Hey there! I wanted to post about the Holidays because it’s been pretty hectic and I wanted to keep posting blog posts regularly despite the encroaching horizon of school. Ugh, I wish winter break lasted the whole year long. I would just read books and listen to T. Swift for the rest of my life. Now that’s the life!
Anyway, Christmas was lovely. My sister was here for about a week and we celebrated relatively quietly in Kommetjie. I got a bunch of T. Swift merch and omg guys I got all of the albums IN VINYL (!!!) I love passing by them in my room, even though I can’t play them, I still want to take them out and look at the little forward and all the lyrics. They’re so pretty, and I got Taylor’s Version for Red and Fearless! I love them!!
I also got some other stuff, and we spent a really relaxed Xmas day napping and swimming. For New Year’s we visited family friends renting a place in Arniston, a small town a few hours from the city. Cleo had already gone up there, so we all spent a lovely New Year’s celebration together, watching the fireworks at midnight, and sleeping in the next day. I mostly read, catching up on my favorite pastime and finishing ACOMAF in time for my review (check it out now). On Jan 2, we drove back to Cape Town, stopping in Hermanus to see some other family friends for the day before arriving in the evening. We’re staying on the boat now, doing boat jobs (my dad and anyone he can lure into his traps), cleaning and provisioning (my mom), reading (my sister and I wish myself), and catching up on school (yours truly and miserably).
Soon, we’ll be heading out of Cape Town with Dafne for good, and although everything until then will be hectic and stressful, I still can’t wait and I’m so excited!
