I’ve been very busy, with both packing and social calls before I go. Mostly, I’ve been occupied with a certain guy who has charmed me. I don’t know where it will go, but for now I’m happy the way the relationship is. Of course, my timing sucks because I’m leaving for University tomorrow, leaving him far behind. But we’re both young and maybe it’s fine for my first ‘relationship’ to be only part time. To be honest, I’m not sure how my feelings are. Since I’m a girl, my emotions are involved, but we aren’t going to just take it slow and see. Like he told me today, we have all the time in the world.

Apart from that side of my life, things are pretty normal. The family came around last night and made me very sad about leaving them. They even got me a chocolate brownie with a candle in to say goodbye. You know people love you when they bring you chocolate.

The packing is going averagely well. All of the stuff is packed- the cutlery, toiletries, stationary etc. But I still have to finish packing my clothes, as well as all of my gadgets and their wires. With any luck, we’ll leave early in the morning, drive all day then sleep over in Knysna. Then we drive some more on Saturday, and arrive at Rhodes University in good time for registration.  I’m very nervous and sad about leaving now, though I’ve been fine all summer.

Because I’m taking my PC (good old James Bond) up to Uni with me, the family had to get a new house PC. They’ve picked this shiny new one, who’s currently nameless, which of course I was expected to set up. Everything’s running fine so far, though I still reckon we need more RAM to run Vista properly. It also freaked out when I tried to install the printer, and sucked up the last of our bandwidth allocation when it updated. Sigh. The joys of Windows.
