We practiced a parade routine which we will be doing tomorrow for the governor of Osun and some other state officials. They will be swearing us in and we will officially become Youth Corpers.
I'm really liking it so far, thanks to my new friend. Friends make a difference. Tomorrow is the grand parade we have been practicing for. We get to wear our khakis and the orange boots(I will post pictures of me in my uniforms). Looking forward to it even though it's gonna be a long ass day.
Tomorrow will mark the end of the extra hard task and hopefully the beginning of a tough and fun period.
Since I'm posting this the day after I started, I might as well talk about the parade since we just finished.
We are now officially Youth Corpers. No more Otondos. People were just fainting again today. I mean standing in the heat for hours under the sun can be hectic on the body. Once again #stillstanding.
Everyone belongs to a platoon and I'm in #4. That's gonna be like my camp family from what I've read and heard so I'm excited to meet them all. We will jump ropes, climb stuff, get exhausted, laugh at people and do silly things. Excitement!!!!
I found a solution to the shower thing. I will shower only at night. Since i would only be bathing outside anyways. I have to fetch water and its cold. Fml.
I have attached a picture of the camp ground (during rehearsals) with all 2850 of us.

That is a WHOLLLLLE lotta people..
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean by fainting though? Like legit collapsing?
Like legit collapsing. After being subjected to heat and dehydration for hours; most people often don't have time to eat breakfast. People collapse like crazy. Some people fake it and get caught sometimes tho. lol
