Gratitude (University years: 1989 - 1993)

UCT

• The vibe and life-style
• The library
• Thesis at Old Mutual through Martha
• Getting my first computer
• Mum to do our typing
• Able to use some credits in final year

Willow Road

• So much better than that flat in Rondebosch
• Able to have 3 housemates: financial abundance
• Close to UCT
• Lovely housemates: Dain, Eleda, Andre, Oliver
• Didn't sleep with Allison

Choice of course

• Doing marketing, setting me up for the web and travel (which would lead to Wisdom Trove)
• I don't think I'd have had patience for zoology, plus depression of watching nature being destroyed
• Didn't continue with finance

Friends

• Tony in first year
• Julian, Ivor and Rory in my life
• Russell in final year

 

Ally

• Going camping with Julian and Ivor when I did
• Ally came into my life when I desperately needed someone to - conquered my appearance obsession
• Ally had recently broken up
• All the memories of our courtship (one of most special times of my life)
• My financial abundance, able to share that, go away to wonderful places
