I wish....

I wish my mom wasn't thousands of miles away so she could be here for graduation
I wish I never broke up with my boyfriend so i wont be single
I wish my parents were rich so they could buy me a car and i wont be stuck with this crappy car
I wish I had a 4.0 GPA so going into medical school will be a breeze
I wish.....
sometimes I am always wishing for the things i do not have instead of being thankful for the things i do. Instead of i wish, i want to say i know but....
I know my mom is not going to be here for graduation but she still loves me and i am thankful to have a mom
I know i might be single but i am enjoying life
I know my parents are not rich but i am thankful that i have parents
I know i do not have a 4.0 GPA but i am thankful to be graduating from college
This optimistic attitude in my opinion is healthier for me...

Sorrys, Goodbyes and i love yous

Finals are over and my journey here at TLU is slowly coming to an end but i am very grateful for the opportunity to go straight form high school to college which is a first for my family. From today till Saturday, i will be saying my "Goodbyes" to people i may never see again, my "sorrys" to those i might have offended. i really would like to make peace with everyone and also my "i love yous" to all those who were close to me and will be missed. I still think about the future and what it holds in store for me; This summer, i will be taking the MCAT to get into medical school, after that, i will find a job and perhaps volunteer at the hospital. I will also like to visit Paris and Florida and New york.....and so on. But most importantly i would like to visit my home country Nigeria after over 3 years. I want to see my first home were i grew up, and visit my friends who i haven't seen in so long. it will be fun hearing my language and eating the foods that i have missed. Yes, going to Nigeria will be top on my list of things to do. As for medical school, i would prefer to be in Texas especially San Antonio but we all know how competitive it can be, i just pray i get accepted into at least one school and i will be satisfied. The weather is an issue for me that is why i would really like to stay in Texas but as long as get accepted, i will suck it up and go wherever i am accepted...

period of doom!

you know what is worse than studying for finals, waiting for the grades to come out because there are times when things do not turn out as expected. One might feel great after taking an exam and the grades come out terrible and you might also think you did terrible but it turns out great. there are also times when you know you definitely did terrible for sure and are not surprised by the outcomes. either way, i usually try to prepare myself before hand for the worst, i just lower my expectations and if things turn out better than expected, the better for me. This period feels like a period of doom for me because i am waiting to see how good i perform in my last semester of college and how good my GPA turns out in the end...

NO HACKERS ALLOWED!!!!

OK, so a few days ago, as i was leaving moody science, i met one of my fb friends and she said that my fb page might have been hacked into because i sent her porn!!!! i know, i had that same expression on my face as you have because why would i want to send porn to anyone via fb. so once again i had to change my password and delete all the stupid posts and all the other shenanigans that comes with fb. just as i had done that, my sister(not really my sister but i call her that) then calls me from new york to say that i just sent her a virus. i was like "Que the hell"! why are these hackers after me.i felt really bad because it wasn't me plus she might have to spend money to get it fixed; so once again i changed my password and stuff and hopefully got it fixed, so i don't get anymore complaints from people. Those Dang hackers need to stay away from me already!

life after...

it sounds like the title of some rap music but it is just me contemplating life after TLU.I have two days left and i am looking forward to doing a lot of things before going into medical school but at the same time, i will miss the experiences i have had at TLU such as singing in the choir, choir tour, hanging out with my girls, e.t.c. each and every day , i think about places to explore and new experiences to gain because i might not have any free time again in a long time. i am working on getting some things checked off my "bucket list" (am not dying anytime soon, i just like that name) but sky diving and bungee jumping are not on the list. i definitely want to visit new places, meet new people, try new foods but all of these depend on how much "mula'' i have. but i am open to suggestions on stuff to do with my year off school, so reply to my blog....peace!

Senioritis

ok...so it is my final semester here at TLU and it is like a bitter sweet experience. i just had to get through my final finals in college and it will be all over; but this did not happen. i experienced the serious disease known as "senioritis". i thought i was immuned to it but when it came time to study for finals, i just couldnt do it; that was when i knew i had the disease. it was a mixture of laziness, procrastination and of knowing that i dont have to take any more college classes. but somehow, i had to figure out a way to get it done so that i dont leave college with shameful grades. i just hope that i can be free from the disease when it comes to studying for the MCAT this summer because i need to have an excellent score to get into med school...but dont worry, i am working on it.

My New York....

okay so the past month has been full of travels for me, although i do not enjoy being in vehicles for very long, i definitely like to visit places. For spring break, i went camping at "enchanted rock" in fredricksburg, TX; cute little town with the rocky attraction. Rock Climbing was new to me and i totally enjoyed it but after a few days in the wilderness, i was ready to hear the noise of cars, see tall buildings and all that the city life has to offer.
The week after that, i went on choir tour to Dallas....huge city. We went to "the Galleria", this mall was huge! And that was when i realised that even though the wilderness experience is good once in a while, i really enjoy the bigger cities most. I love that there are a lot of people, lots of cars, lots of buildings and there is always something happening. I don't know what it is, maybe because i grew up in the city but i just love it! My ideal city will probably be New York (which am still yet to visit). Don't get me wrong, i totally like the idea of trying new things and going new places but when it comes to the debate about small town vs big cities, for me, big cities always wins.
