This time 8 years ago I was starting Rhodes University in South Africa! It was the most exciting and nerve wracking time! I remember standing on a roof of a Bed and Breakfast there where family friends were staying for the night after dropping me off and looking at Grahamstown and trying to imagine this place as being familiar and 'home' for the next four years! It all really began when I got dropped off at my residence, Canterbury house! I made my first friend of my group of 6 fabulous girls, who are still a close friends to this day and we explored the campus! The parties began and the traditions of serenading boys at 6am in PJ's, registering for subjects, parties, societies evenings, drinking, drinking and more drinking and meeting so many people. The bunch of first years in my res were all so cool (initially, some became a little strange after a few months haha). We were a team, we looked out for each other and we partied like no tomorrow! This year (2004) was possibly the best in my whole life and I can't believe it has been 8 years! Now I am back to studying and it is all about the studies...what happened haha???? I learned about who I am that year and throughout my time at Rhodes and I owe so much to that fabulous University! RHODES FOR LIFE!
