I got to enter into the school after three months of staying at home as the school management kept postponing our resumption date. I am in my final year and I already thought we would be through by December but as it is now, we should be finishing by January next year by God's grace.
As they say;
"A thousand years Journey would end someday".
I remembered when I got admitted as a direct entry student since I have done my NCE before, so I didn't join them in 100 level, I went straight to 200 level. Three years course is almost ending. Glory be to God.
It's good to be back to school to receive lecture apart from the online lectures we have been observing. I just got to listen to so many voice notes two days ago so I can meet up with the physical lectures because the lecturers won't even start from the beginning.
"Wahala for who no attend online lecture" (meaning there is trouble for those who didn't receive online lectures)
The first lecture was scheduled for 11am to 1pm. But two days ago, our course Rep had to inform us earlier to get ready as there might be an impromptu lecture by 8am. I woke up at 5am and did my morning devotion. Took my bath and was ready at 6:30am. Playing with my phone and at the same time checking the school group chat if there was any message.
It was past 8 and we concluded there wouldn't be any class until 11am. Suddenly at 9am, the course Rep sent a message for us to start coming as the lecturer is already waiting for us. Everyone in the group ranted and started blaming our course Rep but we don't have a choice.
I quickly called my friend and informed her of the change in plan. We agreed to meet at a particular place. I was so happy to see her when we met. We rushed down to the main road and took a bike to the lecture hall since we were already late.
We got to the hall and the lecturer was around. She took us the topic titled "Psychology of Adjustment".
At first she was dictating but I wasn't writing. Of what use is my writing since I have the PDF and she was dictating the exact thing from the PDF she sent to us.
I was sitting at the front with my friends and she noticed I wasn't writing.
"Why are you not writing?" She asked and I said I am already following up with the PDF. "At least you need to write because you will easily understand when you write in your notebook" I nodded and took my pen to start writing.
The lecture ended after two hours and she went out. We took some pictures with my friends.
The course Rep was addressing us on the right courses to register this semester so we don't have to make any mistake.
Since it was the first day, we were just few as other students are still enjoying the holiday.
After then, we started going home and branched the ATM within the school premises as I withdrew some money I would be taking to the market for my foodstuffs. I snapped different photos which I will be showing you.
This place is called "QUADRANGLE" Many students prefer to stay and sit here to study and most times perform some drama to catch fun. This is the best place for students to snap pictures.
It is safe to sleep on the grass and receive fresh air too. The best area to study during examination.
Just as we kept walking, I sighted this beautiful flower for decoration and I took shot of it
As if that wasn't enough, I had to capture these new students reading.
And that was the end of taking pictures in the school and we went home.
I read @gwapojohn 's post three days ago I think, where he prepared a meal he saw and learnt on YouTube for the first time. Here is the post link
It was so funny that he said "Expectation (image above) vs. Reality (this)" 😅😅
The food from the video he watched was different from the one he made and I decided to narrate my own experience sometimes ago.
I have never tried making Nigerian Snacks called "Puff Puff" before and so I watched on YouTube for many times and I concluded that I can make it perfectly. My first time of making Chin Chin was great when I watched on YouTube then. I even started supplying People my Chin Chin then and I made great sales. So I thought making Puff Puff won't be exceptional.
I bought the ingredients and started preparing my best of it. When I finished, the Puff Puff was soaked in the Groundnut oil, there wasn't enough Sugar. In fact it became another thing and I had to push everything to my neighbors to eat because I couldn't even taste it. 🤣🤣🤣
My neighbors got tired and threw them away. I planned on trying another time. At least "practice makes perfect". So, when I returned back from the Market, I started the process. This time around, I was careful not to repeat the Mistake I made then and to God be the glory, I made the real taste of Puff Puff 😅😅
INGREDIENTS I USED
Flour
Yeast
Water
Sugar
Salt
Groundnut oil
I mixed all the ingredients (flour, sugar, salt, yeast and water) together.
Then covered it very well to rise for an hour. Here is the result
I allowed the Groundnut oil to heat and I started frying my Puff Puff.
That was all about everything.
I want to let you all to understand me this time around. I might not be able to visit your posts on Wednesday as I would be having lectures from 8am to 6pm and by the time I return, I would have been tired. I will just try my best to do the little I can do.
Thank God Thursdays and Fridays are free days for me and I would have the time to engage unlike other days.
Thanks for reading
