Yogita Kunvar (BSS - Rhodes)
man, doesn't that look smashing!!! yup - the bodies... i have graduated... been thwacked on the head by rhodes university's very own vic-chancellor - dr saleem badat. and now (i'd like to hope) i'm ready to face the next challenge... post-grad!!
on the whole - grad was a fantastic affair. the uni and its relevent departments really do make a effort to make you feel special. the order of events for the weekend:
13 april (friday) - grad ceremony, evening snacks and supper at ma's house, out with me mates
14 april (saturday) - departmental party, garden party (for all parents, graduates, families, lecturers, friends... erm, just bout everyone!!) and grad ball!!!
15 april (sunday) - garden tea at emese's place (with yummy hungarian cake!!) and mandir (temple) in the evening.
over and above that i had two fab days to spend with me mates - bonding and all that.
and it's back to the city! before i left, i had been doing some temp work at a storage company in brakpan (hai sies!!) and am subsequently unemployed!! (eish!) i have an interview on wednesday for tutoring and hopefully the ithemba rape and trauma centre is willing to take on a volunteer. other than that - i've been painting to my heart's content and doing odds and sods! i'm really not complaining (at least - i've stopped now!!) and whatever is meant to happen will happen. i'm just really glad that i can take this time to chill and that there's no hectic pressure (like bills to pay or mouths to feed) to get a job.
other than that - yes, i miss rhodes terribly, and more than missing the place, i miss the relationships and lifestyle in gtown. but on we go and i'm happy to say that as much as i hate... no no... dislike joburg, i might as well enjoy it for what it is. so here's to good 'ol jozi - and the prospect of an exciting future!!
adieu...
