Tails’ Blography

To apply for a spot in Unisa, I need to provide a matric certificate, preferably with exemption. As I think I’ve mentioned before, I didnt get an exemption but I’ll apply for a Mature Exemption (‘cos at the age of 26 I’m “mature” lol). The problem comes in that I dont actually have my physical certificate.

When I matriculated, I still had one or two textbooks that I never returned (due to laziness I’m ashamed to admit), so they withheld the certificate. I was also told at various points that without an exemption I wouldnt get into university so I didnt think I’d need my matric certifcate any time soon. Well, now is when I need it.

So I went through the whole schlep of getting an affidevit from the police as to why I no longer have my certificate, a certified copy of my ID book, and of couse the application form as per this website.

After a day from hell on Monday, which I wont even go into here, I managed to get my certified copy of my ID, my affidevit, and I printed and completed the required form. Then I dashed over to the Dept of Education (after struggling to find them for almost 30min!!), only to find they closed fairly shortly before my arrival. Sigh!

So today I went back, they were open, I paid my R35 and have officially applied for a copy of my matric certificate. I’m told it’ll take around 2 months to get to me (another sigh!). This will mean I might miss the applications for Unisa 2010 as they close on Oct 16 (or so I was told in an email, but the website says Oct 31). I do believe they have late admissions, so hopefully I can try that way if need be. Hopefully.

But, I’m getting somewhere…and that’s something!

Yes. What an uninspiring title. My apologies haha.

Yeeeeeah….queries like ‘the oc lan’, ‘card making’, ‘ratanooga’, and ‘tails’ I can understand….but gynecologist in springs???? Really??!? Rain meter homemade?? 1001 hotties of a day?? How random!

An explanation of the columns:
• #: The ranking of the search query.
• %: The percentage of the top 100 queries represented by each query. For example, if the top 100 queries represent 1,000 user searches, and those users searched for cheeseburger recipe 270 times, that query would represent 27% of the total number of searches for the top 100 queries.
• Query: The search terms used.
• Position: The highest position any page from your site ranked for that query, averaged over the last week. Since our index is dynamic, this may not be the same as the current position of your site for this query.

New poll up, pet’s birthdays!

Orlith’s birthday was the 9th of March this year, and she turned one. I never got around to shooting a birthday shoot for her, so finally today I managed to break out the hats, bake some bran muffins, and of course, start taking photos.

RATANOOGA has a yearly calendar, so these were my 3 choices for submission. I hope one of them gets in!

Happy (belated) birthday, Orly!

Orlith

Wirenth

Ramoth

Some bloopers while they ran rampant on the set, demanding extra pay, more food, and bottled mineral water!

Next…Ramoth & Wirenth’s 1st birthday on 9th of September…stay tuned!

Just a shout out to let you know the poll is working again (thanks to Anti who hosts my blog and helps when it breaks haha)! So please cast your vote on your education
