I leave on Thursday for my adventure and as the great planner I am, I feel less nervous and more excited now. A friend said to me today that he found it amusing how I approach this trip in small steps like- I must wash all my clothes tomorrow and then think about to pack and then evaluate the space and then and then and then..... and that is just how I am. A great planner, which has its value and not so much value.
I have had a lovely few weeks at home being nourished (far too much my jeans are telling me!) and loved and pampered. I have been working on my thesis, which due to a few hickups (cough...supervisor...cough) has not gone to plan and I do not think I will be done by Thursday. But we will see. I will definitely get it in by September but was hoping to leave it in South Africa before setting off. Anyway, such is life!
Life is not too exciting besides the off felt fire my dad starts. This man, maybe one of the greatest, smartest people alive, decided to throw some coals from the braai onto a hail stack behind the house because he thought they were out. In his defense, they should have been out as the braai was last night and this was the next morning now. But they were not, and we had mad rushes of flames and a mad dash for the hose pipe (one of which was frozen solid!) and spreading of the hay to get the fire out. It was exciting to say the least!
Besides those odd moments (which are surprisingly common in my house) life is pretty average and quiet. Filled with lists and packing and washing and writing...oh....and watching Boston Legal!
I shall spare you from reading anymore about my dull life and just tell you "Watch This Space" for more exciting stuff to come for the last semester of my Master's Student Life! WHOOP WHOOOP!
Adieu pour aujourd'hui :-D
