Belgium!!!

i'm in belgium now, neat. 8 hour flight which i didn't sleep on, time change made it 7:30 am when it should have been 12:30 am if you ask me. that was tiring, then we trained it to our house where we unpacked and met the RAs. ate lunch which included a tasty beer, and we were unsure if were doing things correctly and if we were the obvious americans. oh well. then we walked around exploring, then i took a 2.5 hour nap which didn't help, then we went out for a meet and greet thing to meet the other people in the program. free all you can drink of stella artois and hoegaarden. after that for a while we went to 2 different dimly lit pubs with the belgian RA guys. fun time, stayed out too late considering how tired i was.

today we woke up early to go register for school and stuff like that. ate a belgian waffle for breakfast/lunch. we had a guided tour around Leuven but the woman was quiet and i couldn't hear her and it was cold and and and it wasn't too spectacular. then we ran back to our house and got bags then went to Aldi and bought cheap groceries then ran back to a campus coffee place thing where they served dinner and offered a free drink, i got a duvel which is somehow notorious, i guess cuz its 8.5% alcohol. anyways after that we came back here and i'm typing this and i'm tired but i think we're going to do some ting.

i wonder how much longer i'm gonna get lost in this city, and if all the dutch that i can't understand is gonna bother me. time'll tell, boobheads.

"the most insidious betrayals are done merely by leaving the life jacket hanging in your closet while you lie to yourself that it's probably not the drowning man's size. That's how we slide, and while we slide we blame the world's problems on colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, corporatism, stupid white men, and America, but there's no need to make a brand name of blame. Individual self-interest: that's the source of our descent, and it doesn't start in the boardrooms or the war rooms either. It starts in the home."

from A Fraction of the Whole by Steve Toltz which I'm reading just now.
