Hope you feel better now.
I’m half envious, half sad that you’ll be going home soon. Envious because i miss home! , sad because i will miss reading your experiences at SIUE I think grad school’s a great idea though – come and join us. lol.

And that guy Gaddaffi, whoever called him a madman is sooo on point! Pschew!

I agree! These bureaucratic requirements and stipulations are so frustrating.

At least, they could pay for your ticket if they require you to fly back.

Thank you Clarissa,
I’ll pursue the grad school option. But I should grumble because if not for the mandatory stipulation that I should return home after the programme, I could save the cost of flying back to the US from Nigeria again and use it for something more productive, right?

So yes, I’m looking forward to the mosquitoes, the noisy bus rides and the really intrusive strangers. On the other hand, there is Sophie, pepper soup, Suya, UI, family, cousins and a few other adventures.

And why are you looking forward to Nigeria? I myself am happy to see Yemi, Jolaade, your mom and many other dear friends again. But when I think of those roads, the mosquitoes and all those strangers that can’t keep their distance …
