Aproko(pinko)

Today was my first day of lectures (six weeks ago)
I found it different but intriguing. I'm beginning to understand more why people send their kids to study in the UK. This is not a publicity stunt but my award leaders actually make 2 hours seem like 30 minutes. Seriously, that is interesting!

Osoufia Moments 1


If you've read some of my previous blogs you'll know that my friend with the name of a horror movie can fall prey to Osoufia moments.
She told me this incidence that will have you laughing your ribs into cracks I promise...

OYO (on your own)

Today (27/09) I realized that I was already behind in my academics, WHAT???!
I can't even ask how this happened because I'll then have to blame my academic background from Nigeria but that will mean I was inattentive during the extensive 2 week orientation process.

Ya'anga

Just stumbled on a song I don't like because i believe for that artist it was disappointing and it brought to mind my initial reaction to the way people dress up around here or should I say dress down
I have decided to write about fashion as I see it all around me
It must be because I am Nigerian that I can't seem to grasp the fashion here
I have seen all sorts and so I have come to the conclusion that there probably isn't a way to describe the way people dress up in these parts
So many people can't be wrong at the same time or can they?
It must be about the style of the individual which is no style a lot of times
Before you Judge me, I'm not a style icon but I try to include sanity in my choices and follow pattern and design rules as much as possible
I'm tempted to give up on colour all together because I seem to be among the few who consider hues and shades
I must complement the varied choices of jackets and boots

Two interesting things have happened to me today (your today, my two weeks ago)
One; lost my apartment
Two; found a Nigerian restaurant and Malta Guinness
Got into school early enough to go tour the library as a typical Nigerian I didn't know where to swipe my card to get into the library and afterwards how to leave, phew! Thank goodness, the British is polite
Now I'm seated opposite a nigerian lady named after a horror movie
Drinking with great pleasure my Malta Guinness and smiling like one that has found great spoil and swaying to Sarah Grooves "You are Beautiful"
