Was described by a friend today as being like a "sentient stress ball" because of my soothing presence. I quite like that ^_^

- Disclaimer on present and future absenteeism -

I extend my sincerest apologies to the masses of diligent followers who will no doubt be devastated at the lack of activity on my blog of late ;P hehe. It is exam time and I have possibly the worst exam timetable ever drawn up in the history of university exams EVAR, so to say that I am a tad stressed and much more than a tad short on time would be a grave understatement.

As of the 15th of June however I will be done, but will be hanging around this little town for quite a while before I make the delightful (pleeeeease recognise the sarcasm) 13 hour bus trip home. During this time I will be doing nothing but going to the gym (to work off all this exam snacking and winter comfort eating), reading (for pleasure - at last!), celebrating every last exam of each of my friends the only way us rhodents know how (with a great night out), studying for my learners licence (which I'm re-writing 'cause my last one expired, sadly) aaaaannd getting in lots of blog time!! ^_^ I cannot explain how excited I am at this prospect.

Things that give me a little bit of hope for now - the prospect of dinner at my lovely friend's Claire and Gabi's digs tomorrow night which will accompany a politics study sesh. Real food is always an absolute dream when it means a break from dining hall food. XD I do not know what is on the menu as of yet but I am most certainly getting a garlic bread to go with it because I have had an insane craving for it for the last few days which MUST be satisfied...

Also, making lots of exciting plans for the holidays with the amazing Shark which copious amounts of series and movie watching as well as tons of cooking and baking - ohmygoodnessgracious too amped!! ^_^ Recipes to be tried out already include as many of the cupcakes in this delectable selection as possible: http://mingmakescupcakes.yolasite.com/.

Oh and how can I forget - the making of 21st plans which although accompanied by much anxiety (not the biggest fan of my own birthdays, especially when they involve my planning of my own parties) is actually getting me pretty excited. more to come on this topic soon!!!

Ok, I really should get back to studying... Its 2:30am. Wouldn't you say that that's totally the perfect time to review our country's termination of pregnancy laws? Totes, right? :P

Much love and peace to the universe.
And any awesome person who actually happens to be reading this ;P

++ 'Cause we've all felt like this at some point in our lives ++

Jenny Owen Youngs - F**k Was I


Love grows in me like a tumor,
Parasites bent on devouring its host.
I'm developing my sense of humor,
Till I can laugh at my heart between your teeth,
Till I can laugh at my face beneath your feet.

Skillet on the stove is such a temptation,
Maybe I'll be the lucky one that doesn't get burned.
What the f**k was I thinking?

--> Essay writing at 1am <--


So as the above suggests it is 1 in the morning (1:12 to be exact :P) and I am working on a politics essay on migration in southern Africa (so fun! . . . not :/). Anyway, I just felt like mentioning that I am pretty darn chuffed with my internet growth for the day ^_^ (Jeans & Sharlz will understand :P hehe)

That is all for now. I will not be sleeping tonight. Wish me luck, oh cosmic forces out there!

Bisous! xx
