It feels like yesterday

It feels like yesterday.
Yeah, it’s almost the end of the year of 2013 and this was/ is my third year at the University of Johannesburg.

Gosh where do I begin?
Honestly, it feels like yesterday when I went to register, stood in the long queue, got tired and fed up, but nonetheless I knew I had to register. The sun was scorching, I was hungry and tired….i’ll never forget that queue….January 2011.

You remember the etags?
Haha…. I failed those classes, probably three times before I went to the next one, I felt like giving up, I had no faith and hope in me. But now guess what? I’m an expert when it comes to computers :)

It feels like yesterday, when I was running around, lost, looking for cles 101. I was late, and I couldn’t find that class, and I gave up looking.
It seemed like I kept on bumping onto first years, who were also looking for a certain class. Tried asking around….but asked the wrong people….who were just lost….like me.

It feels like yesterday, when I had to start from scratch making new friends, gosh….the first week was horrible, I remember the first few people I made friends with, can’t remember their names though, or maybe I just didn’t care to ask, we had nothing in common, absolutely nothing, and I had to ditch them.

The second week I made friends with “Shadow”, people thought we were sisters, we looked alike, were both a bit tall and skinny, and we were both smart :). She had to quit school after the end of the first semester because of lack of funds. But I must say, I remember the laughs we shared together, the talks and the experience. You were one of the best shadow :). Miss you girl.

Second semester I was left all alone, I didn’t feel like I needed friends as such, but nonetheless I made friends with Linda and Nondumiso.
Lol I miss Linda, she was a Jesus freak that one, forced us to attend SDASM with her every Wednesdays.
Then life happened….and she had to quit….

It feels like yesterday, when I had a bunch of assignments to complete, not knowing where to begin. Had to ask for help from my dad, who helped me with assignments and tutorial activities. Thanks dad :) for lending a helpful hand.

And next year, 2014 will be my last year at UJ hopefully :) I truly cannot wait for my graduation day. I know I will look back and smile, knowing that I survived high school.
I survived first year of varsity,
I survived varsity all in all and I made it.

I truly cannot wait to wear that black and green gown, to obtain that certificate and make my parents and myself proud.
