Story so far

Hi guys,
Sorry I've been MIA. I've made several attempts to post but my Internet as been acting up and my phone is not connecting to the laptop so I'm going to post from my phone.
Law school has been a new experience, first I moved to the hostel so no more driving to Bwari from  town everyday my bank account is glad. At first I felt some how about my roommates but they cool as f#*# so happy days.


The hostel is alright would give them a 6/10 the rooms are cosy nothing spectacular, beds,study table, lockers and a bathroom and toilet at the back to be shared with the occupants of the next room. Meaning four to six people sharing depending on how many is in a room. 
There is no running water so you have to fetch water from the tap but there are people available to help out all you do is pay them and they are at your service. You rent a drum to store water for 1,500 and they fill is up with water for 300 at a go. Sometimes you can negotiate a monthly agreement which can include fetching water, laundry and cleaning services.
The water is cold so having your shower in the morning is a struggle if you are not used to cold shower. I brought my electric kettle from home but no light In the mornings so I'm stuck with cold showers it's been two weeks since I moved to the hostel and I'm still struggling.
The generator stays on till one am, I'm not exactly sure when they turn it on but you have enough time to charge your phone and other appliances.
We are not allowed to cook in the hostel so mami market to the rescue the food is very cheap but can be very unfriendly to the stomach at times.

Lectures are ok I guess, some interesting and other boring as hell. We do a lot of presentations which takes up a lot of time and people tend to ask very stupid questions and one can  only wonder how they made it to law school.
They are very strict with the uniform and I've seen a lot of people get turned back at the door. I keep it simple with white shirts and blacks skirts to avoid embarrassments and the long walk back to the hostel.
That's all I can think of for now, will keep you posted once more creeps up.

HOLIDAYS.

Hi guys, So I've been in Lagos for the last three weeks and it has been nothing but chaos, I was very excited for this holiday but everything seems to be going out of control and I scared of the consequences of my actions.  As usual, I have a lot of ideas about what to do in my head, I had plans to write a lot more since my stories are mostly written about Nigerian characters and the cities I've visited in the country. I wanted to update my cv in order to start looking for a new job when I get back to Dublin, I also wanted to learn how to use excel properly and also learn other tools that will make my job search easier and increase of getting a better job.

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.

COURT EXTERNSHIP : Entry 1

I had plans for the two weeks break, had it all planned out in my head, study, work out, stay the F away from carbs and sugar. All I did was sleep, eat carbs and stock up on sugar, I feel like a failure, well not entirely but I'm the real definition of a waste man, Didn't realize how tired I was until I started taking naps during the day yet not finding it difficult to sleep at night. We started our externship . Yay! My posting got changed to Igbosere, got the email while I was in Ikeja High Court, I love criminal litigation, practicing in Nigeria doesn't look that bad. The Judge heard 16 cases, some which were for arraignment but the accused person's did not show up. It's a complete different ball game, been there watching everything we were thought in class being put into practice . Commercial is not as exciting as criminal but , I like the court. The judge hears cases on Land, landlord and tenant, general civil.  breach of contract and some corporate issues...
