Needless to say, it feels good to abandon the student life for awhile. Because I switched majors after my first degree I've been studying at Uni in some capacity for the past eight years straight.

Hopefully not in the too far distant future? :)<br /><br />I hope you guys are able to visit Joburg again soon... if you do, we need to make this blog friendship official!Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238434752028472905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8516807932681350120.post-36226103062704851592014-01-24T10:43:07.868+02:002014-01-24T10:43:07.868+02:00Wow!
