[02:48, 13/03/2024] Thabang: The potchefstroom heat makes the cold showers more pleasant,the cold water rushes over my head jolting my senses ,for an instance I am transported to a different world ,where my mind isn't cluttered as my room after a drunken night out ,for an instance the cold water makes the  distance from how seem less daunting,this brief moment is a ritual that prepares me to weave across campus ,as i stand over my bathroom window i realise fhat i am running out of time and i quickly rush to get out of the house asap,on my way out i grab an apple ,the apple is as green ad the rolling hills in my mother's village in Limpopo,my housemates still sleepy moves very slowly across the room to grab cornflakes ,I see this from the peripheries of my view as i call a e-hailing cab , surprisingly the driver looks a lot like my dad as he advices me to focus on my school work, if only he knew the burden of work and health that weigh heavily on my mind like a stone,the brutalist architecture of the school campus makes it very imposing
[02:58, 13/03/2024] Thabang: The imposing nature of the campus and it's brutalist architecture is made bearable by my small tribe of friends ,mainly rea and thato ,we weave through the bustling campus buildings ,nervous to our core and as inexperienced about the world as much as baby deer but solidarity presents a tough shell for to the world around us ,our lecturer is quick to begin classes youd swear the man was meant to work a train station in another life the way he keeps time ,he breezes through class randomly pointing at pwople for answers ,i try to be less conspicious as i avoid his gaze but not my friens as i glance over at thrm ,they seem to be inviting his gaze fully,I am dazef off in my own world as i contemplate my other assignments ,my thoughts are disturbed by the rumbling of chairs and shoes signalling the end of the class ,we gather agaim amd weave through campus still nervous and inexperienced
