hmmm I dont really know what to post about.... No bad news, but no good news really
Exams are underway( congrats to anyone who just finished the semester, one more to go!)...just trying to plan my winter and spring break, and once again, I've changed everything around!! ughhh soo fustrating!! so now I'm going to London for winter break and Naija in the summer and I'll stay for a month or so ( summer school :-/ ) the rest of my summer will consist of classes and work...anyone know what to pack to naija if im going around june-ish? I was talking to a family friend of mine and she told me that when I go to naija, I will appreciate the US more because of the transportation and I will appreciate naija more because of the culture...i didnt really know what to make of that statement so i didnt say anything...we were also discussing how naija kids born here never really get the opportunity to go to Nigeria....anyway
for spring break I might just go to somewhere cold or I might just go do some work for HFH...dunno yet...everything is going pretty good for the most part, except me feeling like moving out of the country...lol...I always feel like that though so what else is new?!
Not really feeling the whole xmas spirit, I really wish I was spending xmas with a whole bunch of my family members ( most are all in Naija or UK,me sef ive lost track) Christmas in Naija would be out of this world; I can picture it now; food cookin, 1st cousins, distant cousins,aunties,uncles...the television on, everyone talking/discussing, and at the end of the night everyone would be all over the place, some sleeping on the couch, the floor or which ever spot they can find!! But now it seems like no one cares about stuff like that...they are off with their families doing their own thing... now I know what ppl mean when they say to enjoy the little time you have with family until you "grow up" (move out,get married and all that)hmm such is life...
I'm going to a naija xmas parry today ...hmm im sure all the parents will be saying something like this to my mother " i have a son oh" or " please oh, i want my son to stay connected to our culture, i will introduce him to ya daughtah"... its really funny sha... i get a kick out of it everytime...i dont blame them...
For any of you avid book readers,Authentic Beauty:The shaping of a set-apart young woman by Leslie Rudy is a good read...
I just found out that a boy I went to school with ( my freshman yr of college) just died, the happiest, funniest,cutest Bahamian guy you could ever meet. But he was battling his own demons...why are ppl like that the most miserable?
wishin u a wonderful weekend..& study hard for finals!
Onose

ReplyDeleteGod rest his soul.
Lol @ such is life.
ReplyDeleteBut mehn na so life dey o my sister.
Man must die after man laugh
All the best in your exams and good luck in your plans for Xmas and spring break. For your naija summer trip, take very light cottony clothes, it can get really hot. And if you're susceptible, take Malaria and typhoid drugs. Vera has a show out on the very topic so maybe you should listen to it.
ReplyDeletesad...that's so sad..sometimes the merriest one carries the heaviest heart.
ReplyDeleteArgh! So mad tried to make a comment last night but my computer was messing up. Lol, i forgot what I even said last night. oh well, next post.
ReplyDelete.. I remember a little. Woo, i don't know how you are going to do it for a month in Nigeria, because it was hell for me. And in Nigeria you lose like hella pounds. Can you believe I lost twenty-seven pounds in a month? And then gained it all back months later? Uggggh!! But yes, we will see how long you last, lol, because its all good, but you get homesick. Well Nigeria should be your home, but you know what homesick I am talking about.
God rest his soul n good luck with finals!
