava (🇸🇰) reisde. Dit was reisdag 3/6 van onze duurzame interrail reis. Ik ben vandaag 25 jaar geworden 🥳. Ik hoop heel hard dat dat betekent dat ik ongeveer op een kwart van mijn leven ben. En wat een verjaardag is dit! Ik mag het vieren in Kopenhagen met mijn favoriete persoon @casperchristiaanse , terwijl ik met de trein door Europa reis 🚃. Ik ben een gelukkig mens. Op naar de 50! Dit is hoe ik van Dresden (🇩🇪) naar Krásná Lípa (🇨🇿) reisde. Niet een bijster lange, maar wel een prachtige treinreis, omdat je door het nationaal park Boheems Zwitserland gaat. Dit was de tweede reisdag van onze interrail (2/6). We zijn op de helft van de interrail. Terwijl ik dit typ zijn we onderweg naar Warschau (8,5 uur vanaf Bratislava). Nog twee bestemmingen te ontdekken, maar wat hebben we nu al veel genoten. Elke dag goed en lang slapen, nieuw vegan eten proberen, bijzonder lang wandelen, spelletjes spelen, weinig schermtijd, genieten van de mooie uitzichten en zon: deze reis is genieten 💜. Dit is hoe ik met de trein van Amsterdam naar Dresden reisde 🚃. De interrail is officieel begonnen! (1/6) Vandaag verschijnt er geen artikel op mijn blog. En de komende twee weken hierna ook niet. Dat is voor het eerst, in de 7 jaar dat ik schrijf. Een heel leuk onderdeel van duurzaam leven is tweedehands kleding. Hier zijn 4 tweedehands outfits die ik droeg in augustus 2023 🌞. Je zag het al in de reel van vorige week: ik ben op vakantie geweest naar Gent, in België. Het was een ontzettende aanrader, en daarom verscheen er vandaag een artikel op mijn blog over de leukste en duurzaamste hotspots in Gent 🌆. Check it out via de link in mijn bio Gent, wat was je prachtig 🌆. Dit is absolute een duurzame vakantietip (oh, maar wees niet zo naïef als ik en ga lekker met de trein 🚃). Binnenkort is op Youtube de gehele vakantievlog te bekijken.
