Shucks, I can’t believe it’s the end of the year already. As I sit in my empty room, I strange wave of nostalgia sweeps over me. It’s good to leave – it really feels good to have something new and potentially exciting to look forward to, and yet, it’s a sad moment because I’m leaving possibly the best thing that happened to me.

Res is completely completely empty, I’m the only person on my floor and jess (the other sub-warden) is to leave in about half an hour. Funny, the year began with an empty res – being the only one on the floor, and is ending the same, like a neatly tucked in bed-sheet. Saying good bye to everyone hasn’t been that easy, but there’s comfort in the fact that I’ll be back for grad.

Bapu has come from joburg yesterday (Thursday) and we’re scheduled to leave on Sunday (although that’s debatable at this point in time). The car’s already packed up – can you believe… I’m early for once in my life!!! I’m really hoping that we can meet ba and anjani bhen in ficksburg and go for some cherry picking, but we’ll have to play it by ear for now. then, once I’m in joburg, I need to start sorting out what I want to do with my life – ie the next few years. I’m totally clueless… still totally clueless!! So… I’m going to do a bit of major brainstorming, relaxing and decision making over this vac.

For now it’s adieu… I don’t know when I’ll be able to update (the internet connection at home isn’t all that hot!) but until next time…

Adieu…
