Sjoe! There was fun and games on the TV last week.<\/p>\n

Well, I know it was not really on the TV but that was as close as I came to it.<\/p>\n

All those people protesting about University fees going up so much that they would not be able to afford them. But it seemed to me that they behaved in a very calm and controlled way instead of burning and destroying things. That always makes me mad. What\u2019s the point?<\/p>\n

Hope it gets sorted out soon.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m just a little kid \u2013 but it makes sense to me that the Government should invest in their youth. Just because you don\u2019t have the money to study further does not mean that you should not be able to do it.<\/p>\n

It excludes people from reaching their full potential.<\/p>\n

Somebody might be really clever and be able to come up with an innovative idea or plan that helps save the country somehow, but instead they never get to even try. That would be really sad.<\/p>\n

I keep wondering why nobody has come up with a plan for solar-powered traffic lights. Or if they have \u2013 where ever are they hiding it? Especially in Gauteng where the traffic is busy and the sun shines brightly most days.<\/p>\n

Those suckers would just keep on working \u2013 never mind whether Eskom was alive or dead.<\/p>\n

Then we would not have traffic jams and we would not be late for school. It always feels like such a silly reason to be late for school\u2026 Sorry I\u2019m tardy Miss but the robots were not working! She always looks at me like I\u2019m fibbing when I\u2019m really not.<\/p>\n

But I was thinking\u2026 if we are all going to have an opportunity to study further one day and learn lots of lovely new and exciting things, then we should better pull up our socks and start working really hard to get good grades. Probably Universities and Technicon\u2019s will be full and so they are going to choose people with good grades first because it shows that they want to learn.<\/p>\n

No more chatting, I\u2019m off to do some revision now.<\/p>\n

Good luck to all the matrics who are about to start writing exams soon.<\/p>\n

Sibo<\/p>\n

Cool word of the week: gripe
\nMeaning: protest, grumble, moan
\nExample: The students were all having a serious gripe about the hike in university fees.<\/p>\n
