Application for Exeat

So, as some may be aware of, within the week I've spent in camp, I have had diarrhea (forced to use that dirty toilet), acute malaria and an allergic reaction to what I'm not sure of. I have a bunch of little bump on my arms. I've cracked my brain to figure out what it could be but I can't.

Also, within the week, thanks to my malaria, I have had 4 days of sleeping in, waking up when I please and also skipped morning devotion(if you have been reading my blogs, you'll know how I feel about this part of my day in camp). I have also learned how to skip lectures and mandatory programs. My roommates and i are fast becoming gurus. Lol.

By the way, my monkey(bunky, bunk-mate) and a few of my roomies, especially those whose beds are closer to me are amazing. Never ending fun and laughter. We make a wicked team all of us and it was just about to get better.

Now, my parents have pulled strings to bring me home for at least a week or more, which is great. I mean I could use the break to treat these ugly rashes and bond with Jagger some more before I come back to Osun state for my primary assignment.

By the way, the soldiers are disgusting. They are macking every girl mackable. Asking for numbers and all that. I have made friend with almost all of them, thanks to the piercings and phonetics. The only one who has attempted to punish me is now my #1 fan. I even bought him coke. Lol.

Tip for future Corpers, be friends with as many soldiers and camp officials as possible. It is in your best interest. They will act like they don't see you on the bed when they bust into your hostel to chase everyone out at 4:30am for morning devotion/marching. Too bad I will only get to enjoy the fruits of my labour the last 4 days of camp after today, the 14th of November. I plan to return on the 23rd and camp is over on the 27th.

I was allowed to go home on the basis of being a foreign student whose body is having trouble adapting to the environment, resulting in malaria, which I haven't had in over 15years, therefore, requires my family doctor to treat adequately as opposed to Corpers doctors(who couldn't even figure out vitamin C pills, neither could they understand that I was experiencing drug interactionism).

...And that's how I ended up in Lagos on me bed for the next one week.
