So, half a year or more has passed since my last post… This is only a short note to say I’m back… Expect exciting stuff in future…
A strange week, but the best is yet to come… June 5, 2007
The past week most certainly ranks high on my top 10 strangest week lists… It certainly felt like one of the longest weeks I’ve had in a very long time.
First my roommate put me on the spot by revealing she knows my secret… she knows which guy I like… clearly I’m not as good at hiding my feelings as I thought I was…
Secondly my friend, Bettie, and I went to see two movies on two consecutive nights (which I don’t think I’ve ever done) of which the one was a total waste of time and the other one was so amazing that I sent an sms to my whole phonebook to try and get people to go see it…
Thirdly I watched a Will Farrell movie (upon my roomies insistance)… I’ve never really been a huge fan of his… but his kind of funny in a really stupid way… no offence…
Also, a few old friends have made contact again… quite nice to hear from them… didn’t expect it at all…
And finally, a good friend of mine’s father passed away yesterday. It’s sad. I’m going to miss him. He was such a good man, with such a good heart. I can’t imagine losing my father, especially not at this age. I can’t even start to imagine what she and her mom and brother are going through…
I hope your week has kept you going, and that the week ahead holds many a good thing for you and your loved ones!
By this time next week I’ll be very close to my final destination… London, England… I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I survived!! May 26, 2007
I actually came out of this week alive! Although I should add that I took Thursday and Friday off just to recover after the 3 back to back tests… Went to see Pirates 3 yesterday. Now I don’t know about you, but Pirates 2 wasn’t the best ever in my opinion. But Pirates 3 – now there’s a good movie if ever I’ve seen one! It was awesome!
So the week ahead holds two tests – one on Tuesday and one on Friday – and lunch with my gay friend (which is always interesting, to say the least).
Be good, have fun and remember to always dance in the rain!
A hectic week ahead May 19, 2007
I know it’s been a while since my last post… my semester tests start on Tuesday, and I’ve been studying like a crazy person… I’m writing Financial Accountin at 19:00 on Tuesday, Private Law at 09:00 on Wednesday, and Statistics at 09:00 on Thursday, and that’s only the first week…
Other than that life’s been good… although it’s raining and cold… the winter has officially reached Stellenbosch… it’s a nice change from the sweltering summer heat, but the wetness of it all really does get to me…
Anywho, may this coming week be one to remember – in any way you wish… Make the most of it, it won’t come around again, I promiss… and if it doesn’t go well, don’t sweat…
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!

Birthdays and stuff February 25, 2007
I turned 19 yesterday…
my first birthday without my parents
I never thought I’d enjoy it so much, but they say you learn something new everyday and I guess that’s true.
I spent the weekend with a new friend and her family. It was quite strange to share my birthday with people I’d never spent any time with. To have someone else’s mother wish me a happy birthday before my own mother has.
We were in a small seaside village that I had never visited before. Pringle Bay. It is such a beautiful, peaceful place and it reminded me of the fact that we must all make time for peace and quiet in our lives… especially in this place, with all its activities, committees and all the academic pressure…
hopefully this week will be a peaceful one
my life needs more peace right now!!!
have fun
As good as it gets… today February 10, 2007
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!!
