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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 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!

 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…

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I–
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I always do!

 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…

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

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!

 If you can keep your head when all about you

  Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

  But make allowance for their doubting too:

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

  Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated don't give way to hating,

  And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;

  If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

  And treat those two impostors just the same:.

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

  Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

  And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

  And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings,

  And never breathe a word about your loss:

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

  To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

  Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

  Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

  If all men count with you, but none too much:

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

  With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

  And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!
