Today i woke up on time, but i wasn't feeling like myself. This has been happening a lot lately, i don't know what's going on. I've avoided anything that will make me look at myself and wonder what i have become.today however things turned out different. I decided to check out my writing.com account and there it was...The one thing i have been working for, wanting so bad but it was beyond my reach. I received an upgraded membership from an anonymous person. Maybe for some people its not something big, but come on, i can now set up the blog I have always wanted to. So now no more excuses, no more lying to myself and procrastinating day after day. This is my chance to do something, not for the sake of doing it but because i love it. Welcome everyone, i am so excited just wish you could see my face. This is even better than my CAT results yesterday. This is way above stealing candy from the jar as a kid. That was fun, no doubt about it but its a new beginning that i am ready for (i think). And for what its worth i am really grateful to the person who sent me this. I owe you. Watch this space

| I just finished watching Kick Ass. Before you get that look, let me remind you i was in rehab trying to get over my addiction for movies. That's probably why i am watchin a movie that was released months ago. Anyway, am glad i watched it. Am not a critic but i have to say,when you have an 11yr old kid who goes around slicing up people it kinda sends the wrong message to other kids. Which is why i have decided that as much as they are acting, i don't want my small sister buying a purple wig and calling herself hate girl. So that means i either head of to rehab again which in case i haven't mentioned, i don't think is really working for me. Now that the subject came up i did make a similar promise when watching a certain episode in criminal minds where the serial killer turns out to be a kid. Ok, i admit i have to cut down on the movies not just the creepy ones with dead guys who walk, but also on the slasher movies. They are not doing anything for my already hyper imagination. Got to rush, love you all. Bonne nuit |

| Its been a week since we were sent home packing after some idiots decided they'd rather stone innocent passers-by than go to class and read for finals. Anyway am stuck home till we are recalled and until then am expected to remain home doing heaven knows what. Thing is am not exactly a home person, this staying and reading at home is not exactly working for me. So any suggestions? |

| I lost my dog,Doo today. It really sucks, suspected poisoning am told. I could have done the post mortem but she was my dog. It seemed inhuman, she deserved the respect. |

| Many apologies because i wasn't available yesterday. Speaking of which i set a new record yesterday-was done parking in 5min and got out of campus in another 10. My head is still spinning. I have no idea what happened yesterday,one minute everything was ok, we had classes,went about the normal schedule,no worries except maybe about the forthcoming exams. The announcement was made in the midday news but a couple of friends and i missed it. I should have guessed things had taken a turn for worse when the whispers started and later when the panic and the rush to leave campus became evident. Still i wanted to see for myself, the tension was so thick you could feel it in the air. It was going to burst any moment and there's nothing as destructive as putting together stressed and angry comrades. Good thing though am safe and everyone else is. |

| Am beginning to feel like an eskimo straight from Antartica. If this weather lasts any longer i will not get out of bed. I appreciate the rain,truly i do but rain 7days a week,wearing a jacket from monday to sunday and having to get a new pair of shoes is not my idea of fun. If i didn't have exams in two weeks time and i had a very rich dad,i could get used to this: curling on my bed or couch with hot cocoa and a good book...recipe to a great time indoors. To make matter worse my colleagues have decided they'd rather stone cars than prepare for exams. Their reasons are genuine,i couldn't agree more but surely there are better ways of resolving issues. Taking to the streets every time things don't work only makes matters worse and increases tension amongst people. Time has made me wiser and has taught me that there's always another option we just have to be open minded enough to see it. No matter how things turn out remember we are in this together.vive la comaradie! |

| Looking at my mum i sometimes wonder if she would be better off without us,always on her case,pestering her with our never ending needs. We're not that bad at least that's what i think but raising 5 kids is no joke. If we were angels she'd be the happiest mum on earth but let's face it, we are not and if i were her i'd sell us all in a market and just be done with it. I guess that's why she's the greatest person in my life. She's super strong and she taught me every i know,how to be the best i can be and to stick my neck out when everyone else won't. She showed up at every parents meeting,came for every visiting and when she couldn't she made sure someone showed up. We haven't made life simple for her,true, but we love her and we make sure she knows that despite the differences we have she's still our mum and we love her. |

| Tempers are rising by the second, am crossing my fingers hoping something good comes from this. Its funny how fast good will turns into something else and before you even notice you're lying flat on your face wondering what went wrong. I have taken an extended leave from my room,one since it has become home to some highly toxic insects. Reason two is well i don't think getting suspended for 1000 days is worth the satisfaction of what i call my rights. I have learnt that sometimes someone is going to violate my personal space and i have to deal with it because that's what adults do. However that doesn't give anyone the right to step on me like a doormat. Still i have to learn to control my temper which is why i will stay out of this. |

| I'll be precise for today,partly since am tired and i need to sleep and also because i'm trying to learn the art of summary. I have been hyper of late,which is not surprising considering its election time,but even for my standards i do agree i've become too loud. Which is why from today i will restrain from speaking unless its absolutely necessary. I'm also thinking of cutting down my sugar intake in case my blood sugar is responsible for my hyperactivity. By the way i got my assignment done,told you i would,so now am a free person. I love the smell of freedom. |

| Welcome to my life, where everyday seems like the last and the work just keeps getting tougher and tougher. For the record, the next time a lecturer asks for volunteer group leaders i will shrink in my seat and pretend am not there. I haven't had good rest since i don't know when and here i am stuck again finishing off assignment which is due tomorrow. I have no idea why i keep doing this to myself but for consolation i guess my parents raised me to be in the forefront of everything and not hiding behind my seat every time a challenge comes my way. Things are tough but i am tougher and as ridiculous as it seems i will get this done and i will do it in the time stipulated and hopefully my work pays off. And i just dumped 4 as my lucky number i am moving on to better things-3 is my new four and hope it doesn't disappoint me as you know who did. Do not be discouraged by the task that lies ahead nut rather rejoice in the the feeling you'll get afterward for a job well done. That's my manta for today, hope you take it to be yours as well. Here's to getting the work we've been putting off for ages done...cheers. |

| I've been postponing a lot of things of late and i know i have to get my house in order if i expect to get anything done. I hosted our bible study group yesterday,i think it went well considering i wasn't prepared and i kept spelling doom for myself. Am going through something at the moment, if it helps it has to do with a close friend. Thing is i know that something is wrong somewhere...i don't know what and my friend won't tell me but i have to help and i will do it in the only way i know. I'll be there to listen and just be a friend. Its not easy but when someone has been there for you, the least you can do is do the same for them. The next couple of weeks will be tough,am up for the challenge and hopefully at the end of it all i shall emerge victorious. Wish me luck and i could do with some encouragement...so looking forward to hearing from you. Cheer me on and lets get this show on the road! |
