Vacation

I never understood people who packed up their bags and decide to go for a 2 week vacation in the middle of the year. I totally did not get why they would waste so much money. However I am beginning to understand the importance of just getting away.

To say this year has been hectic is an understatement. 
I have known what it is to be helpless and homeless at the same time.............. 
I have been called a fool and an idiot in so many words and ways................... 
I have been told how incompetent I am................................................
I do not even want to go into my own personal self-doubt that hunts me day and night (but mostly at night because its just more scary then, I tell you these self-doubts are smart little things eh)....

All that whining above is to give a justification of why I needed a break, I needed to get out, I needed to escape even if it would be just for a few days. And I got my reason to tour the world Manchester and Abu
Dhabi for two weeks, My brother's graduation ceremony. It was a lovely time at Manchester with all the shopping and a marvelous time in Abu Dhabi with all the sights and desert safari (I even sat on a camel). So here are a few things I did on my vacation.

Beginning of Adulting

It has been a while since I wrote. I was basically lazy to write anything. I have no real reason why I haven't shared my thoughts. A lot has happened since the last time, I have finally finished school, I got a job and basically I am becoming an adult. That is something I really do not feel I want to be; an adult. It is not the best life I must say. There are bills to pay, there are co-workers to deal with, there are groceries to buy and worst of all I have to go to bed early so I can wake up early to go to work. Why am I torturing myself in this way? I love my job. It is a weird thing to say in a world where people are constantly complaining about their work and life. I enjoy what I do and how I touch lives. As a child I was facinated by electricity. I wanted to know where it came from, how it was made and why we depended so much on it. My facination has not died, in fact every time I pass a high tension transmission line I become happy. Something so magnificient can kill in...

I'm back

Image
I have not written for a long time. My excuse is that I have been busy. The truth is, I do not know what to write. Several things have happened in the past months I have not written. I went home i.e. Nigeria and came back, I have finished my programming and hoping to complete my thesis soon, and I have also made new friends. I must say I have a better rapport with my supervisor now. I do not know if he is glad I am finally leaving or if he is really making an effort to have a better understanding of me. I stand out in my study group because I have refused to let what I study define what wear or eat or say. I have refused to look like all those women engineers that put on only a pair of jeans and a t-shirt with boots. I wear heels, use make up, wear skirts and I even let my hair down sometimes. The picture is how I look today. I felt gorgeous and I thought to myself, why don't I look it? I promise I am back to writing about MY THOUGHTS
