It's A Wonderful Friday!

It's day 325 of documenting 2025
40 days to 2026!

Hey hey! It's a Friday 😊
I would say today was one of those undramatic days...
It's one of those days I'm most grateful for.

Well, it started off with an early morning lecture....one that I wasn't so eager to go to. I had to stand up regardless and get ready for class. An 8am class.

On getting to the lecture hall, the entrance was locked.
I had to stand with the others and wait till the lecturer got there with the person who opened the door.
Hours later, class was over and after an organized prayer meeting, I was on my way home.
In the morning!

It felt weird....coming back from class and greeting good morning.
I'll probably get used to it soon.
I got to my room and just lay in bed.
From there, I dozed off.
Turns out, it became a nap.
One I really needed 😌

Woke up and finally changed out of my clothes...
Then did all my pending chores before stepping out to withdraw cash.
Then something made my day.

A friend of mine, who I like to call my sister...finally messaged back!
After such a long time!
If I was overly emotional, I would be  shedding tears of joy! 🥲
I just thank God she's doing okay, as long as she has replied.
Why this is such a big deal?

Because she lives in Canada....a million miles away!
And she's a busy person who might not have time for calls and all that.
I messaged her several times a few months back, but she didn't even read the messages.
That shows that she probably doesn't have the time for that...and I totally understand.

Well, that's probably the main highlight of my day, other than the fact that I got paid for my online job today.
I wasn't even expecting it, but the plan for it that I have in mind still stands. Savings.

I was probably thinking to keep some part of it for my pocket money, but that would mean I didn't keep to my word.
I have to be disciplined.
And I know myself, especially what I would do with the money if I don't save it.
In a week: "Byebye to 20k!"
I ain't lying here...that's me 😅

So yeah....I'm gonna keep it, to achieve the goal I have set for myself.
It's all about challenges and discipline and achievement in this jungle called "university."
I'm here to make an impact, and it won't happen if I'm not working on myself. 

C'est fini 😌

365 Days With Self-discipline
📌 On Being the Child of Your Own Works

"Every one is the son of his own works."
Quote by Miguel de Cervantes

Here’s a fun metaphor for today: you’re the parent of yourself, and hence, you’re the child of your own decisions, habits, and beliefs.

Would you raise your children in the same way as you’re raising yourself?

Are you being a good parent, ensuring that their child grows up with self-discipline, or are you lax, constantly cutting your child some slack and ultimately turning them into a weak-willed adult?

Are you understanding and supportive or critical and mean when your child makes errors while trying to fail their way to success?
Lastly, are you setting a good example?

Do you expect one thing from your
child and then do the opposite when they aren’t looking?

Let me answer this question....
You remember what I said earlier about training myself?
I'm my own parent and I'm raising myself to face the hard things and always depend on God.

It's not always easy tho....because sometimes I deny myself and face uncertainties, even battling with fears and unrealistic expectations.
But I always call on my Heavenly Father to help me.
And he always does...because He's a very good listener.

I thank God for how this whole week went.
First week as a course rep wasn't so bad, but from what my classmates tell me, they say it suits me 😊
I also won't forget what happened today, which happened to be the election day for my faculty, Social Sciences.

Someone called me after the morning lecture and was in a way, scolding me for what I did...in that I made it optional for them to show up for the manifesto reading that happened yesterday.
I didn't even go, mainly because I wasn't feeling that election spirit.

He was like, "things like this...you don't make it optional. You have to exercise the power to make them comply".
He even mentioned the HOD.
"If the HOD hears about this, he may understand because you're still in 100 level....but just know this for next time".

All the time he spoke, I was just nodding like a lizard.
Yeah....till next time 😏

I think that would be all for today's documentation.
Thanks for reading 🎀

Yo! It's actually 40 days left till we start saying, "Happy New Year!"
At first, I was thinking it was more than that, but by literally counting the days left, I found out it's true.
40 more posts left!
