Student life and all that jazz

Random thoughts of a young woman

All alone April 28, 2007

So today I’m all alone in a town that is usually bursting at the seams with students and such like. It is a long weekend in South Africa – we had a public holiday yesterday and there’s another one coming up on Tuesday, so everyone went home for the weekend… everyoen except me and one or two other random people in res. I could have easily flewn home, but it’s too difficult this weekend at home. My parents are attending a wedding and the fact that we have lectures on Monday just made it that much more difficult to go home.

 Although it is quite nice to be alone. I can sort out myself… you know, get my room back into a liveable state (actually, I’m much neater than I expected I would be) and do some interior decorating… the walls are a bit blah at the moment.

 Also, there’s washing to do and one or two projects and work pieces, etc that need to be completed, so I think I’ll enjoy the quiet time!

To all of you out there, anyone who’s reading this… I would love to read your coments or visit your blogs, so please drop me a line…

And to all you students: I hope you have the time of your life… I know I sure am…

 

For all the One Tree Hill fans out there April 15, 2007

Oh my word!! I cannot believe we have to wait until the 2nd of May to see what happens in the next episode… Poor Peyton… she’s my favourite character after Naley…

I’m not one for spoilers, so I’ll just have to wait patiently to find out what happens, but I’m sure it’s going to be hectic!

I’m a huge fan, by the way. I think it’s the best teen drama out there today. The lessons learned are unbelievably close to home and it’s a very realistic show.

To anyone who doesn’t know what I’m talking about…do yourself a favour and check it out… I doubt you’ll be disappointed!

cheers

 

LIFE CAN GET YOU DOWN…but just get back up April 10, 2007

It has been a while… I went home last week for the first time in three months… It was great to be back with the people I love! I spent a whole week with my family, first at home and then in the Cape on holiday… We had such a great time! But a week is too short to really unwind. However, I think it’s a good thing that I didn’t see them for too long otherwise it would have been too hard to return to Stellenbosch…

I’ve got an assignment for tomorrow and I’m really not in the mood to do it, but it’s one of those things that cannot be ignored.

Sorry for the short entry. I hope to write more often in the coming weeks.

Smile – it gives your face something to do!
