So lately things have indeed been rather shitty. But now it all seems to be coming in order. Well, if one views it in context to the greater scale of things anyhow. They need to change the gear box of my car. Which is pretty sad, imagine all the pretty shoes I could have bought instead. But at the same time, I'm getting my baby back. I'm taking out the stitches tomorrow. Changing my hair tomorrow. [side bar: AAAAAHHHH SO EXCITEDDDD!!!!] The money should be in my account by now, but well...with my luck I probably sent it somewhere else haha. Then I have to wait until next week when (fingers crossed) the Swedish ones arrive. What else is there? Still no new table, but shit just have to wait. Hmmmm... Is that it? Car/wallet/hospital... Ohyes, my shitty marks might just take me to exams after all. Although there ain't no playing around with these exams, ahhhh so much pressure.

I fetched the parcels from mother dearest on Monday and hung the curtains wearing 15 cm stilettos, who the fuck needs a man?! Hahaha! Also got taco spices to feed the whole of Africa.

Rihanna is performing on Wednesday next week and I have yet to decide if it's worth all the hassle that trip will bring. Although I've pretty much decided that it's not worth the pain it will cause and create. Just too bloody close to the exams.

Been contemplating this whole Korea story as well. Might just be what I need. Not ready to grow up quite yet. 


I turn 25 on Friday. All I really want to do is to eat sushi and drink strawberry daiquiris all night long. 






Sunday, October 6









So lets just say these past two months might just not have been to my favour. Or maybe they have. Depending on how one view the situation. My car is still rather busted - but I haven't crashed it so I'm still alive and kicking. My body is bruised and scarred and filled with stitches - but it didn't cut my spine so I can still walk. My marks are really shitty - but still enough to get DP and write the exams. My heart is beyond broken and bruised - but I'm still happier now than I've been for the other months and I'm doing it on my own, independent.

Last week of being 24. Quite insane how quickly the time has passed. Almost exams and then one more year left of varsity. Thereafter heaven knows what I'm going to do. Never thought I'd be in this situation if you'd asked me last year when everything was planned and plotted. Funny how things changes.

Rihanna the 16th, don't know if it's worth going. Or if I should just give up and go, get a car and drive back. But then it will all be for nothing. However, it's not like I have ever taken the easy way out before so why would I start now?

Thursday, September 5





So once again I have no idea what the world have got in store for me. Today I've had a class, we have been to some school in the coloured parts of this town and informed them of their rights to education - or well, first we got lost on our way there, no surprises - went home with a throbbing headache and decided to sleep it off, didn't work so I overdosed on painkillers and slept some more. My lesbian lover phoned and was balling her eyes out in the phone, have still no idea what she was going on about between the sobs, been finishing off my human rights notes, and now I'm having cream soda and watching the latest episode of The Newsroom. Ahh, and still no car. But it's all okey, I've come to terms with the fact I shall be without a car for the coming future. And although I know I probably should swallow my pride and just make that phone-call in order to get one, I just can't get myself to do just that. So I will rather learn this bus-system, do love riding the bus after all.

Anything else? My body aches after the tennis on Tuesday so busy sitting with my hot-water bottle. Gotta love this thing. Could kill for a massage, but don't have the time for anything else but being focused. Oh, and I have a new crush, but doubt he likes me back so it's all butterflies in a world of misery, but maybe it's for the better.

Until next time, do yourselves a favour and get Rita Ora's album Ora and Ariana Grande's album Yours Truly- to die for!

Sunday, June 30

So I'm going insane. I switched on my old phone last week after 6 months radio-silence. And that was a  fucking retarded idea of mine. So now I'm feeling depressed or well, pathetic really, thinking that a year didn't mean anything. And I miss Matt. But I can't stand to go to CT now. Too lazy, too tired, too damaged. And I got my results back, distinctions in the bag baby! Haha. Luckily something is going my way these days.

Tomorrow I need to go and fix my nails as I managed to break one last night and then abused women, then I shall be buying a new sofa. Because I need something new in my life and men are a complete waste of time.

Thursday, March 21

It is a long weekend in Africa. I have three places where I ought to be - but I am rather certain I will remain in my flat, being the hermit I am. Especially since I've finally managed to clean it. Reckon I will be making pasta carbonara for supper and continue my Boston Legal / Sex and the City marathons. Need to get a new book, can't take more Swedish at the moment. Also we really need to order the gown etc for graduation.

Anyhow, what's new this side?
Well this week I've merely written tests, had some random supper and plenty of food cooked for me. Love the weirdness of all of it. Other than that. Nothing happens and I either spend time in class or busy studying. Rather lovely though. Found a new project I'm actually keen in doing - cooperation over borders or something of similar kind.

That's about it. Gonna make food and put on a pot of coffee and put away the dry cleaning and then just chill in front of the TV with my phone switched off. Lovelovelove.



