Tzzzz....zzzzzz.zzzzzz

I feel that i should blog about my brand new tattoo because to me it is a big step towards maturing, letting go, remembering whats important and being my own person!

So while the 'ink is still drying' I want to take the time to think about what this tattoo means to me. About 5 years ago, my very good friend Natalie died is a bike accident on her way home. This event changed my life and i miss my beautiful friend everyday! It was the first time I had ever felt loss, and it tore me apart inside. Then not even a year later, my other childhood friend Joshua died in a car accident. I still remember holding him after Natalie's death and now he is gone. They were both shining lights in our group of friends, everyone loved and cherished them. So now, four years down the line, i feel like i should let go of the hurt and just remember my friends for the beautiful life they led, remember how they changed my life, held me up and made me smile.

Tattoos hurt like hell, but now i can look down at the two beautiful cherry blossoms, one for Nats, one for Josh. A cherry blossom symbolizes the shortness and beauty of life. They bring a delicate beauty to the face of the world for only a few days, just like my friends. They were here for only a short while, but they changed everyone they knew and brought a light to this world that now lives in the hearts of the people that were privileged enough to call them friends.

11 weeks and counting

As I am nearing the end of November, i can't help but make a mental countdown until January 31st 2011.

In the meantime though, I had best start looking in to finance and building up my 'college' wardrobe... (any excuse to shop)

I can literally picture myself next year, walking around campus, studying beautiful literature and poetry, and as far as i'm concerned, 2011 can't come soon enough!!!

R500 Later and im in!!! :)

Yesterday i went to FNB to deposit the R500 acceptance fee and today my indemnity form and acceptance letter will be in the post on the way to the admissions officer! :) now all thats left to do is find out about finance and then register next year :) xoxo

You've got Mail!

Yesterday i received that beautiful large white envelope with the UKZN emblem in the corner. I open it relatively calmly and read: Congratulations..."

Yes i got in!!! I have been accepted in to the Bachelor of Arts class for 2011! :) I absolutely cannot wait to start next year :) Now all thats left to do is accept
xoxo

I'm waiting, I'm waiting

I am still waiting for that all important acceptance letter from UKZN Howard College. I still only have a Firm Offer. I have applied for a BA General Studies... and that was all i applied for so if I don't get in for that then one gap year might become two... but I'm staying positive. Applications only close at the end of the month anyway...? *holding thumbs* and checking my status everyday.
