Tonight I walked out of the cinema while the movie was still playing! For the first time in my whole life I didn’t watch the whole thing… “Harsh Times” they called it… Suitable title…
My friend and I decided that instead of doing the normal Stellenbosch-student-weekend thing of going out and partying we would go to the Eikestad Mall to watch the 8pm film… we were back at Res at 8:45…
Stellenbosch is approximately 1500km from my home town, and I’m in my first year of studies – I’ve only just finished my first academic week: I AM HOMESICK!! They say it gets better with time…and I’m sure it will, but today really wasn’t such a good day for me. Most of my friends went home for the weekend, since they live only an hour away at most.
I had my first bad experience with a guy a week ago. Really dodgy, totally freaked me out. I think I’ll remain single for just a little while longer… It’s been difficult to avoid him, but it’s better for him that I did.
I wanted to go to Cape Town tomorrow to watch the cricket – South Africa is playing against Pakistan in an ODI… I know it’s weird for a girl to enjoy watching cricket, my friends keep reminding me, but I love it, and that’s that.
To anyone who might be reading this: I appreciate any ideas, comments and/or criticisms that you have to offer. I’m new at this…
And to all the South Africans out there: Ek hoop jy’t ‘n lekker dag!!
