Thought

I got an email from my sister the other day. It was an email that she had recieved from a lady who works at Barclays informing us (the family) that they had finished working on fixing up a run down ward at a hospital near the area my late Dad was raised. Barclays (my dad was on the Chairman of Barclays Zimbabwe) are giving my mum and the Zamchiya family an award and have also dedicated a ward ,that they fixed up in Chipinge in honour of my Dad's continous work in helping the people in the area with his time and donations. The ward is called The David Zamchiya Ward.

It makes me pretty damn proud that after four years after his death, one man's work, my dads work, is still being recognised for his input into the area and other areas. It makes me want to strive to be the extraodinary person he was. It then makes me think what do i want to be rememebered for when i die and what do i want to accomplish with my life?

weekend

This weekend i think, actually i know i had the most fun weekend in a long time! (somehow that sentence doesn't quite sound like correct english..........oh well, back to the funnest weekend ever)

Friday i had my first sleepover of the new semester. Melody and Ruth came over. We went to the movies and watched The Gaurdian which we all really enjoyed, even though it was kinda predicatable. We now adpoted the names Senior Commander Mermaid (Mel), Senior Commander Duckie (Ruth) and Senior Commander Marlin (Me!) Our salute involves saying your S.C followed by your name and 5678! It was awesome. Notice how all our names have something to do with water. That's because the movie was about coast guards you see. So after that we came back home and orders Dominos. Let me just remind you that i live bout 2 minutes from Domino's. when i answered the door, the delivery man had a sort of 'i can't believe you just ordered this pizza and did not walk to collect it...lazy' look! Anyway pizza was yummy. I nearly managed to con Ruth into thinking that i had lions roaming around free back in zim and that i lived in a mud hut. I was so nearly there till Mel made me laugh!! It was a very funny moment! We then had a four hour Lost season 3 marathon!! Ruth is no longer a Lost virgin!! Mel filled her in with every detail!! Was pretty amazing how much detail that girl knows. I usually just watch an episode then forget!! Anyway after that we all packed into the lounge to sleep, which we didnt and ended up chatting till quarter to 4!! Was a really good night/day. Here's a funny pic. Its the best of the lot!!! I kept cutting my head out!

Then sat i got to see Paul and Laura who were over from Bristol! Got to watch X factor at alices house, then we went to waitrose to get some grub and ended up watched Anchorman. (Not a Will Farrell Fan...not at all)

So that sums up my really enjoyable weekend!.......Here's hoping for loads more fun times!!

I'm going to name this week adventure week! Why you might ask, well coz i can and also that my housemates and i are going to have a fun filled week. We plan to explore. We decided that seeing as it's our last year at uni we are going to do as much as we can and we are starting with BOWLING!! OH YEAH!! how fun.

Countdown

So i sit here SUPPOSED to be working on my current project. It's 00:05 (that's 5 past 12 for all of you who don't understand army time) I was happily doing my work (yeah right) then i got an email saying i had a coment on my blog so got distracted!! (Thanks for the distraction Nae :-) So i have decided to post. It's titled countdown. Why countdown i hear you ask.......well my furry friends, it exactly 70 days till Christmas!! Can you believe it?! That's like 10 weeks or 100 800 minutes or 6 048 000 seconds, or 6 048 000 000 milliseconds. Okay when you put it in milliseconds it seems like a lifetime away. But ya its crazy, CRAZY i tell you, the shops have their Christmas stuff up and Christmas specials up already and it isn't even November!!

So keep posted i shall be doing a countdown every so often so if you wanna know how long till Christmas check here!!! :-)

The return of the "Mudz"

So i guess the honeymoon period is over, in terms of my enthusiasm with my blog. That would probably be the best explanation as to why i haven't posted anything!! I do find myself in a bit of predicament really. Being a graphic designer, i find my blog design rather boring and un-engaging (i know it's not a word) okay not engaging but i will put some work in and get it sorted!! Scoutess honour! I will also update my photies to my flickr account for you to have a gander! As i sit writing this i have to chuckle though because , i am actually talking to myself then i post my post in hope that somebody reads my posts. Anyway i post on!!

What has been happening? Well i have been to uni. We have a new brief for a clothes company called Howies. The brief asks us to do t-shirt illustrations with the the theme of Hope. Third year is all good. It is nice to be at the top of the graphic design department in terms of year! But then again it is rather daunting at the prospect of having to going out into the BIG-BAD-WORLD, to actually find somewhere to live, get a job and provide for myself. I know that it is bout 9 months away but it is still scarey and on my mind. I don't have a dissertation title either!! I know iw ant to do something to do with packaging but i need to narrow it down and think of something intresting that i can argue about......any ideas?!

I am starting a business called GRENADE! Along with two of my friends on my course and they also happen to be my housemates. I am trying to get my head around all the mumbo jumbo that goes with registering a company, gettting web space, business cards, website etc. IT'S ALL GO!!! Launch date end of October, stay tuned!

otherwise i think i'll leave you with this image of a t shirt that made me chuckle

Still alive

So you are probably reading this thinking that I arrived (that we all know from my last post), and have been sitting in my room doing nothing for the past two weeks! That's close to the truth, if you throw in a couple of hours here and there of uni time. But yes I HAVE been breathing and living even though I haven't posted anything but that is soon to change, actually it already has with this post. More to come after I finish watch the American version on the Apprentice.
