Early Morning Lectures
Posted on October 5, 2010 in Misfits.
I am not a morning person, at all. So early morning lectures are just the worst for me. There are a few things that make them bearable; my lovely friend Kat (who also has to go through this early morning torture, the fact that it’s an awesome subject, good radio on the drive in, and coffee.
By the way, this post is made from my new iPhone 4, which I absolutely adore accept for the fact that I cannot bluetooth anything to another phone other than an iPhone. Fail.
It’s also almost my birthday and I just can’t wait :)
English – Our Language

As an English Major I find these rather amusing and somewhat true.

Many English Lecturers are bow tie wearing men.

New Year On It’s Way
Posted on December 30, 2008 in Misfits.
WOW! There’s a new year coming already.
Am I the only one that feels this year has simply flown by? There are so many things that I promised myself I would do and so many that I didn’t even get close to. So I have really been thinking about my new years resolutions for 2009. I’m really trying to make them reasonable and possible to keep. But before I get to my resolutions for next year I’d like to look back at the good in this year.
I’m so happy to say that my mom (after having breast cancer) is clean for her 3rd year now.
My cat Sushi is still alive. I love him very much and to be honest, he’s getting very old. I don’t want him to die.
Matt and I have been dating for 2 years now.
I had a great birthday this year (I was very spoilt) and spent it with great people. Normally I hate my birthdays.
I have had some wonderful and some not so wonderful holidays, but holidays none the less.

Had a great End Year Show.
Passed my second year of University.
After uploading all of those holiday pictures I want to go on holiday now and can’t remember what else was good this year, but honestly it was a good year, with great people and lots of fun. Lets hope next year will be even better?!
The Pros of Not Having DSTV
Posted on November 18, 2008 in Misfits.
I’m one of those poor people that doesn’t have DSTV. That’s rite, only SABC and eTV for me.
Despite really bad movies and always getting great tv programs months or even years later than everyone else, I have found some good things about not having DSTV.
- You have toilet breaks during movies (otherwise known as Ad breaks)
- If you forget the popcorn (no worries, soon there will be another Ad break)
- During the Ad break you can catch up on the exercise you didn’t have time for earlier on in the day.
- How I met Your Mother (Yes we are the first and only to see it, ha ha ha DSTV watchers – even though you get etv too)
- Lipstick Jungle (even though it’s finished, it was great while it lasted)
- Sex and The City (after sooooooo many years it was only SABC 3 that showed it and showed the repeats over and over again – I don’t really mind those kind of repeats though).
- Oprah (yes I watch Oprah, not lately though after they stopped showing it late at night).
- Terrible movies that I land up (often) having to watch anyway for University.
- SYTYCD (For those of you that aren’t dance crazy, So You Think You Can Dance). I know the American one is on DSTV, and those that have DSTV think they are so much cooler because they get to watch the American one (they also think they are way too cool to watch the South African one) but hello LOCAL IS LEKKER!!!
- Strictly Come Dancing ( I love watching famous-ish people make asses of themselves, some of them are really good though).
For all of you who don’t have DSTV either, you are not alone. Tell me what you love about SABC or eTV (if you have DSTV and love something on these channels you can still tell me-really)
Time Is Limited
Posted on November 11, 2008 in Misfits.
Well we got our Modern and Tap exam results back today and I’m not too pleased with what my students got. I know they could have done better and I think they know it too.
It’s almost time for the show…eek…it’s this weekend already. There is still soooo much to do. I don’t even know where to start.
I’m actually meant to be studying at the moment. Yeah sure. All I can do is think about the stupid show. It must stop now, I need to study.
My foot still isn’t better. For those of you who don’t know, I have tendinitis. I am being treated for it (with weekly injections into my foot) but the Doc said they won’t really do much if I keep dancing. At this point in the year I don’t have a choice but to keep dancing. JOY! I really don’t know what I did today in rehearsal but I have insane pains in my one shin (just happens to be the same leg as the tendinitis). I really just think my body is coming to the stage where it needs rest. SLEEP.
My blog posts seem to be rather scattered and few these days, some what like my brains feel. So excuse them please.
Watching Movies
Posted on November 9, 2008 in Misfits.
Over the next two weeks I will be watching a bunch of movies. I don’t really know if they are good movies (in fact some of them might be really bad movies, in order to prove a point). Why will I be doing this? Well I have exams coming up this week and next week and the movies I will be watching are actually for my exams.
Wow, what am I studying that I get to watch movies all day long? Lucky hey? Not really…some of the movies are not so great. The movies I have to watch this time seem to be alright though.
I have already found and rented three of them on the list. The others will be a little harder to get hold of, so if anyone has any ideas of where I can get them please let me know.
The movies I have already rented are; Sweeney Todd, In Love and War, and Secretary. The ones I still need to get my hands on are; Cry Freedom, Funny Games, The Getaway, Intimacy, The Piano Teacher, Choke, and Doomsday.
I would also really appreciate any feedback or comments on these movies (but only if you have watched them please) it could really help me in my exam.
