Once again, it has been ages since I’ve last blogged
about anything. And not for lack of content either. I’ve been quite busy.
Shortly after my last post, my family and I went away on
holiday. Epic as it was, that week should have had an entire blog dedicated to
it, but alas. It does not.
Also, in my previous blog, I mentioned that I was
anxious for second year to begin. I take that back. Kind of. There is just so
much work to be done! By the time the first years started, not only had we been
back for 3 weeks, but had already written our pre-clinical test.
But this is about Vensters, the single most
looked-forward-to event of first year orientation. They put on street shows all
over main campus and, for just R15, one gets access to every single one. It was
an incredible night, one that brought back a multitude of memories from my own
time performing at Vensters. My friends and I traipsed around the campus,
singing and dancing like the unstable characters we are. I saw my cousin
Ghaalib briefly, got bulldozed by Laylah [Read her blogs: www.theethrealdeal.com ], and, to my
absolute wonderment, ran into an old friend. Suffice it to say I did not expect
to see him there, but it was nonetheless fantastic seeing Micky again.
So much went down that night. More than once, we ended
up lying in the road, just staring up at the stars, unable to move much. We laughed
and laughed at jokes that weren’t even funny. Mohammed and I had an argument [all
in good humour], things were said a little too loudly, and Taufeeq and Adam got
the wrong idea. We made a point of not explaining it. Have a little fun, they
say. J Also, a very happy 20th birthday
to Khalid Mohamed ‘Poppie’ ‘Pops’ ‘Popsicle’ ‘you-have-too-many-nicknames-to-remember’
Pohplonker.
Although I only got home at 2am, and got very little
sleep before I had to be up and head off to take care of some business, I thoroughly
enjoyed myself. So thank you, to everyone who made Friday night so absolutely
epic, whether you were mentioned by name or not. Also, to the rest of the crew,
who could unfortunately not make it, we really missed you.
Here’s to a crazy year ahead, and many more awesome
nights like this! =) <3