Thursday, March 7


Too satisfied with my new babies!

So I'm back in the Bay. Fresh start. The world laying at my feet.
LLB. New number. No boyfriend. New bedroom. Fresh flowers.
Love it.


Friday, January 4


So this holiday have been spent doing...absolutely nothing. Reading books, creating playlists, clearing out the computer, travelling by plane, train and cars, sleeping in hotel and on couches, meeting people, ignoring people, losing myself and hopefully, just in time for the plane to land in PE, found myself again.

Favourite book: Looking for Alaska / Sandmannen

Favourite series: Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23 / Hart of Dixie

I MADE IT I MADE IT I MAAAADE ITTTT!!!!!!

Whoopwhoopwhoop! Life is pretty good right now waaaa!!

Wednesday, December 5





So much chaos. Matt and I are about as finished as a couple could ever have been. The marks are still not out. I've spent tons of time at the abused women centre and now I'm at home, watching Suits and trying to pick which shoes to pack and what outfit to wear.

Sunday, December 2




So I can't sleep, thus I'm cleaning. Busy with my second load of washing and it's 8.01. Now I'm eating toasted ciabatta bread with raspberry-jam and coffee meanwhile trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do with my life.

Watched movies with Elm yesterday; Snow White and the Huntsman & Puncture. Snow White wasn't too bad at all! Puncture on the other hand was slightly lame, but with a valid message I suppose.

Otherwise I've realised nachos isn't my thing anymore since Nay and I went to Cubana on Friday and I couldn't even finish half my plate. Such a disappointment really! Then Elm and I packed her things together and her car is currently filled to the breaking-point with everything from shoes to kitchen appliances to the chair she has lying in the passenger seat, went to Spur for supper and News Cafe for a drink. Yesterday we did absolutely nothing but went to Nando's for supper and watched the movies. And today she's leaving for Oudts and I shall be vacuuming, dusting and mopping. The rate this place gets dirty still amazes me! Furthermore I'm almost done packing; it's down to the final decision of which handbag shall I be travelling with and which shoes shall I bring with...decisionsdecisions!


So the results are published next week. Until then I will be pounding grape. Tata!

Monday, November 26



DOOOOONE!

Or well, finger's crossed until the results are out. So far I've bonded with tequila. And that's about all I can tell for sure. The blue marks on my body confirm I seem to have been fallen around more than usual. It's all a mystery really. Other than this I can inform you that I have tried to start packing. Let's just say, I'll try again a little bit later. Then I am going to purchase christmas gifts and hopefully receive this alleged parcel which is about....two months too late....and according the webpage have been in transit from Joburg since the 2nd November. It must be growing legs and walking here itself. Also I've been baking! A cardamon-cake! Too yummy!

That's about it. I shall try to choose one of the endless amounts of books which mother dearest sent, and make myself a cup of tea and crawl up in bed.

Tomorrow I shall be cleaning. Oh how nice to vacuum and dust away all the exam-stress!

Thursday, November 22


The joy about reading about autonomy, 02.13 in the morning. I mean, it doesn't get much better than this. It involves satisfying one's own preferences rather than having them satisfied by others, and it involves accomplishing things rather than merely enjoying well-being. It's too amazing really. 4 questions a 25 marks. 9.00 in the fucking morning. Lovelovelove!



Wednesday, November 21


So there's 13.5 hours left until my last exam.
How much do I know you might wonder.
Well dear admirers it is not as much as one would expect.
I do however know that I have a thousand mosquito-bites.

That's about it.
Farewell.

Tuesday, November 20


I found a cap I bought when I was in CT with mother dearest!
Too nice!
Now: Summer's Memorandum, Schooling Vouchers and Unemployment...
Final undergrad - Economics module!
*Finger's Crossed*
So I wake up so an email from one of my professors:


Several students write: “The government must higher more teachers." 
How high?
How must they be lifted, with a rope around their necks?

...then he gets a reply....

Dear Sir
I am sure I am one of those students what we mean is that if the government could invest more on education,to be able to hire more teachers. And maybe give incentives to teachers to inspire them to always do their jobs with passion and determination.

....which he replies to...



Dear Ms Makinza,

Fortunately, a nod is as good as a wink, or, if you allow me to be less modest: a few words to the wise suffice.

 


 ...Ah it's too great to almost be done..!

Monday, November 19

So Ali and I went to eat. Now I have a food baby. Can barely move. So sad. Watching Boardwalk Empire. Episode 10. Lovelovelove! Contemplating changing into my new sleeping shorts that I got from Nay. And light candles. And make myself a cup of coffee. Ah life is too nice sometimes!

For those who don't know what to get me for my graduation present. Here is an example:


Aaah! There could actually be so that I can graduate next year after all!


