Lol

Some days it's "NEPA" with the problem. Imagine having no appliance/gadget working because of no power in this time. Wahala o. These days when my device has become my closest companion it's literally like torture when it's not available for use.

I compete Zoom classes but mine with Google is still on hold.

The classes I completed I either attended with a friend or I was really interested in them.

Tbh, I've not done much this month to improve my skillset. I have, however, worked on my mental health,my psyche and be relationship with God. I can well say that I'm a better version of myself now, than when the strike begun or while I was at school. This, however, didn't happen overnight. I loafed around for about 6-7 months before the change began to seep in.

I said Psyche, not physique 😂😂😂

I tried holding up my physique early in the days and was in pretty good shape from March through May. But the uncertainty got to me and I lost it. It's taken a while to get it back.

I was 93kg at the start of September, but now I'm down to 90. Progress has come slowly but surely ✊🏿

I don't think I have ever followed a class from beginning to the end😭. No matter how I try, including Spiritual meetings sef. Ommor I have a particular class by 8:30pm. By 8pm I am still trying to cook, by 9pm will be watching a TV program. I will just be passing the parlour to see what's going on😭 and still trying to concentrate. Odiro easy nwannem

Online learning has to be the most frustrating thing to do online especially when the lecturer is teaching and you just jejely go to your bed to take a nap because I mean I cannot come and kill myself. You then hear your name attached to a question in what feels like a dream and next you hear "Course rep mark her absent, she is not in my class". You continue your sleep because for all you know it's just a dream until you wake up to a text from your friend "Guy where you dey, prof they call your name, you just miss 5 marks this morning oh".

Online learning 🤦🤦😉.....At some point I got frustrated , is it the fact that sometimes the network can be so annoying or the fact that some lecturers will just drop screen record of slide😂😂, you will just be listening to them reading the slide for you like you don't know how to read😂😂.... Omohhhhhhhh that online stuff chop data mehnnn , I almost gave up😂😂...The annoying part is when I see due time for Assignment ( 11:59pm)

The big deal to me has been marrying my projects together.The fact that I had so many things in mind to do, but don't how well to pull it off due to uncertain time frame is disturbing. The strike gives me time to do those things and also uncertainty, which brings me to the question "what do I think is my most important project"

I think, this will look great on our CV. 'I have in the course of Eight Months acquired invaluable multi-tasking skills and the indispensable ability to be focused on any given situation, at anytime, or place. I am always motivated, even in extreme scenarios where everything seems impossible. I am equal to any task even if my last percent depends on it. Thank you 😄
