I am a uni student and I have been at home for 3 months, eating, sleeping, repeating chores, errands and the cycle continues, on Monday the strike was extended to an extra 3 months 馃槱.
These pictures were taken in my room by me, the person next to me is my roommate Ruth, I miss her and the rest of my roommates, we've created lots of memories together.
COOKING EXPERIENCE 馃構
I remembered a weekend we all spent together, it was a Saturday we were in our mid semesters and we were so broke (in my country not having enough money at a period of time is referred to as being broke), we were so hungry and all we wanted was to eat, we don't eat or even cook together prior to this, we just respected our space. We started asking each other what we had in our wardrobe that we could use to prepare a meal, and we ended up preparing Spaghetti with Tomato sauce, it tasted so nice... Within the next few minutes we made the meal and forgot we were even hungry 馃槀.
This cooking created a bond amongst us, we learnt that we could eat together and still respect each others boundaries.
BOLE FESTIVAL
We started going out together during weekends, BOLE is a meal prepared by roasting yam, plantain, potatoes, fish garnished with a pepper sauce, We had a big field where some chefs came to show off their skills in preparing Bole, some activities are held in my school during weekends because those are the only times, we could be free from studies, Myself and Ruth attended this festival we had so much fun together. I lost clips from that day but the memories remains.
Schooling in general is not just about the knowledge we're there to get from our books, I believe there's more to learn like; Adjusting and compromising, Spirit of team work, Respect and Self-respect, and the value of sharing.
The Federal Government and ASUU (The union in charge of university bodies) are to hold a meeting today, I really hope the issue is resolved and we're permitted to resume schools, so I can see my roommates again because I really miss them.
Thanks for reading my blog 馃槉
See you next time.
