Gnnnnnnnnnnnnarrrrrrrrr. (just needed to get that out).
I probably am being unreasonable, but anyway, this is really getting up my nose.
So, I have a cousin. She's 18, so is kind of dim at the moment (in the annoying teenager way), but otherwise incrediby intelligent. She got the highest marks in her school (very academic and pushy) for her final exams and is in her first year of university. Now, she had/has a boyfriend who, from my encounters on FB (lame, I know) and via family comments (cousin etc. is in a different country), comes across as a complete and utter spoilt brat/prat. For e.g., when they started going out my aunt was on and on about how this genius boyfriend of hers was either going to become a movie star (he's not good looking at all. He closest resembles Camilla Parker-Bowles in the celebrity stakes) or a lawyer. Whatever. He obviously thinks highly of himself. He then broke up with my good looking and highly intelligent cousin (I don't know if he's seeing anyone else), but they are still friends and he hangs around all the time.
So, he and my cousin then headed off to university together in Cape Town, of all places. Possibly one of the best cities in the world. His parents bought and furnished an apartment for him so the poor little dear didn't have to stay in accomodation with other people. After a week he gave up, said it was too hard and moved back home. He's now trying to convince my cousin to drop out of university (via FB, and presumably other means). Gnnnnnnaaarrrrrrrrr. I hope she's not so much of a dimwit that she actually listens to him, but this has just got me so wound up. Maybe I should just fly out there to punch him in the face, and then have a vacation. Actually, I might do that.
