It took a while...

But I finally found some time to work on a new post. Lessons started at the uni, so a lot of deadlines are coming my way. I need to turn in 4 course works and my research proposal for my dissertation at the end of November, so I better start working right now!

The first semester will be quite chill. Since so many students signed up for the HRM course, the university decided to split the group into two. Martijn and I were put into the second group, which means that we have got classes with a lot of part time and PhD student. I am pleased with this fact, since they have more practical experience than the other fulltime students.

Internet finally got fixed at our place, if anyone wants to talk on Skype, please feel free to do so! Username: gilles.smeyers, hit me up! Yoda already did so.

I had to look around for a while, but I finally found a decent (understatement!) place to practice Muay Thai. I joined the Total Martial Arts Academy here in Coventry (http://www.kali-thaiboxing.co.uk and http://www.tma-mma.co.uk) It is a fully equipped gym with 800 square feet of matted area, wooden dummies, punch bags and a 14 square foot boxing ring, offering over 25 classes per week. That has to do the trick.

This Friday Martijn and I hooked up with Julie, Toon and Dries (3 fellow Belgian students), and went clubbing. Martijn shot some footage, and it will be placed on his blog ASAP. Check it out at http://martijnincoventry.blogspot.com/

Because we kind of get bored with Lazy Sunday, Martijn and I decided to introduce Sightseeing Sunday. Today we visited Birmingham; here are some pictures I took with my mobile:

And money is no excuse! Can't wait for Sightseeing Sunday part 2.

Take care,
