Mark is 17 years old and lives in Assen, the capital of the province Drenthe. He attends the gymnasium<\/em> (the most advanced level of the Dutch school system) and is in his senior year. He has final exams right now.<\/p>\nThe last days it has rained hard and even hailed. Mark had enough of it. He finally wants to go on holiday. In the summer holidays, Mark is going to visit Lloret Del Mar in Spain with a few friends to recover from al the studying. He is really looking forward to that!<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, he cannot leave yet. Those exams come first! Monday, Mark has the History exam. That is going to be studying, studying, studying! On Tuesday he will have Math of course. He absolutely detests it, but he has no choice. Then on Friday is the last exam, Latin. And then finally, holidays!<\/p>\n
