It was difficult at first deciding what to do for my final tutorial immersion, and here it goes. In order to understand how intensely frustrating and difficult this task has been for me, some background needs to be shared. During the course of this year, and most probably most of my teenage life, I have never stayed in doing work on a Friday night, they are always a funfest, intense and always spent with friends. I decided to break out of this cycle, and for one Friday night – spend it in my room doing work, I have so far started studying, and have finished all my assignments that were overdue. I knew that these nights could be productive, but it was a distant dream if not a horror movie to have spent the night here whilst others enjoy the ‘clearance sale’, Halloween parties and multiple birthday parties. I am however satisfied, and in fact ecstatic about having spent the night in, having heard stories of people ‘chundering’, losing cellphones, fights, and people nearly falling down stairs and breaking necks – the streets of Grahamstown could be compared to Babylon tonight, and that is definitely something that can do without my participation through presence. This has been a day in hell and heaven for quite a few people, I’m happy to have spent it focusing on academics, hopefully this path will continue.
