A bored soul

“Weekends are sacred for me. They’re the perfect time to relax and spend time with family and friends.”

— Unknown

What could be worse than being bored at home with no one to cheer you up around you. Though you have your phone and system keeping you busy and making you forget no one is around, but only you. The only thing that can make it possible is when there is light and you plug everything into the socket, charging and playing around with it, most times, you may decide to listen to music or watch movies for several hours and when you feel tired, just sleep while the fan is on, blowing the air into your body while you sleep naked on your bed or if you want, sleep on the carpet which suit your position then. This is my life and what I have been doing since I graduated.

Life after school is boring. We thought we would be free when we finally finish school and things would be going fine since you are alone, no one to remind you of the lecture you will be having. Nothing to take you inside the school since you have no business there but it seems it isn't as easy as we imagined it to be. I am bored in the house.

The school is on holiday and I never knew this is how everywhere looks when students have gone home and the city is as quiet as nothing. Only a few shops opened and seeing the whole market go empty, one would know students owns the area. Without students, nobody would sell. Without students, the market area wouldn't be functioning. I was forced to realize students are the vibe in the market. As it is now, you just have to stay indoor for your own safety.

I thought I wouldn't go home after school but right now, I can't stay in this house any longer because students aren't around and one has to be careful.

You sleep, you wake up, eat, stay inside while you keep staring at everything in your room. Nowhere to go. You will have to transport yourself to the main market to get what you need as you can't find them around since the sellers are also on holiday. Who will buy what they sell when students have gone home? I pity those sellers because I can vividly say they survive through what we buy from them.

I am done with my project and would be submitting the binded copies next week by God's grace and I even bought a wine for my supervisor as an appreciation for being soft with me even though at first, she was acting merciless but we have become friends that she would smile at me when entering her office.

She is really a nice woman, I just didn't get close to her enough then, but with the little time I have spent with her, she is good.

Once I submit my project, I would travel to my hometown, at least to spend some time with them before coming back again to school for an exam that has been postponed till further notice. This exam is compulsory since it's a teacher's program examination. The certificate would prove that we are indeed professional teachers. The exam isn't included in the curriculum but we must do it. It's also a computer based one with objective questions just like Jamb.

I would need to endure staying in the hostel for a week more so I can carry my bag and travel to relax and enjoy the moment with Grandma and Dad. Sure, I would love staying with them and this would surely allow me to have more time for myself without thinking of what to eat for breakfast or lunch.

I spent my day alone in my room yesterday. Though I ate what I craved, I continued watching the Kdrama movie titled "King's Affection" and crying alone while watching it. It's sure an emotional movie and I really felt for the crown prince who had to go through those tough moments even when she wasn't expecting such a life being dictated to her by her royal family. She wanted a different life outside her royal family but things have gone worse for her to change because she would be killed if they found out her real Identity. I don't want to narrate everything, as if it can be narrated. Lol But if you are interested, you can watch and enjoy it.

PS: Did you notice I used "she" for the crown prince? Find out in the movie and know why I said so. It isn't a mistake on my part. Lol

I have been sleeping peacefully since last November with no one disturbing me until I heard a creeping movement in my room last night and I was shocked to see I have a companion. It's a little Rat and I can't kill it, I just have to spare it while it keeps disturbing my sleep. At least it isn't coming for me on my bed. Maybe, I would know something is in for me then.

It's weekend and I have nothing to write about and I decided to make it like a rant or something else you wish to call it but it's fine by me. As long as you, my readers , understand my point here.

I think I need to pause here and leave the comment section for you guys, waiting for your beautiful comments as usual and I am always grateful for having people like you coming to my blog every day and it makes me know that my voice in writing is always heard and appreciated.

Thank you so much 🤗
