Didn't Feel So Much Like A Holiday.

The holiday is finally over and everyone is back to the work or school lifestyle. No matter how much enjoyment there was in the holiday, it will always come to an end. Holidays are necessary in every organisation as it helps to create time for retreat, reminisce, to rest, to reflect on self.

Well for me, I didn't have much of an holiday because I was in school through out the holiday: I couldn't travel home because of my final year field project work. It's about assigning students to breed certain animals right from infancy to maturity. I was assigned to Guinea fowl and these and my supervisor refused to allow any of us his supervisee to travel because he just doesn't want us to. I went to farm on January 2nd and 5th as well, crazy part was that my department fixed a test on January 3rd and that kinda ruined the holiday because everyone was preparing for the test. We should not have anything to do with books during the holidays.

Sincerely, I didn't really feel the holiday because I was still involved with some school activities. For the days I didn't go to school during the holidays I was at home and I was just weak even when I didn't do anything. The only thing about the holiday was that I was able to get some rest off the usual school activities.

School activities for we finalist resumed immediately on the 3rd of Jan because every final year student has a project work to do. Then we started preparing for examination and now, we have started examination. At first, it felt unreal that we would be starting examination because I didn't feel the pressure until a day to the first paper which was animal statistics. I knew nothing about the calculations so I had to meet a female friend who taught me about 90% of the calculations. It was quite a lot for me because I have to memorise the formulas and know when and how to use them. I had no choice but to stay up all night with the help of an energy drink, beans and garri😂. The energy drink Fearless did a great job as I was not able to find sleep at all.

I had sat for my second exam today and preparing for another one tomorrow morning. Right now I'm off to get that energy drink again as I write this post. I can't afford not to be prepared for a 3 unit departmental course. The course is about genetics, functions and structure of DNA and RNA, the nucleotides and how they code and initiate transcriptions and replications. This night I have to learn the codon table and structures of the nucleotides. Switching to usual lifestyle is quite stressful because these sleepless nights makes me super tired during the day and other activities has to wait till I get some rest and regain energy to be locked in. But the preparation can't be avoided because I want A's in all my courses. I can't wait to be done with examination and have some time to rest again.
