Back to School Vibe (whatchu wearing?)

Hello guys, I have missed you, yes you.

 You know how they say life is in different phases? I feel like I’m in a new phase of my life. Summer job/internship has ended so I’m back to being a scholar. What is exciting tho is that I’m at the last lap of my university travail, so you can call me a graduate underway... it feels so good to be a final year candidate especially when you find yourself in a school that confines you to act in a certain way... Now I can start counting my days as they are numbered.

Final year is sweet and worth looking forward to, what is not fun is that it requires a lot of work. If you don’t know how to multi task, this is where you will learn it by all means. Project writing is one, having to read other courses is another, extra-curricular activities is also there. So you see, it has its own unattractive side which is a challenge that must be tackled with tact.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve grumbled over the phone in my conversation with concerned friends who ask how I’m doing.  But again, it’s one feat that can be surmounted. What are my knees for if I can’t pray to God in them? My mouth and hands will just be there for decoration.

Beyond my struggle for relevance and a good grade, I have been having it good with my friends. Some I didn’t see during the holiday so catching up was very necessary. They keep my mouth so busy with all sorts, food, gossip etc.  It is funny how we talk and talk and never run out of topic. Chai! Gist is sweet o, enough laughs..  

Again, that new semester fever that catches people is one thing I always look forward to whenever I resume school. This is one voiceless, yet sensitive area of every student’s life. We just know we must represent wherever we come from; village, city, family... You know what I’m talking about; New baffs: clothes, shoes, gadgets, hair, provisions, in fact all the new things of life. Looking sharp and smooth is one thing Babcock students don’t play with. It is very important to impress, at least the first week of resumption, anything less than this is a pity. I’m sorry for your ‘street cred ‘. The only thing that can save you is character which of course must show consistency from your very first day in Uni.  If you are the type that lets people know you for what you own (Material terms), you must ensure to live right on that standard, otherwise, your gist will spread like wild fire. 

I've always thought that my ‘kind of student’ by virtue of my school makes people like me live 

double lives.. Because what is obtainable here (my school) is totally different from what a lot people are use to, maybe that’s why it is called school. You have to start getting use to waking up early, laying your bed, tolerating roommates,  going for lectures, library, church blah blah... it’s like living in a cage for years and finally gaining freedom and then sent back again to the cage. Imagine that kind of juxtaposition... But it’s nothing that we can’t deal. I say no shaking to that.

You might not hear from me too often, but I sure will try as much as possible to keep in touch. My relationship with you guys is like a mother and a child. Speaking about parenting, I may not have been a good mother of late, my bad. I trust that I have the most matured children who understand even more than the mother. Do have a great week and hope to hear from you.

Deuces!
