As so many people have asked me whether I was going to be "keeping a blog" whilst in England, I've decided to do so anyway. After all, one might tire of the endless stream of status updates on facebook and want to hide me, but alas, how on earth will they then keep up with what I'm doing?
So, a blog.
Moving day was the 13th, however, some logistic problems have muddled with the plans and now I'm not really sure when the move will happen. Some time around it, I suppose. Eurostar-prices are going up every day, so I should actually book now, but alas, the commitment, the commitment... The conditions tell me I am restricted to two suitcases, one item of hand luggage, and three items I can send ahead, including my bike. This means I will have to stuff my whole existence into five meagre bags. And a trunk full of books. Slightly frightening, I must admit. What about my precious DVDs? It's probably quite telling that the only thing I really worry about is my collection of films and how to ship them to the other side, but hey, they're my babies, and you would hardly stuff your babies in a box and send them away without a blink of an eye.
The town is running empty. All around, people are packing, rooms are being cleaned and fridges are defrosted. By the time I'm back from Schotland, Leuven will be deserted. Time flies when you're trying to find a free day to clean. Sometimes, before I go to bed, I take a look around my room and can hardly surpress the urge to just grab a trashbag and throw everything away. Start anew. Leave all my bagage behind and just be free. But then I think, "What about my DVDs..."
