I stayed up really late yesterday changing the look of my blog. I like the way it looks now, but consider changing the picture at the top when I get some new photo's. This one is almost a year old.

Because I went to bed really late, I got up around half past ten instead of eight. That's not that bad, I still had more than enough time to study. But I don't like studying on sunday. So I enjoyed a nice brunch (it was just a late breakfast actually), called my dad and stepdad to congratulate them with fathersday and decided to check my email. I decided to check this blog too, and those of my friends. Four hours later, I was hitting the 'random blog' button every five seconds, with some nice music on the background (I just love K-Love!). I realised I should really start studying instead of wasting my time. So I studied until six. That was only two hours! I should get some selfdiscipline.

I went to church at half past six. I live at a peda when I'm in Leuven. Usually I'm in Leuven during the week, and go home for the weekends. But as I have to study for the exams, I'm staying here for a few weeks. A peda is what you would call a college. I don't get my classes here, but I have my own room, and get breakfast and dinner. It's owned by the university I attend. I love it here, and what is really great: it has it's own chapel with four services a week, all in English. I attend the Anglican church here, and it really helps me to get through the week. I'll post some pictures:

This is how it looks like from the courtyard.

This is the hall, leading from my room to the chapel.

The chapel.

As you can see, it's a fantastic place! It's really quiet here, and I have a huge room. It's actually three rooms: a study, a bedroom and a good-for-nothing room. It's perfect for me, as I have ADHD and have a lot of trouble to stay focused on my books. Having a separate bedroom makes it much easier to see my study as a place for studying only, which makes it easier to concentrate, but also to relax.

As I was saying, I went to church this evening. There were only ten of us, as there was a confirmation ceremony in Brussels which many of the members attended. However, we're not a big church. Usually, there are approximatly twenty people who attend. In comparison to last year, this is a lot, because we used to be with five.

After church I went out to eat. During the weekend the peda doesn't serve meals, and as we don't have a kitchen, we don't have much choice. Peter, a friend of mine, who lives in the same corridor as me, and also studies history, came with me. We went to our favourite Italian restaurant. The owners are actually Turkish, but they serve the best pizzas in town. Afterwards, I went to Breeze. This is a christian youth organisation, who focuses on prayer. On sundayevening however, they open a 'café'. It's really fun hanging around with all christian friends, having a drink. I met some people I hadn't seen in a while and I had a great time.

So, now I'm on here again. Writing this post which was meant to be short. I hope I'll get some more visitors over tonight. I love to see that site meter recording!
