The full digs and GPS love

I’ve just realised I’m moving in with 5 girls this year in digs. Okay, I knew this but have not really thought about the consequences of 6 girls living in one area with 2 bathrooms and excessive noisy corridor passages. Hmmm…should be interesting to witness. So far we get along but there will surely be some drama in the house.

Anyway, I can’t wait to get back to Grahamstown. I miss the whole vibe and holidays have been too much. Don’t get me wrong, it’s been great to spend 2 months doing nothing and seeing my family and friends back in Pretoria but I seriously need to party it up in my last year at Rhodes.

For now, I’ll embrace my last few weeks in the city.
I’ll probably miss it soon enough.

My friend from Zambia sent me an email this morning. I was busy driving on the N1 behind excessive fog and taxis so I activated my DriveSafely application on my Blackberry. The app automatically reads one’s emails, texts or BBM’s so that you don’t have to risk the rear ending Winnie Mandela’s fancy car in the fast lane. The DriveSafely lady (same monotone voice as the Garmin lady) reads out my friend’s email loudly.

Lady: MMMMMEEEEEEE EEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEE (Rave music intro) SSSSSSSSS UUUUUUUUUU

Note: My friend writes ‘I miss you’ as ‘meeeeessss uuuuu’ to emphasise his endearing missing of my company

I told him later how much this made me laugh and we got into the unlikely discussion of having a GPS person in bed with you.
Pros: You can select any language. Be it a French, German or Yank woman
Con’s: Recalculating…..When possible, stop! In 2 minutes, turn right.

Wonder how this will pan out if a man refuses to take directions.
