A supposed "holiday!"

Today is a holiday meaning that it's a lecture free day! But do you know that, despite that nothing changed at all?! It felt way more busy that other Mondays with a lot of activities in them.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities of Nigeria(ASUU) declared the seventh of February 2022 a public holiday as a warning indication to the federal government. They are set to embark on an indefinite strike if their demands aren't met.

Well...that means the whole of today is supposed to be a free day but it wasn't so free for me, and I believe other students of my class will say same because instead of resting, we were caught unawares by the impromptu announcement from the biochemistry department demanding we all submit our practical reports within a very short time, this made everyone prepare for what they hadn't anticipated, and we had to do all the practical reports today and submit the same day!

A day that I had plans for soon turned out to be just like any other Monday, full of work and the stress that comes with it, but still, I guess I will still try to squeeze some holiday spirit out of the day. It's not the end of the world.

The weather seems friendly. Although it's the cold season here it is neither dry nor cold today, just a little bit hazy and I think a nosemask will solve all that. So I am thinking of going to take a walk as soon as I am done with today's tasks.

Sleep. That really had to be on my list for today, but unfortunately I had to exclude it because of my plans which has been blown away by the unexpected practical, but then some people who love sleep much more than I do managed to get some under the department's staircases. 😂

The above person is a male course mate of mine who according to him, he had only had 5 hours sleep in the past three days. He couldn't take it anymore and he slept... Under the staircase.

In the meantime we are almost done with the reports. The next item is to conduct the next practicals and then we'd be done for the day. Then I can get that walk I want to get, then I can get that sleep I desire to get.

Sometimes due to all the stress, but expected and unexpected, I wish ASUU will make up their mind and embark on that strike they have been issuing threats to the federal government about just so I can get a moment respite and be free of all these, but still, it is just a matter of time and one day it will all come to an end. Just trust the process.

So enough of the rants. How have you all been reads tars! I haven't been able to post anything yesterday and the day before because I had a very terrible problem with my phone and it affected the engine. All my very important files that I faulted to care to copy to my laptop where all lost as I had to replace it with a functioning one. My phone has been giving me a lot of poblems lately and I am trying to gather just enough to purchase a new one.

Yayy! I just got my first three-figure worth of subscribers!! I got a hundred subscribers already! Thank you all for the love. It wouldn't have been possible without you all.

Ugghh!

It's my round for the practicals already!

Gotta go.

Thanks for reading.
