Have you ever been scared to perm or put a weave inyour hair because you have constantly been sweating over the weeks? I'm at that stage at the moment. Like my friend says "Osun state's got 2 suns" but it seems Lagos state's got 2.5.
Anyways, it's almost time to go home for 3 weeks. School's out in preparation for 3rd term. Exams are almost over and I have marked and seen some hilarious papers. I included a composition(essay) section in the English exam and you can imagine the kinds of grammar, punctuation, spelling and writing styles I had to endure. I got frustrated especially while I marked this portion of the exam. I saved it for the last because I dreaded it very much. So much that I can't even be bothered to type out one of them for you to read but I might include 1 or 2 before I eventually publish this post.
I realized there was a kid in my JSS3B class that the other students respect so much and I often wondered why. I mean, he looks older than most of them but I wasn't sure by how much. In his essay, he stated the year he was born and by my impeccable calculations, he's 21 this year. Now, there are Corpers his age. He still has 3 more years of secondary school before 2 - 5 years of postsecondary education. Now, I haven't asked why he is that old at that level in his education, but from his grades and attitudes towards education, I have a feeling he has repeated a few classes. He hardly comes to class, too busy playing soccer or roaming about the school compound and when he does come to class, his performance is poor. He doesn't do homework or nothing important to up his grades. I can't even punish or give him any aje butter beatings. Lol. I'm too scared. Anytime I have a list of noise makers written, I always find a way to skip hi when his name comes up. It's insane!
It's time to go back to Lagos and I'm shit scared. The peace and tranquility and freedom I have here is not equal to that I'll have in Lagos. I can't even hold my phones in my hand in certain areas in Lagos. However, I miss home and Jagger. Can't wait to have 3 weeks worth of fun. Since I moved back from Toronto, I have lived longer in Osun state than Lagos.
