UNDER PRESSURE

Hey peeps! longest time. How have you all been? I hope all is well with y'all. Everything is fine here but sometimes i do get depressed but i know God will make things better if i keep trusting him.

Pressure! Pressure!! pressure!!! A lot of us have felt pressure in different circumstances. Those of you working in IPML will understand what pressure is (constantly having to proof yourself and your worth) and you wonder when it will end. The thing is that, it will never end and the best thing to do is not to have allowed yourself get in that situation in the first place. In this life, you have to try not to put yourself under any kind of pressure, do what you have to do and if no one notices your efforts God does and trust me, the ultimate reward is better than a short term thing.

I have been under a lot of pressure lately; pressure to get all my assignments done quickly (this is my fault kinda, i piled everything until now but i'm not worried), pressure to stay beautiful (as most of you know, i never marry yet so there is pressure to stay fit and beautiful until some dude sweeps me off my feet...i hope soon cos the pressure is too much oh...lol), pressure to look good (it is quite tasking having to wear heels out all the time cos u never know whom you might meet. I am constantly putting a lot of effort in my dressing which means i'm spending 'ego' like crazy but sensibly...lol). Like i said, all these pressures would have been avoided if i didnt start in the first place. The other day, i was coming back from church and met this chick who was in Law School with me (Mobola, the 'oh my God girl during NYSC'). The girl was a babe in school and has kept the trend here in Jand. She was looking really good...i mean her hair was great, she had skinny jeans and white boots on, contacts in her eyes and some fake accent to match. The first thing i did was thank God that i was looking smashing as well (apart from my hair though...i still have the braids i did in naija). I know i sound crazy but the moment i left her, i entered the nearest optician and now i have an appointment for contact lens fitting (PRESSURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

So i got to know my housemate well, she is a nice person (even though she thinks i'm not because i make fun of people and dont associate that much) but she talks too much. When she talks like that, i switch into 'la la' mode... you know, you start singing tunes in your head but you keep smilling and laughing to show interest (i do that to my sister most times). She is intelligent as well...infact, everyone i've been in contact with are very intelligent people and i want to beleive that i am as well. Well she is really nice and i'm glad she is my housemate. Oh she bought her own Laptop so i'm enjoying my privacy again...lol!

So Glasgow has been very cold... sorry, let me re-phrase that. Glasgow has been extremely freezingly cold as the freezer in hamattan. I am constantly going out with my gloves, scarf around the neck etc. I only go out when it is very necessary if not, i stay home and enjoy the warmt of my beautiful bedroom. The time was shifted backwards so we are and hour behind nigeria. This to me is illogical because it gets dark by 4pm...like now, it is just after 5pm but it is as dark as 8pm. Well, i guess i'm not a geologist or weather scientist so i wouldnt know why they have pushed the time back instead of forward.

So Bigbrother ended last week with Richard winning. I was so gutted because i wanted the Nigerian housemate (Ofunneka) to win. She was very nice and tolerated alot in the house. Oh well, i guess now that Richard has won $100,000, his wife will forgive him of all his cheating with Tatiana and i also hope Tatiana's boyfriend will be like Code's girlfriend and forgive her of all her atrocities in the house.

I gotta go now, i have a presentation tomorrow and i also have to start reading up on what i'm going to write in my assignment. Take care y'all and i wish you all the best. Have a nice week ahead... luv you all.

Ciao!
