WEEK 7/8

Hi Guys ,
Happy New Year !
I was not able to do a post on week 7 last so I will combine week 7 and 8 together then do an update on week 8 at the end of the week .
Hope you all have a great Christmas?

WEEK 7
Still going to school from home because I simply can not do the five or six in a room and ten to twelve people to a bathroom/toilet thingy.
No I don't think I'm better than everyone, I'm not used to living in such conditions and I find the price for Executive hostel expensive so coming from home is the cheapest option.
The traffic is not that bad but I have to hang around after lectures when I have group meetings which I'm yet to attend hope I don't get into trouble.


Class is still the same but more stressful, I didn't complete my registration last year, I unable to do my bio metrics and without this you cannot thumb print for attendance. I took advantage of this so I could leave class early.

The system is you thumb print in the morning before 9 and after lectures, failure to do both leads to you been marked absent, 75 percent attendance is needed in order to sit the exam. However attendance does not start reading until you do bio metrics.

I did mine on Thursday and regretted it because on Friday class went from 9-4 without break , the lecturers had intention of letting us go a half one but some students kept asking questions.
Also the fight for the thumb printing machine was appalling, there is something wrong with Nigerians when it comes to queuing , every one wants to go at the same time which makes the long process a lot more worse that it should be,

WEEK 8
I think its finally settling in that I'm in law school so I'm starting to get my act together, did not open a page during the Christmas break.

I bought most of my text books and some statutes last week , the size of some are quite scary. Agaba for Criminal Litigation made me question why I choose to study law. I always question why every time shii gets serious.

Nothing special happened on Monday expect arguing with a grown man about the seat I saved for my seat mates, we have a pact that who ever is the first to come in must save seats for the other two. The dude came and started arguing choose to sit in the seat I saved then some random girl decided to butt telling me I could not save seats.

He ended up sitting in the seat I saved for my friend and we just gave them nasty looks for the rest of the day.
 We had another argument on Tuesday which led to me putting in my earphones in order to ignore him, Uncle is not worth getting a query ( system used in law school when you break the rules or where it is seems students are not acting fit and proper you are issued a query, get three and you are out).More students are coming in which means if you do not come in early enough there is a random person in your seat.

Nothing special really happened, we were in corporate till past six on Thursday, I lost interest around four decided to go home but didn't want to miss attendance for the day so I chilled till class was over and drove home like a manic.

Make up classes start in week nine for students who registered late, the classes are going to run for six week from three to six. We also have Corporate law on Saturdays from twelve to four so anyone who wants to attend are welcome since its the most complicated one.
I typed this up since the start of last week but internet has been messing. I put money on my smile so that should  be fine for the next few days.
Week nine coming up soon.
Hope I didn't bore you ?

The Act of Indecent Dressing.

I've always wondered how women can walk around looking almost naked yet feeling comfortable with it. I've never been one for going out with skimpy clothes, I do have some skirts and dresses that are above the knees, but they stay unworn in the back of the wardrobe, I wore a very questionable leather peplum to the beach and I felt very uncomfortable, had to pull it down ever time I stood up , and when It was my turn to go get drinks my brothers friend took a look at me and told me to sit down.  I was embarrassed, but I turned a lot of heads, when we switched locations to Waterside I had a guy wait for me outside the toilet since he couldn't approach me in from of the two intimidating men I was with. He offered to take me out clubbing and I blamed it on the skirt because I was dressed like I belonged in a club.

I PICKED UP THE HIJAB

 I'm slowly transitioning from a cleavage bearing, alcohol sipping Muslim woman to a full-time hijabi.  Where do I start from? I've always wanted to be a hijabi but I didn't have the courage to do it, I admired Muslim women in their scarves and hijab, I gave it a go in Uni, tied a turban for a few weeks and I got bored and ditched it.  Told myself I will pick it up when I get married, I still need enough time to flaunt my locs, bare my chest and wear dresses with slits going above my knees.  I enjoyed sipping cocktails, drinking champagne and mostly Jack Daniels and coke, I quit alcohol a few times, the longest I went without alcohol was 12 months. I'm not an alcoholic, I go months without drinking on the regs,. especially when I'm in Dublin, but I need booze to survive in Lagos. A few shots once I get home from the airport, then Star Radler or Snapp before noon, this continues until I leave the city.  My motto was " I can't be sober in Lagos". 

ESCAPE

"God will punish you', I shouted as I tried to chase the man who robbed me" "E no go better for you ', I am fighting a battle I know I’m not going to win, but I hate being cheated, I settled on the train tracks to catch my breath, a few minutes before the train passes. A small crowd  gathered the nosy bastards who have nothing better to do on a Monday morning, I look up from after a few minutes, I have no choice, a pair of over-bleached feet appeared beside me. The sight of someone's skin bearing a striking resemblance to over roasted plantain nearly made me regurgitate the contents of my stomach. "How far now? she asked putting her hands on my waist.
