Return to Osun.....

I dropped off my puppy at my friend's. By the way, shout out to my friend. Shout out to everyone that has dogsit for me. Mad love! Shout out to Jagger's daddy(u know urself). It was harder this second time to leave him compared to the first.

Anyways, I'm back in camp. I've missed my monkey and my roomies for real tho. And my other camp friends. 5 more nights to go then on to the real shit. For now, I'm back to the smelly environment, nasty bathrooms, disgusting toilets and early mornings, which I'm gonna try to escape all the time. On a more positive note, back to the crazy soldiers, the funny people, mammi market and the scrumptious gists waiting for me.

I think I'm missing something. Everyone is asking what I brought for them and I'm like confused. Was I supposed to bring something back? I mean, I only went to Lagos for a week for "medical treatment" and not to Jand for a vacay.

So, I've decided to go to mammi market to buy a lot of goodies for the ladies in my hostel. Maybe not all because we all getting the same amount for alawi(allowance from the government). I'll just buy for those that I actually talk to that have asked me.

I feel so loved tho. Everybody pretty much noticed I was gone and it's a good feeling. They all checking up on me and giving me hugs and all. I missed camp but I miss Jagger more.

Every corner I look over, someone's bending down to pee. It's insane. Saturday is camp fire night, so, no curfews. The plans are going down and around. Word on the street is that people are gonna be banging tho. The boys are buying condoms, girls are prettying up that area, shit is going down. Don't worry y'all, I'll give you my own gist if I get involved in anything like that. And I definitely will have other people's gists. I got some gists today about shit in camp, most of them I can't share. But here goes two:

People were tested by the HIV campaign/awareness group and 2 girls tested positive and one of them is pregnant, or both, not sure. By the time news travels, some information is altered or deleted. But yea, that shit just sucks.

Secondly, a girl went mad. Literally. She did not sleep for 3 nights, she marched in her hostel while people slept. She went around the camp patrolling at odd times and by the fourth night, her roomies realized something was off. Now, seriously? Your roomie or monkey made noise and didn't sleep for 3 nights and you didn't feel the need to get her some help?
Some people think it's the sun and the stress she was exposed to in camp, but I got a more plausible diagnosis. Cerebral malaria. I haven't googled to see if it is an actual condition or bullshit but if you guys get to it before me, let me know.
