Lyrics and translation of Verskietende Sterre

So yeah, I found this song some time ago. Same artist as Koning van Harte, by the way.  And since it's really annoying trying to find a translation for it, I guess I'm making another translation post. Actually, the Afrikaans lyrics are out there if you do some digging, possibly English too, but if I type in a song name followed by 'lyrics' into Google, I want the lyrics in the first result, or at the very least the first page. So, I'm just doing both. Besides, it's some practice with writing/reading Afrikaans...

There's the video. I don't really know what to make of it. I'm not much of a fan of music videos, so don't think too much of my opinion on that.

Keep reading for the lyrics!

YASU (Yet Another Status Update)

Just so that if anyone's wondering...I'm still here. Sort of. Still bogged down with schoolwork, but I've gotten English done now too. But now I'm stuck with Physics and Math. And if it takes me two weeks to procrastinate and get done with English (I did half the year yesterday alone to finish it to have internet today) I'm sure that if I actually tried, and had pencils and paper readily available, I could get one of those done in a week or two, depending on how much it confuses me and how much of it actually makes sense to me and how much help I can get.

But for now, I don't see myself coming on here very often until that's all done (and when I'm done, I'll be very glad) On the other hand, I might not finish before the end of the month (totally plausible at this moment) and might end up going to public school and only have internet on weekends if my grades are good (which I doubt they will be with the amount of work they give you) So, I'm going to try and finish up before then...

There is a bright side to not having internet for long periods of time, though. I'm becoming less dependant on the internet for satisfaction (though I'm still sitting on my butt now that I have, so I'm still working on that) and it's also making me sick of some of the online games I've been playing because I have notifications piling up and I really don't want to sort through them because they're just going to pile up again when I don't have internet.

I think that that may be part of the reason why I'm not trying harder on my schoolwork. It is a good thing, really. Boring and annoying, but still actually good.

Last note: This is more of a status update than anything, and I'm sure that if there's anyone actually following this blog then you're probably sick of them by now, but I hope to have a more meaningful post up somewhere during the weekend. I have some ideas...

Another subject done!

Whee! Done with Bible! Tomorrow I'm tackling English (or Physics or Math depending if I can get some help from someone)

'nother update

Blegh, still busy with schoolwork. Technically I'm not allowed to have internet, but it seems that I can load all sites attached to Google (including Blogger and YouTube) and Wikipedia, so I'm exploiting that for now to write this.

Well, I could've had proper internet over the weekend if I had finished up Bible, but instead I procrastinated on it and played Minecraft instead and terraformed the island I started on (I've gotten pretty far, actually, using only stone tools)

So now I need to finish that up before the week is over (I'll work on that as soon as I'm done here and hopefully get Bible done tonight, otherwise tomorrow hopefully) so I can internet on the weekend. Then I'm stuck with Physics, Math, and English...English is next, since that really just requires me reading Hamlet and doing a few other things and will be the next quickest thing for me to do.

Also, since this seems to be a random, kind of pointless post that has nothing really important in it, I added highlights to my hair! Instead of being this plain dark brown color (with no natural highlights) I've got these lighter brown/blonde streaks a little randomly over my head. It actually looks kinda cool, if not somewhat freaky because I still need to get used to these little blond hairs coming in my eyes when it's loose instead of them being brown and all that.

Sooo...I can't think of anything else to say, so I guess I'll just stop here and continue with schoolwork.

School updates...

You know those schoolwork issues I wrote about however long ago? About me being far behind?

Yeah...internet is being grounded now until I get caught up. The only reason I'm on right now is because I got really motivated to do schoolwork because I am bored playing Solitaire on my computer (I've played nearly 6,000 games on this computer now...) and I did the half a year of schoolwork I needed to do for History/Economics today.

Now if only I could do the rest of my subjects that fast...Bible and English are the next easiest. I'm just not motivated to do either, but otherwise I can do them relatively fast. I still have work dating back from December/January from them, so I hope (but seriously doubt) that I can get at least one of those done by next weekend so I can internet then.

But Physics? And Pre-calculus? Bleh, they're probably going to take me a few weeks at this rate...or maybe I'll get lucky and actually figure out how to do it and get somewhere with it! But still, unless I'm really motivated by the lack of internet, I don't think that I'll have them done soon.

Either way, I'm planning on being done by August (or being within a month of being done) I have no intentions whatsoever of going back to public school to repeat my final year of school. Or just repeating the school year period.

Of course, I'll have to go to college eventually, so I guess I'm not in my final year, but since I have no idea what I actually want to do with my life I don't plan on going there soon. I know that it's going to be somethng to do with art (writing, singing, instrument of some sort, or drawing/digital art) but I have no idea further than that.

Still, it's better than my sister. She can't even tell you what she's good at...I at least can.
