Permit me to talk about my day yesterday. It was another beautiful day for me and I was so excited for achieving some targets I planned in the morning. I was supposed to wash my clothes very early in the morning but it seems luck wasn't on my side because it is who brings clothes outside to wash owns the wire to spread on. We are thirteen students living in that room, you would imagine how it would be. We are always looking out to who will wash today or tomorrow. I don't rush things though and I will never drag anything with anyone. This is why I wake up as early as 5am when I have lectures at 7 or 8am to take my bath because if I wake around 6-6:30am, only God knows when it would be my turn on the queue 😁😁
At least I am relocating from that house and leaving such a life saga soon.
So, after seeing clothes being spread on the wire, I took my clothes inside postponing till the next day which is today. Fortunately for me, the sun came out yesterday and I guessed the clothes would have dried up. I changed my mind to wash in the afternoon around 12pm and I spent two hours washing in the sun. I was shocked seeing how much my clothes were and I began to ask who used my clothes aside me? 😅😅 Thank God some of my clothes got dried before the rain started which I had to spread the remaining ones yet to dry this morning for the sun to do its work.
Okay, our seminar is approaching. Which Seminar? You ask right?
It's my school seminar and it's the day to hear blunders and big grammars from our 400 level students 😅😅 I am not mocking anyone oo because I know myself too especially being an introvert. I am shy to face the crowd but do I have a choice? I will eventually face the crowd and some lecturers that will be present because it's a mark and a course on its own. If you miss the seminar, it's automatically an extra year for such student.
I remembered the last time we were writing an exam, one of the Lecturers said in the hall when he was pissed off with some sets of students and he said he is already anxiously waiting for our seminar day to listen to some students who only know fashion and make up and cannot speak good English. Lol
The truth is, I still wonder how some students in my department got admitted. Like, all they know is to speak in their dialect and even if English is being expressed to them, they respond in their dialect. If you know how Ondo town is and the tone they use, you will understand me.
This made me remembered a course we did last two semesters and we were to do micro teaching. This is a mini teaching done in the classroom before going for the real practice outside the school. The lecturers grouped us into ten and there is this particular lady that was in my group. All she ever know is to do fashion, put on a high heel and her car to oppress other students in school.
When it was our turn to talk, I was praying inside my mind for the lecturer to call either I or another person to come for the teaching but unluckily for us, the lady was called. It was the lecturer's intention to embarass her though. When she got to the stage, she couldn't teach or even open her mouth to talk. I was like how can a Guidance and Counselling Student not know how to express herself? This was when I knew not everyone will go for what they learnt in school. She ended up implicating us in the group because it is what she gets that will be awarded to everyone in the group.
Just yesterday, our course representative had grouped us into 8 each for the seminar. According to her, she said the lecturer said each group members should bring 5 topics and one would be chosen by him, then we will debate among ourselves who will speak.
The truth is, I know my ability. I will be doing the talk on that day alongside two more students in my group.
I am also patiently waiting for some students too who wouldn't be able to express themselves in good English but what they know is fashion and how to oppress everyone. Lol
The big part again is that we would be contributing a huge sum of money as said by our course rep. Well, God will provide because we still do not have any other option than to pay it.
Someone already created a WhatsApp group for us and I have joined. It's time to start working and preparing for the day so none of us would disappoint anyone. At least planning brings out perfection?
This would be my third seminar though and I don't need to worry but the only difference is that then, I did it for the secondary school students while this one would be done in the presence of my colleagues and other lecturers to be present on that day.
I would like to appreciate @Niazi420 for requesting to be my sponsor. God bless you friend 🤗🤗
Thanks for reading today.

I am sure you can pull it off successfully! I am introvert too, and that one seminar where I spoke to back then was still fresh into my memory. Felt like a boss! 😂😂
