This is day 1 of taking myself, my ambitions and passions along with my studies seriously. Believing in each of my gifts, talents, skills and abilities for going into a space of exploring hidden potential, progressing into the type of success I want to see in this life..... and finally taking those goals and dreams seriously enough to commit to them regularly.
Didn't miss a single lecture today. I got to organize my time better and coordinate everything that matters to me and make time for everything that is important. There's a lot of damage control that needs to go into my DP for the rest of this semester. 2 tests down the line and I realize the academic term started off on a bad note altogether. I made time for everything in the second half of this year accept for what is most important! We so very easily take things for granted and often find ourselves getting too comfortable. I forget so often that every hour I waste here is my own. The thing about funding your own education is the cold reality that when you graduate you are going to have to pay every blinking cent of that loan. So I really can't be here playing around, socializing and making so many trips to joburg...
So I've decided to turn this blog of mine into a selfie exhibiton telling the story of my progression into each of my visions. Documentation centered around capturing myself building into the fabric of my independence, business ventures and writing. Moving with vision direction and purpose, Siya told me not to be afraid of taking major risks right now while I have the least to lose.
I don't know how tough it's going to be climbing up that ladder but I'm prepared to working my way up there.
My ambitions are as DarkSkinned as I am... potent, strong and concentrated!

Everything's smooth, just got back to res to chow quick before my 12:20 media lecture. Just decided right now to fill this project up with tons of selfie portraits as I go through the notions of my everyday.

My day on campus is almost over, the story of my life is like a film shot on a shoestring budget right now. Everything is done on a tight budget. I'll probably be eating crap for the next 2 years of my life working towards establishing myself in what I do. That is what the documentation of rise, build, grind and advance is supposed to be about. There are a lot of sacrifices that need to go into building something from scratch I guess. Separating my days into study, creating media artifacts and writing more material, cozy space to think about. Grounded, realistic and hard working is the new skin I'm in this week.... 40 ways of numbing yourself to get the job done, one which is creating an alternative world or character outside of yourself where you can go into a relentless form of work mode you wouldn't otherwise normally step into yourself, be a completely different person when it's time to get the job done.
Me and Sne before I left to chow. We had one long conversation today and am I still giggling over the crab dilemma but that is a post for another day all together.
Blogging time is up for today, it's back to work!!!
