We were formally introduced to the Director of the Emerson College European Center Dulcia (pronounced Dull-chia) Myers today. I would like to be one of the first to introduce her in cyberspace to those who do not know her. Let's imagine (for a moment) that Jessica Naimy had a long-lost mother who looked identical to Jessica but was 20-some years older than her. Then let's imagine that she had a mild Dutch accent when speaking English. Then let's imagine that she had the wit of Tina Fey/Jacki Liebergott, the intelligence of Maureen Shea, and the body of Bebe Neuwirth. Put it all together, add in a little extra Dutch spice and musical theatre "fierceness," and you get this woman.
We had a meeting today regarding the academic programs here at Kasteel Well. It was just the 74 Emerson students and Dulcia, and it was a riot. I am in love. She informed us that this was a very special semester because, for the first time, the governer of South Netherlands would be visiting the campus which is exciting in of itself. Most importantly, however, she informed as that for the first time in 15 years, Jacki Liebergott would be visiting our little campus in late, late September!!! I am going to attempt to set up a performance for them during their visit to Kasteel Well.
Last night I went to the old-Well bar Under the something-or-other. The beer there is very good and cheap. The bartender promised us that he would get to know each and every one of us by the end of these four months. I think that's stupendous.
Tonight is the boat tour of southern Netherlands. I will be taking lots of pictures. I need to create a PhotoBucket account for those people reading this who don't have access to Facebook. (Mom.) It would probably be easier that way anyway.
I miss everyone very much. Much, much more to come.
