Hey you bastards

[Robert Jan]

I´m posting from a cybercafe as I don´t get a cable hookup in my new room
till friday.

I moved from Goeree-Overflakkee in Holland to Leuven in Flanders, Belgium to study medicine in the University here.

I have been here since wednesday and so far I have mostly been settling things like getting a Belgian mobile phone account, getting a cable hookup, getting an ID pass, getting a bike and signing up for stuff.

Leuven is an ancient Catholic academic city and while it´s small there are about 50 k students here.

It´s very quiet here though. The courses don´t start till sept 28th so most students are still on holiday or at their parents house or whatever.
There are many student´s bars and they are as of now either next to empty or closed. So I don´t have much to do. I made a few friends though and they have a party tomorrow night so I´m going and hopefully meeting some more people. I moved here this early because in Holland the Uni´s open at sept 1st so all my friends already left my hometown anyway.

This place is very international. There´s people from all over the world including many from the USA. Maybe some of you have been or know someone.

Somebody tell me something purposeful to do until then.

Any gyms?

Hey, should any of us care?

Why don't you try that sucking your own cock thing again? You used to be good at that, remember?

Yeah, I'm in a fantastic mood tonight.

 

[Robert Jan]

There is a Uni gym but it does not open until october 4 and I have been told it´s very overcrowded because they made it so cheap.

So I got a membership in a private gym and while it´s far too happy and clean for my liking, they have weights and dumbs and a rack so I´m ok.

I find them expensive though. They´re the cheapest in town. I guess I never appreciated how lucky I was with my old gym. I´m also more aware of money now that nI do my own finances.

Do you speak French?

 

[MrMuscle]

I love joining new gyms. it always gives my workouts a boost.

It does, doesn´t it. It gave me some new fuel too

 

[Robert Jan]

Do you speak French?

Very poorly, only a very little bit. This part of Belgium is predominantly Dutch speaking though. Given that´s Dutch with a thick accent. I´m already getting infected with it. My gf made fun of me on the phone

All the courses in uni here are in Dutch

 

[RottenWillow]

Flems (Flemish) is the predominant language in Belgium. Flemish is Dutch. The French speakers are actually the minority.

 

[Robert Jan]

That´s changing though. You see in the French schools they teach one hour of Dutch as an extra language a week and in the Dutch schools they teach 3 hours of french. So the French is slowly taking over. This town is sort of on the language border, it´s right next to Brussels which is very bilingual.

 

[Robert Jan]

There´s a place near my home that sells huge ass sorta burgers except with no sauce, good quality bread and good quality meat in it. Basically a big tasty cheap meal for a healthy guy. I´m a pick one up now.

Because the French speakers are in control of the government....assholes. It's cultural genoside.

GNAR KILL REVOLT etc you get the idea.

The Netherlands should annex Flanders. There's an idea....

[brunette]

[tuc biscuit]

I lived with 2 belgian girls at uni, I feel sorry for you reinier.

True....I have met quite some Belgian chicks myself and only one I liked..I don't know if that's just me though....

 

[Robert Jan]

ooooh fresher's week! are you gonna get slaughtered?

Not yet anyway. When the season starts later this month perhaps there will be some "feet" rituals (short for fetus)

the guys I talked to here told me they are veru conservative and hard to get in bed with, and that they envied Dutch guys because Dutch women are easier. I do hope they simply have no game and they are wrong...

I do actually plan on a library visit, to kill time and because I´m still looking for some novels. I´ll keep my eyes open. Well not the whole time, they´d dehydrate...

 

[Robert Jan]

They sell waffles everyfuckingwhere here. Specially in Brussels. I don´t eat them. they make me fat

 

[biteme]

Good luck Reineer. Once school starts, I doubt we'll be hearing much from you. Stay the course and succeed.

why are u going to school over there might i ask, where did u used to live?

 

[Carmen]

I think that IS where he lives.
he just talks normal, like us.

 

[Robert Jan]

I moved here to study because this uni is good and because I didn´t get picked in the draw for medical school in Holland. In Holland they have like a med school lottery in Belgium they have a far more justified and effective entry exam

If I had passed both the lottery and the exam, I´d have picked Belgium too

Thanks biteme

 

[Testosterone boy]

Apparently the university has not been duly informed that you already know everything?

I would work on this problemo bro.

 

[Subzeero]

Wow, you need lotteries to get into med school? how long is it? Did you go directly from high school, or had to do something in undergrade studies? I am doing my undergrade and I am starting on wednesday. I will study human biology for four years before being eligible to apply for med school. And it costs a lot unfortunately. A couple of boys I know are a few hundred thousand dollars in depth but they just finished two years ago. I wish you the best. what a pleasent surprise!!

Directly from high school, but a some more advanced HS program that about
10% of youth here complete. In Holland it´s 6 years to be doctor and in belgium 7 but you really need to specialise and get the phd to get something out of the study so 11 years is a decent estimate... but those specialisation years you are already making some money, so you´re not a broke ass student in a dorm anymore.

I´m paying a staggering 512 dollars a year for this program. another 800 or so for all the books.

I know this is unthinkable in the USA. It´s heavily subsidized here. This is a top school. All the buildings are ancient, stylish, well kept, and huge.
