HOLIDAYS!

I have not blogged in a while so i thought i would share some storied of my adventures over the past week or so.

I finished my coursework for my masters on Saturday the 13th. I handed in my social justice project a few days before that and had my take home exam on friday the 12th. It was a looooong 24 hours and probably the worst exam i have ever done- it was long, stressful, tiring and just overall bad! I have 4 hours of sleep, 3 red bulls and a lot of coffee! But it is over and I wait until Dec 10th to get my results.

I celebrated my freedom by sleeping for 12 hours- yes, I am old and i no longer party! It was a beautiful, wonderful, peaceful sleep and the best 12 hours i had had in a while! I also drank some wine with Jacqui which made me happy too :-D

I had one week on Cape Town before i left for Durban and wanted to make the most of it. I spent this week enjoying 2 for 1 burgers at spur on Monday (yum yum), watching a movie at half price movies on Tuesday (Life as we know it- depressing but happy movie), going to the soccer on Wednesday (mucho exciting), having some girlie time on Thursday and ending my week with a lovely trip to Hermanus filled with good food, wine and whales!!

A wonderful week to end the year in Cape Town. Now I am back in hot and humid Durban in my little, now purple, room. I have left my 'less than perfect' red car (which i still love) in Cape Town and returned to a 'even more less than perfect' grey car here. As i arrived in Durban, my mom informed me that she locked the keys in the car and we needed to break into the car so we could drive home from the airport. Luckily this type of thing happens all the time in my family, and the back window can easily be removed. So out the window came, we retrieved the keys and got in the car. My mom then informed my that the spark plug or cylinder was out and the car was a little 'stuttery'. So we had a very, well bumpy, drive back to home. We made it- thank goodness! And had some popcorn for supper.

Since my eventful arrival I have done pretty much nothing. I managed to locate a charger for my laptop which had broken, so i was back to action with le computer in hand. I learnt that my harddrive could not be fixed and had to be wiped in order to work again, so i lost all my hard collected movies- this made me sad! I have moved a desk into my little purple room so that i can work on my thesis, and i have watched some mindless tv.

Tomorrow i shall visit the hairdresser- Whoop Whoop! And on Friday I will go to the doctor for a check-up. Tomorrow night i also have thanksgiving dinner which is being cooked by my dad's American students, which shall be exciting and taste good! And this weekend i plan on seeing the new Harry Potter.

Between that, i fill my time thinking about my thesis and planning on working on it but then sms Rachel and go out and eat cake and drink coffee. perhaps next week I will do more....

That is my exciting masters holiday life in a nutshell!
Enjoyable and stressfree- just the way i like it! :-D
