Dadaisms

So here it is, my new blog..again. I’m hoping that having my name as an address is going to help me write more! We’ll see if it works out.

Since my last post I have graduated Summa Cum Laude (after much nail-biting and pleading emails to the Dean about the requirements…curse “Writing for the Media”) and been awarded the Mandela Rhodes Scholarship. I’m really excited about it all - the 24 scholars for 2008 are all meeting for the first time on Friday. We have a 5 day conference in Stellenbosch. I haven’t got the itinerary yet, so I’m not entirely sure what sort of initiation rituals there may be. I have a mental image from “The de Villier’s Code” involving Rhodes’ waxen penis. Shudder.

Tomorrow I’m heading off to Durban Campus to chat to the Media lecturer there. I don’t particularly want to leave PMB, as the department there is brilliant. However, I’m really enthusiastic about possibly studying Gender Studies, Cultural Studies and Website design - a combination that sadly isn’t offered in PMB.

On a non-study related note, my best friend Rob is coming back to SA after having been living in England for 2 years!
