Doors of (My) Perception

Hmmm

I’m in Cape Town now, Table View to be specific, which is aeons away from the UCT campus but it is only temporary… I never really took the time to think about how hard it would be for me to be this far from home! I missed Orientation because I was a late acceptance and I don’t live in Res so I have met NO ONE. I know some people in Cape Town but they are all either in different schools than me or in the Engineering and Business Faculties. That basically means that I have been walking around ALONE for the greater part of my three days here. That would be fine (I like being alone) if I had any idea where I am going! I DESPISE being lost and not knowing where I need to be. I feel like I might go just lose my mind if I have to turn around after walking in the wrong direction for 10 minutes or awkwardly walk up to a stranger and ask where I’m supposed to be going and what I’m supposed to be doing one more time. The friend I’m getting a flat with is coming tomorrow, and even though he is going to AFDA (a film school), I’m hoping I’ll feel a little less out of place once he gets here. What makes this all worse is that I’m staying at a family friend’s house and they spend every waking moment trying to make me eat something which is making me crazy because I get awkward and I HATE being awkward =/

In the meanwhile, I’ll be watching films by Wong Kar Wai… “Days of Being Wild” is beautiful…

I’m moving…

The moment I’ve been waiting for: I’m GETTING OUT OF THE NEST! It’s university time and I’m moving from Johannesburg to Cape Town to study Literature and Media at the University of Cape Town. After feeling like a caged animal for the last year, I’m being set free! Also, I’m genuinely excited to study. Finally I get to go to classes that I care about instead of sitting in Economics classes thinking “WTF =/??” I can sit in modern literature classes going “WTF =D??”

AHHHH EXCITEMENT
