RETURN

Fri, 09 Feb 2007 17:47:11 GMT

After 2 months, I have returned!

Lets start at the beginning. We went to Pakistan and it was cold. A little while later it was still cold. A few days after that and the cold continued. Thats all that happened. Cold, weddings, food, shopping and cold. I'd rather not say more, for fear of boring certain people to death. It got terribly tense the week before my results were announced. I couldn't sleep. I did well though I was accepted into UCT and Wits med....

(Then happened Xmas and New Year)

I got home on the 27th January. Registered on Monday and got a student card with a horriffic pic of me on it Fortunately, someone elses's looked much worse than mine so it was ok

(Frantic clothes shopping)

O Week. What a nightmare for my feet. If I had to describe Wits in one word, it would be 'stairs'. I didn't go crazy during O week. I only found out later that I was supposed to Why does no one tell me such things before hand?!?!?! I signed up for a million things, just because I could. People laughed at some of the things though. Seems I joined a weed smoking society by accident

Ooh Ooh!! I joined Wits Model UN and met our very own joburgboy manning the stand Yay! I was very impressed with him, he managed to pronounce my name right first time It takes a helluva lotta skill to do that.

First year Med students need to do a First Aid course if they aren't qualified. Guess who's certificate got lost? Mine. I had to complete the entire 2 day course, one thats 2 levels behind my qualification AND pay R 500 for it What a waste of my life. I also decided today to change my maths course to Psychology. Not a good plan. My mom ran around wits like a headless chicken trying to get it sorted while I was attempting to revive a dummy I

This log was typed in a hurry. A more sensible one will come tomorrow, hopefully

Greetings All!

It’s the 15^th of November and I’m officially in between. Not a school girl, not a student. Its really weird to think of myself as an Old Girl…

I must be honest; I thought this day would never come. Its exactly 6 weeks since I started writing. Six long and torturous weeks. The exams did not kill me however. I didn’t not cry after a single one… although I came close after Algebra…

I’m here now. And shall be here until the 5^th of December, when I’ll be dragged away to Pakistan for the holidays. Joy of my life.

I’ll be overseas when my results come through

I really hate this idea that millions of people can have a look at how you did in the exams. It really unnerves me…

It still hasn't really hit home that I'm done with 12 years of schooling. I mean, I've said all my goodbyes, shed the obligatory tears and reminisced with complete randoms... and yet, I still have this feelin that I'll wake up tomorrow at 7, put on my uniform and go to school. This feeling that I'll discuss my weekend with my friends, moan about parents, make snide remarks about teachers, stare distastefully at my uniform and worry about homework that I haven't done (again)...

Its quite sad.

At the same time, I can't help but feel ever so liberated. More than I have ever felt ion my life. I feel so... content

News News !!!!!

I was not accepted into Pretoria Med . I ceased to be pissed or upset when I received the sms from them though. They got my degree wrong and couldn't spell unsuccessful

Wits Med is waiting for my Matric Results before making their decision. Soemone shoot me now.

UCT Med accepted me! Yay! I got cool Res too, so everythings just great However, if I get into Wits, I'm staying in JHB. Partents can't bear to part with me and all that.

Erm... what else is news.... Oh ya, Iv finished Matric You should've seen me bouncing around the school today...

Oh yes... I am LEGAL!! Although, that's quite old news. I became legal the day before my English exam Needless to say, I haven't had a chance to celebrate properly... PARTY, here I come

Thats all I can think of. Something interesting will come up soon. I'm sure of it...

Greetings all...

Finals start tomorrow, which is the reason I've been rather scarce.

I hope I live through it... If not, you are all welcome at my funeral.

Iv'e chopped off a large portion of my one metre long hair. I was feeling rebellious. My mother was not impressed.

Ramadhaan would be going great if I didn't have these constant hunger pains. Its awful trying to study through them...

We just had our Valediction yesterday. Our official goodbye. It finally hit that i was really leaving, had blurry eyes all night

I'm not sure if I'll have the chance to speak to you all during the next 6 weeks so... See you after the 15th November!

I thought I should try my hand at being profound. It did not work out quite as planned, unfortunately. Therefore, I am not. Leave that to the pros.

Note that I sound like a pompous ass. It is because I am typing on word and the damn thing is automatically changing my contractions and my bad word choices. I apologise profusely…

Right. Now that that has been cleared up, I can get to the… er… interesting stuff.

