it’s that time of the year again (no, not christmas – but that too is coming around soon!)… it’s exams!! and apart from the copious amounts of gherkins i’ve been munching on – i’ve actually not been procrastinating as much as i usually do. the freeky part though has been having insomnia and hypersomnia at the same time. as usual, i’m a terrible insomniac at exam time, and yet, i find myself sleeping soooo much during the day. it’s probably to make up for my lack of sleep at night, but i’m getting over and above 7hrs of sleep a day!!! freekin me out!!

so… my exam time table looks like this:

4^th november: psychology (written)

13^th november: psychology

15^th november: anthropology

18^th november: anthropology

…eeek! just short of stating the obvious, next week i will be seeing mass fire!!

anyway, on the flip side, this is the last year of undergrad studies. from here on, it’s postgrad or i enter the working world. i still have no idea what i plan to do next year. i’m quite keen on taking some time off from academia and getting a new experience, but then again, i don’t want to lose my momentum. so… here we find ourselves at crossroads, floating along with the current, hoping for the best!

we had a terrible water shortage in grahamstown for about 3 days… there was nooooo water in many many parts of the town – and in some places, no electricity either. many residences on campus were affected, but fortunately, our res wan’t hit. when the water finally came back to the res of campus – we all got muddy water! it was insane! and then there was a scare that the water contained heavy metals and other toxic materials. oi vey. and so… for the next 3 days we all lived on bottled water – kindly sponsored by the uni! phew! now everything’s pretty much back to normal – except that sam refuses to drink tap water until he gets home (thank goodness he’s ok with showering!!!)!! tee hee!

that’s all from me at the mo.

adieu…
