STORY TIME: THE TIME WHEN I WAS LEFT BEHIND

One of my biggest fault is that I am too naïve and try to believe the good in people. Hey guys, welcome to another story time post. Did you enjoy the last one? I hope you did. 

So let me dive right into the story. Everyone (okay, maybe not everyone but a large percentage) who goes to study abroad (especially the UK or USA) likes to stay back after their studies. But lately the rules concerning that in the UK is getting stricter and stricter by the day. One of the few ways to legally stay back is to get a job that pays at least £20,000/annum and that your employer must be one of the Tier 2 visa sponsor. Problem is that the UK govt has also put a clause that the employer must show that there is no other UK/EU nationality that can do your job (my research says otherwise but most employers seem to use this as a reason not to employ international students). 

MAGIC TRICK!!!! I AM BACK IN BLOGSPHERE

I am back.....With my Oily Face....lol

I know, right? Impossible to believe, right? But yes i am back. I don't know how frequent i would be in stepping into the blogsphere but i would definitely be stepping into here once in a while. Oh My God, i have missed you guys. I didn't realise how much i have missed writing until i started writing literally just now. It has been a crazy few months. You guys would not believe how crazy it has been.

This postgraduate journey has not been easy at all.....On many occasions, i have asked myself why  on earth did i put myself through this. I could have just stayed with my previous status quo but noooooo this 'Petite diva' likes to give herself some epic stress (some would say challenge). Oh well, i have finished my course work so that means i am already about 3/4 through this journey so i might as well stick with it (like i have any choice, right?). Classes are over so it is crunch time with my dissertation and my supervisors are like breathing down my neck but it is all good. I just wish they would allow me to flex a little without feeling guilty about my workload.

WHY DO I WANT A POSTGRADUATE DEGREE?

What I wore to church......the jacket is by my side o, I no fit freeze.

Hello guys (I seem to be saying Hello…#fakebritishaccent a lot lately, apparently saying good morning or good afternoon is too formal or weird…..#nathemsabi), how have you been? I have been good today. My lip swelling has reduced and I read my first READING in church today……Yaaaaay!! 

For those who don’t understand what reading in church means, let me explain. Usually in Anglican churches (and some other churches) there are about 2-3 bible passages that would be read at various intervals before the sermon is preached during a service. They are usually passages that the sermon would be based on (most of the time, sometimes the sermon is based on a different passage). And the readers have to come to the pulpit to read the verses. In my home churches, there are two pulpits: the small pulpit and the big one.

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……

ADVENTURES IN NOTTINGHAM: THACKARY MEDICAL MUSEUM….

Magic School Bus....

We are going on a field trip……yaaayy! Now let us get on the magic school bus……ta da tad a….we are on the magic school bus….cross the river of love, come on the magic school bus, the magic school bus…..#singinganddancing….. 

Hey guys, I just remembered one of the cartoons I used to watch and love. It was called the 'Magic school bus' (I think). The teacher had a magic school bus and they used to go on field trips that would teach them about science. Sometimes they would shrink so small and enter someone’s blood stream to teach them about the blood system. One episode they entered the water purifying system of the water works to learn about the ways water is purified and how it gets to their taps.

Well my course coordinator/lecturer took my classmates and I on a field trip too….yaay. But sadly she doesn’t have any magical powers so no magic school bus for us…..#wailing. I want a magic school bus ride too……..#wailingandrollingonthefloor……lol