Pffft. Whom am I kidding (Whom?! Who says that anyway? Damn Microsoft Word). This post is going to be dull. Stick around/do not. There might be a spark of humour somewhere in the middle. If you decide not to stick it out, comment anyway:

I still have not received my results. The universities are being exceptionally slow, and I am still living in this little ball of nervousness… God damn them all!
My wisdoms have been scared into silence until after Finals. Its incredible how effective some mild persuasion with a hammer can be…
To MaddMixer: I have no inspiration lately. No energy either. When they come, I shall post an amazingly funny, mind bogglingly witty and completely random post. Please bear with ‘My week so far’ posts until then. My freak funny mood has passed. I swear I am normal again. The flowers look better now! Do not argue with me on that one. Say hi to Cow and Chicken for me. It was good seeing you too. But I’m highly offended as you left without saying goodbye.
To LoveAndPolitics: There is a gay and lesbian website with the same name as yours. I have no desire to catch Bin Laden as that would be treachery. If you would like to meet him though, I will organise a tea party. My drug-induced high is now over. I am currently very low. I Must Have Codeine!
To Salaam_Namastes_Cool: I would translate, but I am mighty confused myself.
To JoburgBoy: Go to the dentist or forever hold the pieces of teeth that could not be saved! I will have to buy a crate of Red Bull… Moreover, get some codeine too (Moreover… Good lord! The sentence sounds ridiculous. I suppose it is better than in addition to, which was its first choice) Last time I mixed the two, I was on the ceiling for hours
To ChristinaAlexia: Getting high on painkillers RULES! Especially in conjunction with Caffeine…
To Chainsaws_in_the_morning: Thank you. My life is now complete. I am a happy, fulfilled person
To Murz_3: The happiness is a façade beneath which I hide my agony. Believe not all you read. (Now that sounds deep)
To NicNak17: I expect my name to be honoured too! Its sucks that my legality does not actually matter until November, seeing as how I am under house arrest.

Hmm… not bad, I managed to fill an entire A4 page with complete twok, and still sound pompous about it.

To make up for this shocking post and to give me ideas for the next one, you all (being those that commented on my last post, awful as it was…) are allowed to ask me something about me. ANYTHING. I give you permission. And I promise I shall answer. (If it is really embarrassing, I’ll email the answer to you or something)

So go ahead and ask whatever your sick minds come up with I love answering personal questions

Ps: I won 1500 Smarties the other day. Yay! Was a huge, massive ass jar! And it’s already very depleted… I love Smarties

PPs : I’m shocked to discover that I quite like Sexy Back. Damn. There goes my reputation.

PPPS : Today was my last day of proper school ever. I am almost free.

Sigh. It’s getting closer and closer to the end of the month. I’ve been a regular ball of worry. My future rests in one SMS… that’s taking its sweet time arriving… someone shoot me please…

As of today I have exactly 7 school days of my final school year left. It hasn’t quite sunk in yet. I guess it’s because we’re still going to school and having lessons as normal. Nothing seems different although everything is. The grade does seem to be getting more excitable with each passing day.

Damn. One week. One measly little week left. Followed by study leave. Then the F-word pitches up. Growl. I haven’t even thought about studying yet. To put it frankly, I don’t feel like it. Which is a slight problem.

Something very unfortunate has happened. After 11 months of living in peace and harmony, my Wisdom Teeth have decided to turn rebel. They hurt like ****** ******!!!! Even so, I can’t have them removed just yet. I can’t afford the time. The dentist said I’ll be unconscious for about 3 days, and in massive agony for a week. Somehow, I don’t think that’ll be conducive to me working very hard… so I have to wait until after the F-word is over (mid-November). In the meantime I’ve been given my own personal pharmacy. I’m going to be drugged silly. I’m just praying that they don’t go out of control. It’ll be a nightmare situation…

Hmm… More unfortunate things. I seem to be a screwed up accident prone little girl. I’ve bruised my coccyx. I don’t know when or how, but it has happened. And it is a pain! I’m unable to sit. Whenever I’m forced to, it’s a long complicated procedure. You have no idea how difficult it is to find a strategic sitting position. I’m going to be forced to get a donut cushion. Which will kill my pride. How can you ever watch someone sit on one of those and not laugh??? Exactly! You can’t!!!

No good news. I apologise profusely. It’s not my month it seems!

Oh, Happy Birthday to CrazyGillyBean, who is finally legal. And to NicNak17 who became legal on Sunday. And to Murz3 who became a teen on Sunday. J And to anyone I left out… Happy, Happy Birthday to you all!!!!

We did a VERY RESPONISIBLE THING at school today. We're all planting trees. The plan was for each class to babysit 2 trees each. When they're old enough, theyr'e going to be planted in schools and areas in poorer areas that have none. Thoughtful, no? Well, I thought so anyway...

{I was going to insert something interesting in this space, but it escaped me }

Till next time

PS : Do not slam swinging doors. It hurts.

PPS: I’m spending my holidays in Pakistan. Someone please slit my wrists.

Its been absolute ages.

I was hoping that with the amount of time that's gone passed, I'd have a whole lot of really interesting things to share with everyone. No such luck, I'm afraid.

My weeks can be defined as, School, eat, sleep. Sometimes the eat part is left out. During the past weeks, I've been going to bed at 6pm. Pretty much exhausted all the time (for no apparent reason) Which is why I've been so scarce.

I've now reverted back to sleeping at 1 am though. The realisation that finals are in less than a month kinda freaked me out. This doesn't mean I've started working though (obviously... have you ever met me!!!) I just feel better about myself now that I have a legitimate reason to be tired everyday.

