My belly is aching terribly. I can hardly even move. These are the side effects of over-eating. Our res has just had a garden party. The food was delicious, the weather superb and the ladies were gorgeous and everyone was in a great mood. But this event made me wonder if maybe the social events are not too much in our residence. Just a fortnight ago we had what was termed, “the Winch fest”. As usual it was great fun. It was a wonderful braai where everyone was helping themselves to huge hunks of meat. I was full before I ate anything because of the sheer quantity of the food. This time there were no females around, unless, like me you brought a guest. It helped that my companion was not that bad looking. On Wednesday, there is the leavers dinner, in honour of those who won’t be in res next year. Not because they are going to digs but because they are graduating. I can bet that it will be a dinner like no other. But I am a little bit worried though. It seems these social events are becoming as bit too much. After all we re here to study. Asocial events now and then are fun, but week kin and week out? Somebody tell me there is a problem there. I don’t know. Maybe it’s good to constantly unwind amidst the studies. It could be a kind of therapy.
