Documenting 2025

It's day 320 of documenting 2025. 45 days to 2026! Today was a good Sunday 😌 It started with service in the morning, during which I dozed off occasionally. Oops! I did it again! But it wasn't like the former time, when someone had to wake me up. I guess the dozing factor is decreasing. I got back to the hostel and ate my first meal of the day. Bread and butter with groundnuts. Then ended with 3 oranges 🍊 Pretty okay. Sometime later, I fell asleep and woke up to someone calling me. It was a coursemate who borrowed  my note from class. She came to the hostel to get her shirt from me as well as to return my note. I helped her get it yesterday on a delivery. After seeing her off, I went upstairs and changed from my Sunday dress, which I still had on. Then I went to help my roommate as she cooked and it was wonderful to discuss lessons from scripture and share stories. Later on, I called my dad and we talked for a while. As always, it was a wonderful time spent on the ...

It's day 319 of documenting 2025. 46 days to 2026! This is definitely a late night post... Typing by 11pm? Well, at least I published ONE post. Today went well. At first, I was just inside the room...studying God's Word and then I did some recopying of notes from last Monday's lecture. Then I went to see my friend upstairs and kept her company for a while. And I slipped back downstairs to finish up my laundry and fetch water for storage, as well as to take my bath.  Twas quite some effort! But it's becoming something that's usual now....so I think I have adjusted to that. I had to go on official duty to get some information for my coursemates. (Course rep duties 😌) I came back and then got on a video call with my friend PK. It was nice to see him and we chatted for almost an hour! We also came to an agreement on a project that would serve the both of us. I pray it all goes well. This would actually be the first video call since we reconnected in Septemb...

It's day 318 of documenting 2025. 47 days to 2026! Today started out well, but then ended with some tragic news. I'll end my gist with the news as well 😌 Well, I slept off thinking I would be able to work on some pending projects. I was so tired! I guess God was trying to tell me that I should rest when I need it. Turns out, the world didn't turn upside down when I came back online. And I'm done with most of my tasks, which I completed this afternoon. In a nutshell, today was mainly: Online tasks, course rep duties, sleep, see a friend, work again, write note, see friend in hostel. Now, I'm typing....by 6:45pm. In all, I thank God 😌 I was able to have quiet time with God, talk with my dad, chat with my friend, serve clients, have a nap, help out a coursemate, and enjoy oranges for breakfast. What else could I ask for? I'm eternally grateful for this gift of life. 365 Days With Self-discipline 📌 On the Inconvenience of Change "Change is not ma...

It's day 317 of documenting 2025. 48 days to 2026! Today was a twist of events... But first I want to say, I got no lectures tomorrow! Yayy! 😁 Okay, don't get me wrong... It's not like I don't like going for lectures. Just that this week has been hectic for me and it's going to get even more hectic next week. Why? Because we have finally worked on our timetable for lectures. And from Monday to Friday, we have lectures. The lecturer taking us tomorrow said we would start next week. Baby girl's very happy!  I'll rest properly tomorrow 😪 And then plan for next week. Oh yeah....the main gist. It turned out that I was elected as the course rep for my class. This time, it was a proper voting exercise done in the presence of a lecturer. And I got most of the class votes...15 to be exact. To be honest, I didn't know it was going to turn out that way. I would just say that God surprised me and I'm so grateful 🥲 He has given me an opportunity to...

It's day 316 of documenting 2025. 49 days to 2026! Okay, today wasn't so bad... I went for a lecture today, but we didn't do any serious business. We just got introduced to the lecturer and she got to familiarize herself with us. She also shared the rules and regulations that were displayed on a sample of the school answer sheet. She also introduced herself, gave a few pointers and then dictated the course outline for us to take note. I had to stay back to rework our class timetable...as part of assistant course rep duties. Then we got the class cleaned up. I got home quite tired. And I was still able to do my laundry...and freshen up afterwards. Then I had oranges for dinner 🍊 Not bad for a fasting day. That's basically how my day went. Let's get into highlights, a few thoughts and then end today's post. Alright here we go: 365 Days With Self-discipline 📌 On Doing What You Love  "Every man loves what he is good at." Quote by Thomas Sha...

It's day 315 of documenting 2025. 50 days to 2026! Like right now....I'm super tired 😴 We had lectures today from 10am till 4pm! Can you imagine? (I think you can) And the rains fell this evening. The first rains I saw in the hostel. The weather actually got kinda cool, and I was able to save up on water because I wasn't so hot that I had to take my bath. This post will be short. Let's just get into highlights and then I'll share a few more thoughts. 365 Days With Self-discipline 📌 On the Cost of Education and Ignorance "If you think education is expensive; try ignorance." Quote by Ann Landers One of the worst excuses you can use to rationalize that you can’t educate  yourself is to say that you don’t have the money needed to do so. For one, ignorance is more expensive than education.  One valuable piece of advice from a book can recoup its price a thousand times or more, while  committing one big mistake (that educating yourself might have pr...

It's day 314 of documenting 2025. 51 days to 2026! I finally had my Monday lectures today. Twas just like a regular secondary school class in comparison. The lecturer asked and answered questions from the students, and also gave the topic and its outlines. Then came the major difference. She asked us to read up on the subsections of the topic outline. Research on the first day! She then said that we would discuss the information we got in the next class. I really don't know what had been going on with me lately. I dozed off during the second class! It was just for a few moments tho...but this would be the second time it's happening! I really need to manage my energy...but God will help me. Maybe it's because I haven't been in a classroom setting in a long time, or maybe because I woke up early... I'm not so sure. But I'll adjust very soon...I hope 😐 After I came back from the lecture venue, I was quite tired and had a nap for on...

It's day 313 of documenting 2025. 52 days to 2026! Happy Sunday 😊 It's a new week...and I had a new experience today. The first time I went to church! Fun fact is, before I resumed to the hostel, I met someone at a webinar who recommended a specific campus fellowship for me to attend. Turns out, my roommate attends that same fellowship! This morning, she took us to where the fellowship was held, and we had the service till 11am. It was nice to be around other people...but I was just dozing off. Not so good for my first service 😒 But I couldn't help it. I woke up early this morning....around 3am. I knew it was God that woke me up, because I had asked Him to wake me up earlier. Then I went downstairs to charge my phone, because it was almost dead. Then something happened. I met a girl. She was playing tunes on a guitar. A guitar! 🎸 She was also charging her phone by that time...and we got to talk. I learned her name and the fact that she was...

It's day 312 of documenting 2025. 53 days to 2026! It's the weekend! Apparently, today's an election day in my state, so no one is to go out. But I haven't done anything tangible all morning, except wait for space to charge my phone. It's annoying! 😒 I don't actually want to use my power bank till Monday, so that's the price I have to pay. Well, it wasn't so boring. I finally finished the storage bag I started a few days ago. I can finally use it to store my personal belongings! Well, that's the main update for today tho...as it's still 2:34pm now. I'm not sure exactly when I will publish this post, or when you'll eventually read it. No matter, the streak is still alive 🔥 Let's just get into today's highlights and then I'll probably share some thoughts afterwards. These days, I ain't picking quotes no more. I'm just sharing the whole thing. So, here it goes: 365 Days With Self-discipline 📌 On Learning Wi...