Something is, however, more terrifying than finals at this point. My admission results are due this month. They're coming via sms (WHY?!?! The torture of it all) So I get really jumpy whenever the damn thing vibrates.

Sigh

Happy happy happy...

Even waking up at 7 am to get ready for a maths lecture couldn’t put a damper on my week. I’m on a high that 3 people have tried to bring my out of. It hasn’t worked. I’m still an excitable, happy little girl

I shan't be posting my long novel. Suffice to say 'YAY!!!!'

You know, instant coffee was first introduced in 1901. The start of the century. The century where man made the most progress,EVER. Coincidence? I think not! Coffee totally kicks tea's ass. I mean, tea's been around for thousands of years! What happened during those?

Of course, this last century also produced the worst wars... but you can't have everything!

My random ramble for the day...

A not entertainig week. A few notices :

I received my report today. You'll remember from a few days ago that I said I got 79.4%... I was a bit off it seems.. By about 3%

I've finally finished with my enormous Programming Project. The complete printout is about the size of a textbook, and heavy enough to cause brain damage if aimed correctly.

To loveandpolitics : I did not get an A for History either...

We had our Grade photograph taken. It took an hour and a half, and apart from the few passing outs, fits and concussions twas relatively uneventful. There was that little problem of the tornado that pitched the exact second the photograph was taken... sigh...

By the By: This Wednesday marked 700 days of xanga-ing for me. Most of the people I started with have gradually drifted away. I considered it myself. Didn't work. I cannot quit anything. Ever. This is not a good thing. Especially when it comes to things that hurt more than help. My unwillingness to quit stems from this really arb desire to never EVER disappoint others. Which is probably why I'm gonna have a bloody crap life...

What a day! They tried so hard to ruin it for us, but we had a blast all the same.

We arrived at school in school uniform, about ½ an hour before the rest of the school and got to work.

Signs went up outside teacher’s classrooms. The teachers who had left their classrooms open came back to find them in not quite the same state they had left them in.

Ms Horwitz, for example, found her class decorated in pink and Britney Spears Posters. Ms Horwitz is a Goth, with a Mohawk sporting boyfriend and a hatred for all things pink and Britney Spears-Like.

Ms Robinson found her office barricade off, with signs from the Department of Health warning of a Frog Infestation. Ms Robinson has a fear of frogs. A phobia really. She refused to enter her office unless it was searched. Twice.

The note on her door read like this

Mrs Robinson.

We have been bombarded with complaints about your office for months.

Your girls have been complaining about something ‘very strange’ taking place in your office. There have been incidents of ‘croaking’ and even a ‘ribbet!’ once. On further investigation, the Department was horrified to learn of your secret Aquarium, and your collection of over 200 frogs living in complete luxury! We quarantined the area at once. Given your history of Amphibophilia, your complete adoration/obsession of all things froglike your arrest shall be delayed until psychological testing has taken place.

Please do not attempt to get in touch with your frogs. Such action shall be dealt with severely.

Yours Sincerely

Dr. MA Tric

Ms Allais, the proper English Teacher found signs-some in really bad English- such as 'Don't Read! Wait for the Movie!' outside her class. I think the spelling made her eye twitch.

Everyone wore Toe Socks, EVERYONE

No one was left untouched

Junior Corridors were cordoned off with construction tape, as were the bathrooms. The bathrooms that were left free had their toilet paper removed and Glad wrap place on the seats. Cell phones purposely went off during assembly. Condoms were flying around. Panties were hung from the flag poles.

From Top Right:

Jess, Beryl, Mandy, Hermien, Nicci, Pregnant Les

Thandz, Fatima, Georgie looking very sexy, the junior bathrooms toilet paper, 'Mr Cereseto' (our headmistresses huband) carrying Ms Megom, Olivia

And that’s as far as we got

Some idiot had painted ‘Matric 06’ in black enamel paint, on the hockey field. It is impossible to get off. We were all screwed.

Usually, on this day, we get to terrorise the grades beneath us. Not this year.

Before break, we were escorted by our teachers to the furthest Hockey Field form the school where we were to remain. However, our spirits were not dampened. 500 Water Balloon explosions and 8 sopping matric teachers later, we had our revenge

We spent most of our day at the Lower Hockey field, showing of our outfits, taking pictures, braaing marshmallows, throwing water balloons, and spraying shaving cream on anyone who moved (My hair was hit really hard; being around 1 meter long, it was an easy target for shaving cream-maniacs. The curls hardened and were thereafter used as corkscrews )

It was great fun all the same. The plus side of being stuck away from the rest of the school was that you could attack anyone and not feel the slightest bit of guilt!

The rest of the photos are of the really weird outfits worn on the day. We all got really creative, underwear was the theme all round. I had to make collages of them. My camera works on a ridiculously high quality and each photo was about 2MB!!! It'd take me anout 3 hours to load each one... Hope thes come out ok...
