This is an absolute disaster. a whole month since my last post... maybe this whole blogging thing isn't for me...
I rate that when I'm back at uni it will be better, I mean I have been on holiday and was studying this whole time...
yes, so I'm on holiday now, I have about 18 days left... Its been nice, I mean in the beginning it was relaxing, we went to Jongensfontein, was freezing there but really nice. um relaxing has all Ive really been doing quite honestly, and I wish I had more to tell, but I truly don't. This, of coarse, I don't know whether its good or bad...
I have been reading committed the sequel to Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. As beautifully written as it is, I'm not married or getting married anytime soon so it's quite a difficulty to get through. Its not much of a story as it is a research project...
The exams were damn stressful, I know I only wrote 2, but I found it extremly diffucult, Im nit sure if it was the studying or the actual writing that was more difficult for me, but in the end I t was difficult. I got my results on the 18th. I PASSED, which, it seems to me is the main priority for a university student... But I do realise I will be needing to get better results eventually if I am to get a bursary or study overseas one day...
Yet, was proud of myself...
So um, now Im totally ready to go back to Rhodes. I have an art project to start and complete before I go back, and I have not started, I can't even think about it... But ya, I miss the smell and all of the trees and my bed that makes such a noise! I miss the lovely faces of the girls in my res and my desk and walking everywhere and going to classes and all those exciting student things... I miss it now.
We went through to Grahamstown twice for the National Arts Festival... so amazing, beautiful art and brilliant shows, as you know, if I was a better and cooler blogger I'd write a proper analysis and review on all of it, but Im not there yet, so maybe next year.
here's a quick vid of some street theatre
I love Grahamstown, one of the most magical places in the world.
anyway, Klaus, my fish died, he got fin-rot, I tried saving him but it was too late, now Fritz is alone, he was able to be healed in time. I really took this badly, I mean, I was extremly attached.....
