Woww...what a week!! This is the busiest week ever, which explains why it has been quite some time since I posted anything...so here I came this morning...after a full blown long weekend. Let's start from somewhere and that is Thursday...well I went to mass and then got back home to read more about the Holocaust...prepared a good dish and then I just rested for the whole of the afternoon...could not run any errands as all shops were closed...then on all souls' day I was an early bird...as I had to do my laundry before I got going for the church...then got back from church headed to the bakery but also in the meantime decided to hit some shops as I needed to buy some items for saturday night...and I bought more things than I planned to but that's with me!! I have to work on this!
As for Saturday, I took a bus to Korbeek-Lo which is one of the various suburbs of Leuven. Quite a cute place with several big stores...there was also this big supermarket where I finally managed to find a cleaning cloth for my mama...whenever she calls she always inquires about this "kamoxxa" which she found out reading the packaging was made in Belgium...and there you go...I found her what she was asking for and I was very glad for then I could rest in peace...
It was actually by great coincidence for I wasn't planning to get to this supermarket and I don't usually go and look into the section where cleaning products are displayed...but anyways many things just happen by coincidence...
Then I hit some two other sports shoe stores...Primo and Brantano...I had already checked about their products and that's why I actually wanted to get there as I wanted to get a Nike low profile fitness shoes from Brantano which is being sold for some 80euros...everywhere but Brantano Store has it on sale and it was being sold for some 54euros...but guess what when I got to the store they didn't have it there and I inquired how could that be!! The shop assistant that I should head back home and request for the shoes to be sent to their store....voulaa....so that's what I did but as with everything all instructions I could follow only in Dutch or French...and I happen to be ignorant of both...but to my own mischief I actually managed to follow the instructions in Dutch...for many of the words resemble German of which I am reasonably familiar with!
And now I just have to wait upon them to get back to me to let me know when I could go and pick up the shoes! It usually takes some 10working days for the 'request-order' to be processed! So that's today's week. Hope I have it before that for I can't wait to do some good excercise though as for this week Dr Rikka De Roy recommended that I should rest my knee as much as possible given that I have strained it a little bit! She even subscibed me some medicine which I won't take for she doesn't really know how come I have such knee-pain...
So I'll only be taking in her advice and rest it as much as I can! So I can wait with ease on Brantano...
Then saturday evening came! Went to an Irish Pub with the Salsa Dancer and had a glass of wine!! It was quite good! Then we headed to good salsa bar whereby we stayed dancing for some time! Then headed back home to rest and be able to wake up for the Sunday mass...
Had lunch together and then we both parted way so that I could do some study and he could do his laundry...got back to me after that!!
Wowww...and then it was Monday!! Rushed to the library printed out my research paper proposal and then hit the secretariat office and handed it in there!
Hit the shops afterwards! Bought some groceries!
Then I had classes in the evening and after my classes I went out to meet up with some Maltese friends who came over to Leuven for the LEST conference which is taking place this week...it took off yesterday...Indeed I attended one of the Junior Paper Sessions where my budy delivered a paper with great success...I was so proud of him...he truly had a very clear cut presentation whereby everyone could follow with great ease and when the discussion floor was opened he was so well prepared that he truly conveyed that he knows his work and material!
Good for you John!! Keep on rolling!!
By then I had been at the faculty for some 7hours...had to wake up early to revise for the Greek test for which I got full marks again!!! I'll have to keep this up!
I was not planning to go for the opening of the LEST conference but in the end was persuaded by my friends to go...and it was all the way worth it! But was so much exhausted....I had a full day yesterday and another one awaiting me today...will be attending a couple of more plenary sessions of the LEST conference and then head to the Biblical Studies seminar and then get to attend a concert in aid of Ghana...
Will get back to you after that...
