Another week... of moving...

I will be spending my summer in New York and I have had to move my stuff twice already, it really sucks! I will be in there in June, July and part of August before I move to Europe. Only God knows how things will play out, I am already tired of everything. Sometimes I regret the choice I made to move away from home... I just got a job for the summer, it starts on Monday and I am quite nervous, I feel so small and a bit inadequate for the job... okay, I have to stop whining now!


About the Switzerland wahala, its being sorted out right now... phew! I have already started to look for an apartment and to gather information on the getting my resident permit... I really hope everything works! I definitely have a wild and free spirit (I like to tell myself so...hehe) I can't seem to stay in one place for a long time... I think I got that from my mother, she is always traveling, exploring new places and making new experiences.

My daddy is really stubborn oh! He not only still eats meat and other unhealthy foods late at night, I caught him sipping some red wine yesterday night! I feel like shaking him to make him see the importance of his health over the instant gratification of food and drink! He promised to play "squash" 3 times a week and take the stairs for his health... I hope he really does, in fact, I will send spies to watch him closely : ) and of course my mummy with nag him endlessly until he gets back into shape!

blasted day : (

I am just getting accustomed to this whole blogging experience. This is like a diary for me, a place where I can leave my thoughts and revisit them later (and wonder what the hell I was thinking when I wrote them down!)... Anyway, I have been having quite the time reconciling the differences between three or four different places I live and school in. My family lives in Nigeria (we sort of live all over the place, I just finished four years of college in the US and in Canada (two years in the US and the other two in Quebec). I am currently heading to Switzerland (Geneva to be precise) to further my education. I have had an interesting experience so far, I wonder what awaits me in Geneva!


Currently, I am dealing with the difficulty in communication, lack of organization and laxity of things in Switzerland and poor customer service, it's really annoying! My application process to a school there went well but after that, things have been rather hectic and unclear! Apparently, they need original copies of my secondary school transcript (I went to secondary school in Nigeria), I only have photocopies of the transcript and my secondary school requires my personal collection of the original document. Why in the world aren't they satisfied with stamped photocopies??? It will cost me over $2000 to travel to Nigeria to get my transcript and that in my opinion is too much!!! They also asked for a bunch of other random things that I have no idea how to access before the deadline... this is poop!!! I wish communication was not so difficult...arrrrrghhhhhh!!!

Life!!!

I just heard that my father had a stroke back home in Nigeria... he is only 50 years old!!! I feel so scared!!! It was a mild stroke but still it made me think about the possibility that I might not hear his voice or see him again. I have already lost so many family members and I am not ready for another loss. I and my siblings are going to fight this as much as we can, no more red meat or alcohol for you Daddy!!! We are going to ensure that we do all we can to keep him healthy! I feel so bad because I am always away from home instead of being there for family... I prayed hard to God to preserve my family, we have been through a lot of bad times but we have weathered it all together, it is time to enjoy, sickness and death cannot come and mess things up!!! I am pray things will be fine with my baba's health and with everything!!!

I don't know if I am ready for all of that! I honestly do hate growing older every year! I wish I could remain a carefree kid living with my siblings and friends and parents... now I have to make choices that are going to change the direction of my life! Oh well... okay this sucks, why the hell am I listening to corny and depressing music as I write this post? I have to stop!!! Anyways, happy birthday to me!!! :)
