• Pot plants on my window sill...

  Will be writing Math paper 2 tomorrow. Analytical Geometry.
  I'm still slightly woozy from the last math exam.
  I was very happy while writing and as soon as I came out doubts started to assail me as people started discussing the paper. I don't like discussing the paper afterward. It's done and over, I can't go back and change an answer even if you have now proven to me that my initial answer was wrong.
  
  Oh well. I like Maths.
  
  I have made contact with an art therapist in George. So excited! Rah!
  Margot has to be in Cape Town sometime in late June, so we'll be making a trip westward. Mum said we could take a sho't left up to George so I could actually go see this woman and talk to her abit about what creative counselling entails.
  
  In other news, I've started drawing. This after I truly realized that the only way I'll be able to do any kind of course in Art would be to actually be in possession of a portfolio. Which means time. Which also means that I cannot immediately go study. Which is fine.
  
  I'm not exactly sure about what I'll be doing next year. One thing that is definitely on the agenda is building up aforesaid portfolio.
  
  I'm also very certain about finally plotting a home garden.
  We have a very pleasant space next to our house. It's unfenced at the moment, but we're looking into that. The advantages of this will be that i get to keep Hedda - the sealiondog - out of the ground.
  I was planting Agapanthus in the backyard last week and she's made a point of lying on each one of the four plants during the course of the week. What a bitch.
  Another obstacle I'm encountering in that area is my own desire for aesthetic appeal. I camped at a place up in Limpopo one summer and they had the most amazing food garden. The garden was laid out in a mandala. Beautiful, really.
  The reason why this is a problem, is that i have a much more...longitudinal space...as opposed to that which is circular. Okay, it's a long narrow strip of land. So i'm pretty sure, if anything, i'll only be spatially allowed a small circle...or a few small circles.
  Need to get back on the drawing board for that one.
  Oh! Borage has seeded! I was wondering if those were weeds sprouting at the base of the borage plants, but i left them there just in case...they're beautiful. Now i just need to get them growing...

  Have planted five garlic cloves which started sprouting. They are now tall sprigs in a pot on my kitchen window sill. They are beautiful. At first I was worried that they might not grow, but new growth started breaking through the old sprouts sommer very soon.
