Coming to SA

The time is coming closer and I made a plan (kind of, it's not definite yet but something one can use for orientation and preparations - me for the packing, the safa's for the party preparations ;-) ): leaving FRA on the 9th, arriving in JNB on the 10th. staying in pretoria for 2-3 days and then driving down to Ape Town/Stellenbosch. I told the people at the university that I'll be there on the 14th (monday).
I haven't got a car yet but was assured that something will be waiting for me in PTA on my arrival. If anyone happens to need a ride from Gauteng to the Cape on that weekend be my guest. I'm not keen on doing the whole trip by myself!

So people in GP and the Cape PREPARE for me, I'm looking forward to meet you!

almost ferdig med alle eksamener for evig og alltid!!

So, the day of my last test has passed. It was a very unpleasant experience but still I went through (kinda had to though) and the result is really good. In the evening we went to the christmas market, it was flippen freezing, we had Glühwein and went to party afterwards. Yes, to party and yes, with me. Agh, it was a really cool evening with great people. Only, the morning after started with me swallowing two aspirins - 2 Glühwein and 1,5 beers, tough stuff! :-D
Now the only thing left for my degree is the thesis which I will start with in Stellenbosch at the 14th of Jan. Before I'll repeat one test to improve my mark on the 7th of Jan and then fly down to SA on the 8th-10th. All depending on if I'll have a car till then and when I get onto a flight.
Otherwise I spent the day after the exam with cleaning, doing all the admin that was waiting to be attended to, bought stuff I need for SA and also packing up my things. I'll much them to my grandmas place at the 24th but still stay in my room untill I leave to the land with the ridicoulus political farce show. Still I haven't realized how soon it is...too busy (quite a strange experience for me ;-) ).
Oh ya, the visa is through, my ticket is in my drawer...not much to stop me know. the bike decision is difficult though. would it be too much to take both? :-o
Well, merry christmas to everyone. Spend the days useful with your beloved and eat as much as you can!

what a waste of time

so I got my visa application back cause it was "incomplete". The conditions for visa applications seem to have changed (without any information anywhere) and you have to submit two letters from doctors that a) you are mentally sane and don't have any reoccuring deseaes and b) from a radiologist that there's no tubercolsis in you. what a bloody waste of time! I'll have to sit at the doc's office for 3-4 hours for that stuff now. I didn't need it for my visa last time...


moan moan moan

it'll only stop once my tests are taken! :-)

nobody knows
