Back in Johannesburg

So I’ve been on a short break and I went to the windy city, Port Elizabeth, on Easter Saturday. I was hoping to cash in on the influx of people during the Easter Weekend, and when I arrived, the weather was kak. No one who’s ever been to Port Elizabeth knows it’s a small city by comparison to Johannesburg or Cape Town, and not much happens. The people are easy-going, and in most cases, you can get around pretty quickly as things are closer in distance. The social life and the nightlife have become unknown to me.

The only redeeming experience was spending a few hours on the campus of the Nelson Mandela University. As far as I could understand, this is the old University of Port Elizabeth campus. And boy oh boy did I realise once again that university campuses must be the best place to meet young energetic women. I had a grand tour from my friend Greig Timkoe from Peacemakers Conflict Management, who’s also a Ph.D student at the university. Greig is sitting on a gold mine of opportunities, and I can’t wait to start my Master’s later this year at the University of Johannesburg so I can have regular access to the campus. So, yes, I had a dry spell because I didn’t meet any new women that I’m going to date or have sex with, but there is a sign there that I can and should find more time to spend at university campuses in Gauteng. The women at these institutions tend to be intelligent, full of energy and goal goal-oriented and flexible because they are always up for a challenge. Women and men in general who do not continue their studies after high school lack a certain willpower, or rather, determination. And then you have Bill Gates, who dropped out of university. The whole idea for me is that it helps to get rid of people who would be disqualified on many other criteria when seeking a potential partner who wants to get more life and is willing to do something about it, and not expect handouts.
