The Diary Game: Classes, Celebration And Cooking (26-06-2025)

Hello beautiful community members, truth you're good? I'm not too well, the weather hasn't been friendly. I don't know if it's old age that's calling me because I never used to experience some things I'm experiencing now like being sick due to the weather condition. I had a beautiful but stressful day, I've come to terms with Thursdays knowing it'll always be stressful because of the kind of lecturers that are handling us every Thursdays. But well, it's nice having to update y'all about my yesterday's activities so let's get right into it. BTW, it's your girl @purpleidy23

I woke up very early yesterday even before my alarm rang, i had stayed awake to revise for the test I had that morning and had exhausted the topic so laid on my bed waiting for 6am so I could sweep and tidy my room before going to school. I had my morning prayers and also called my friend whose birthday was yesterday to celebrate him, we talked for about twenty five minutes before I hanged and went about my morning chores, I had my breakfast after bathing, got dressed and left to school.

I got to school very early using my school's shuttle, alighted and walked down to my lecture hall and joined other students who were already. Some were still reading while the others did nothing but gist with their friends, I wanted to join the readers but I was distracted when I came online to browse about something. I received a chat from my friend asking me to come over for his birthday celebration when I'm done with all my classes for the day. I got carried away and engaged in more gist with my friend online though I kept checking to know if the lecturer had arrived. But then he wasn't in sight, I got disappointed but then I was enjoying my conversation with my friend.

It was some minutes past 9am yet the lecturer wasn't in sight, there was tension in the hall as most students had planned to leave by 9:45am to the next class at our other campus, it's a fifteen minutes walk down there and didn't want to go late so as to be allowed entrance into the hall. Our lecturer arrived by 9:17am, he saw a full hall and was shocked. In his words "if you're not for this class, please leave us" but no one left. He went to his office and returned with attendance if the last class and asked us all to step outside, you go back into the hall when you're being called. I began to panic knowing I once missed his class and prayed for my name to be in the list. After the whole exercise, it was almost time for the next class and gave us permission to go and postpone the test till the next week.

I didn't want affliction to rise the second time so instead of walking down to the next class, I entered a keke down to the school gate and walked down to the hall. I missed the class last week because we were not allowed into the hall as we went late, I used "we" because it wasn't just me but the entire students in my class. I arrived early and the lecturer walked in few minutes later and began to lecture us, it started raining heavily and I fell asleep during lectures. First time I felt so comfortable in the lecture hall, the fans were on and working, I sat comfortable without being pressed by anyone and then came the rain, it was more than enough reason to sleep off. My friends woke me up, reminding me I wasn't at home but in class, rather.

I was so hungry after the class, I walked out to look for a vendor to buy snacks from and I luckily found a lady and bought some snacks from her. It was raining and I knew the repercussion won't tarry because my body is no longer friendly with the rain. I went to a POS stand to withdraw money and also stood there to eat my snacks. The money I withdrew was for a textbook and we were asked to review the textbook, I have about three undone assignments and the deadline for submission is fast approaching.

I didn't go to the POS stand alone, but went along with few friends of mine who also wanted to purchase their own textbooks, we made the transactions but waited for the rain to subside before going to buy the textbook. We walked into the office and met a lady who attended to us, we didn't go with the permit card but she still sold the textbook for us and asked us to come back for stamping. I thanked her and left with my textbook, checked the time and realized it was already afternoon but it wasn't looking like one. I went back to the other campus for another class by 1pm and she took us till 2pm, it was a joyful moment when the lecturer walked in and introduced herself as the one to take us on the course. It was her first time of coming since school resumed last month.

I couldn't wait to rush home and sleep after class, went home around 3pm. I ate and had some rest before stepping out in the evening to my friend's place, I got there and presented him a gift and I was asked to prepare his best meal. I wasn't really in the mood to cook but then I had to, I went to the market and bought some foodstuffs, came back and prepared a sumptuous afang soup for dinner. That's my Thursday in print, thanks for reading and see you on my next post.