Let me walk you through my morning. So I put the alarm on for 5.30 so I can go through all multiple choice questions again as the lecturer have been repeating questions in both semester tests (hello 96% DP!). Press snooze. Press snooze. Press snooze. Glance at the papers but my eyes hurt too much due to lack of sleep. Snooze. Snooze. Snooze. Drag myself out of bed at 8.20. Find a dress and baseball cardigan. Brush my teeth. Trying to find a calculator. Find a calculator. Double check I have my student card. Find sunglasses. Car keys. Grab a croissant and red bull from the fridge. Unlock my door. Step outside. Lock my door. Walk to my car, unlock it and place everything I'm carrying onto the passenger seat. Praise my excellent taste in music when the CD starts playing. Reverse and open the gate simultaneously. Eat the croissant while driving to Summerstrand. Arrive at the Indoor Sport Centre, park as far away as possible....not by choice. Have a smoke while walking to the venue. Find a place to sit. Sit down. Fill out papers of not cheating and what not. 9.00. Receive the paper. Two hours to go. Turn the paper over. Go straight to the long questions..... I UNDERSTAND THE FIRST ONE, I UNDERSTAND THE SECOND ONE, OH MY FUUUUCK I UNDERSTAND THE THIRD ONE ASWELL!!!!! (All inside my head obviously). Answer the questions. Guess my way through MPC as she's merely repeating two questions. Oh the relief!

Now there's only Development and Economic Ethics left on Thursday. But today I shall be resting. Just took a looong shower and busy watching Criminal Minds and drinking coffee. And finally the tap in the kitchen is fixed after some plumber fella was here to sort it out.

So I need to start studying again soon. Memorising 28 answers ftw...!

Anyhow, went and got Nandos and returned Matt's phone. Was waiting in the five-way-crossing and the lady (assuming it was a she...) across seemed to have better things to do than drive so I drove, figured she'll see that and wait... But oh how wrong I was. But suppose she saw me eventually cause I'm still alive and my car don't have more dents than usually. That was about how exciting that trip was.


Saturday, November 17


So labour economics..is about as much fun as one could anticipate I suppose.
Ahh, I just want some holiday. And alcohol. Oh sweetsweet alcohol <3 p="p">

Friday, November 16

My lips are dry - maybe from missing yours, maybe because of the sun. I'm not sure. Because I know it's for the better that you're not coming back. Because I'm finally too whole to break, and you're too broken to fix.

Monday, November 12

Sunday, November 11

So Company Law is finished and done with, unless the mark allocation fucked me over totally. Went to watch the Arsenal game after that and met some fella who has two boyfriends and they are all living together. And for that brief second my life seemed so very normal. Then we had supper and I went home to watch the latest episode of Greys and Partners. Woke up this morning and went to print stuff at the labs. I really need to buy ink for my printer...

After a pop-in by Ali I'm trying to focus on Development Economics. Writing on Tuesday and I just want to crawl into a ball until Matt gets back. It is rather surreal how this man has the timing of a god in order to be out of town when I'm turing into a wreck.

Anyway, need some red bull and a bitch slap to get somewhere.



Monday, November 5

Stuck studying. And eating. That's about all i do. And drink coffee obviously. Feeling like an oversized big mama who's brain is busy decomposing as we speak. But not without the excruciating pain which is making me want to chop off this head of mine.

Tomorrow I'm saving the world then studying some more. It is oh so depressing.



Thursday, November 1

So all DPs are in the baaaaag!

Exams are written as follows:

  • Company Law - 10 November - 14.00
  • Development Economics - 13 November - 14.00
  • Labour Economics - 19 November - 9.00
  • Economic and Development Ethics - 22 November - 9.00
Then I'm going to Sweden the 7th December. 
Hopefully with this goddamn BCom Law degree as my new best friend.

What I want for graduation present? 
  • Camera
  • Watch
  • Espresso machine
  • New garden
  • ....... Or just an indication of the right direction for my life haha.



Tuesday, October 30


New painting!

So. Coffee. A woman's best friend.

Sunday, October 28

Sorry for the lack of updates. And lack of presence at Skype. And Whatsapp. Or my Phone in general. And Facebook. And anywhere else anyone might have want to get hold of me. My sincerest apologies.

It is just that...life sort of happened. It is almost exam period and next week all DPs will be published. Am I scared? More like terrified. But I'm so tired of worrying so right now I do absolutely anything but think about it. Unfortunately I went to Oudtshoorn for a week. Where I had to think. Because well lets face it, there's just so much a person can do in a setting of such nature. I just got elected on some board that's trying to save the environment, it would be a shame to give up on the dream of becoming a superhero. As well, I think I've decided I want to study a master in Sweden when I'm done with my LLB. Other than that I'm busy bleaching my hair to its utmost ability. And playing chess. And watching Arsenal & Criminal Minds, as well as abusing substances.

If you want something pretty to follow, rather do it via tumblr or twitter.

Until the next time, here's a fan picture that you can frame and put on your bedside table.
