second post of the day, just so the blogthings wouldn't get in the way of the real post. well, the exams so far haven't been too bad. in fact, today's lifted whole weight off my shoulders, making the day seem that much brighter. got home and crossed out my second exam on the house chart with great pomp and gusto, although only renu was at home to watch the momentous moment. we have a huge sheet of paper on our wall with nat's, renu's, carmen's and my name on it (ayman's was put in because we had some extra space at the bottom), with the respective exams and exam dates under each name. it's all good fun, and everyday someone comes home and crosses off something on the sheet. currently i'm in the lead, but there will be more crosses on the sheet before the day is out. the countdown towards the end of exams has well and truly begun!

i miss Boy. something seems missing without him around.

but back to life, which, at the moment revolves muchly around exams. after today's law gender, i walked out with faz and we went to have a celebratory sandwich in the square, as the ladies with promotional ribena in huge cans strapped to their backs stalked around looking for people to peddle the drinks to. following that we went to safeway and searched for items that facilitate personal hygiene and all that stuff, given that the exams have basically kept us within the confines of the house without access to such household items except those sold in sammy's which cost an arm and a leg. (which is illegal, by the way. selling your arm or your leg, i mean.) and i have to admit it - i am now the proud owner of the highest pair of brown suedette shoes with pink piping. and all for only a fiver! they were calling my name, much like how the bananas were calling faz's name, and so i had to get them. sorry floor, i know you have no more space, and sorry other shoes, i still love you as much as i already do, just because you have one more pair of siblings doesn't mean that i love you any less...

i have too many shoes. it is shocking. the day when i have to finally pack and move my stuff home, i will pay the high, high price (literally) for throwing caution to the wind and getting all those shoes. but hey, i reckon they're justified. after all, i just finished a third of my exams. now all i have to do is stick it through the rest of them.
