Hey guys, I
know right. I have been such a runaway diva. Popping in once in a while and
keeping you all hanging…. I am so sorry but I know you guys understand. It has
been somethingelse here. I thought I could handle all the pressure of coming back to
school after a long while because I was already doing a post graduate course in
Nigeria but boy was I wrong. The amount of photocopies and books that we have
to read and the writing of essays as our assessment is amazing. Everything is
write thousand words here, 3 thousand words there. Very soon they would hit us with the big
one…..10,000 words dissertation…..God help me!!
Before I go
to the main issue of today’s post, guess what guys…..MY ARTICLE GOT PUBLISHED
IN MY SCHOOL’S BLOG!!! Whoop! Whoop!! Whoop!!! #dancingetighi….lol. Actually if
you follow my facebook page and instagram page you would know that it got
published a while ago but I have been too busy to tell you guys here. I am so
sorry……
And please
when you read remember to comment. Did I say comment? I meant PLEASE COMMENT,
COMMENT, COMMENT AND COMMENT. I would love to write for the school blog again
and only you guys can make it happen so……please comment…..pretty
please….#thankya
So even with
all the mountain load of articles, books, notes and assignments, a girl still
need to have fun…right? What is the point of travelling thousand of miles from home only
to be locked up in the house. So the plan until almighty exams come around or
the full blown ice block weather (aka winter) comes around, is that the diva would be going
to NON EXPENSIVE okay let me say it CHEAP! YES, CHEAP!! fun, adventurous places
once a week. Don’t laugh at me o, the girl is watching every penny…..I can’t
afford to be dead broke here. That won’t be funny. And seeing as I have been
unable to get a job yet, we got to watch the pocket.
Where did I
go to? GOOSE FAIR….Yaaaayyyyyy! I know what you are thinking….Nope, there was
no geese (or is it goose?)......let me consult the oracle of google…. Google
says Geese….. Anyway Goose fair is a fair that holds for a period of five days every
september/October and it is basically an amusement park.
You cannot
imagine how excited I was to know about it. I have missed going to amusement
parks. Not necessarily because of the rides but because of the cotton candy aka
candy floss *coversmyfaceandruns. So a couple of my friends/classmates, my
flatmates and I set out in this ever increasingly cold weather (honestly these
people need to pray and ask God to send some real good sun to them. They need
it, I need it!) for some gravity defying fun. Actually they were the ones
interested in messing with nature, me I was just fine with eating my candy floss.
You should
have seen the big bag of cotton candy I got…..I didn’t eat it all o (don't begin
to scream). I shared it with my friends but I did get to eat a sizeable amount.
My flatmate remembered that the cotton candy was remaining when we left the fair
the next day and she asked me what happened to it. What do you think?
#lipssealed
Anyway as we
approached the fair grounds, the guys said they were going to try some of the
outrageously looking, vomiting inducing, heart removing rides and I told them
NOT ME AND YOU!! I am not insane enough to enter those rides.
I would
rather stick to safe looking ones. Imagine being hoisted up to about the height
of a 20 storey building and then something swinging you like a shot put hamstring (I hope that
is what that bell and chain thing is called) that a shot put athlete does just
because I want to have fun. No way o, my family did not send me here for such
rough play. No way! I told them that I was not going on the rides even if I was
paid to enter. What of if one screw loosens when you are up in the air….nope, not
going ever.
Anyway my
flatmate tried some of the death defying rides (girl has got some stamina) and
the guys tried only one of the rides and they were terrified. They vowed not to
enter any of such rides again (I am still laughing at the memory of their faces
when they came down from the ride). They said that at one point on the ride
they gave up and were prepared to meet their God….In other words they were
ready to die……..lol. Who sent them message…..mtssshhheeewwww…..Chickens….hahaha
So what did
this chicken aka me enter? I decided to enter a ride that was like half a
circle and spun around because at least it looked less dangerous and it was on
solid ground. My mistake!! The ride was crazy. I noticed that some men (staff)
were on the ride in between the different seats but I had no idea what they
were doing. Only for me to realise that not only does the ride itself spin but
the guys also gave the seats a good 'out of this world' spin. So it is like……I don’t know how to explain it
but it was crazy. At a point I started praying for the ride to stop, I was so
over it. When I realised what the staff were up to, I begged one not to spin
the seats again. I was THROUGH!!
I couldn’t
get my bearing for some minutes after the ride ended…..what was that? The rides
were crazy and I just realised that people had serious guts entering rides like they were paid to do so. Since everyone was
fed of messing with their lives, we walked around and I tried my hands on
throwing darts. I thought I could win a minion teddybear……well I ended up
making the stall owners richer because I super flunked at it….#sadface #mymoney
All in all, it was a fun night and I am glad we went there. So that is all guys….my adventure at the goose fair. I think it is time for me to go. I hope to write more frequently. I am drafting a blog posting time table that I hope i can adhere to.
I
need to go and take care of my swollen lips. Apparently I am allergic to an
orange juice I bought in a supermarket. I don’t know how I can be allergic to
orange juice! The other time I had a swollen lip, I ate a sugar free cookie
that I bought for my mom. I am beginning to think I am allergic to healthy
foods…..lol.
Thanks for stopping
by and please remember to check out my post for my school.
Luv ya,
Petite Diva…..
