I like to think of myself as an acquired taste. Like olives or sushi... one of those things you either love or hate and often it takes some time for you to realise you like it at all. I have considerable trouble bonding with people when there is an entirely new crowd or I feel intimidated. Strangely this does not happen if I already know somebody in the group. This is why I love Johannesburg and would never leave. I have a great group of close friends and a large circle of not so close friends, in fact its been joked I know the entire Northern Suburbs of Johannesburg. This of course means I am able to throw legendary house parties and do so often!
The second week at the cadet school has been great with regards to work content but has been tough for reasons outlined above. The cadet school poses a challenge to me because its far away from my comfort zone and every person here is a stranger. I know I can be prickly and difficult if you don't know me because I don't have a brain mouth filter and I always say the wrong thing. People who know me understand this and know that I generally mean well. While I struggle to say what I mean, I never mean to offend or hurt anybody. I just hope the cadet school has more sushi and olive lovers than haters...
