i feel like i haven't posted here in years. although it was only a few weeks ago.......Anyways, a lot has gone on since then.I went for the FYP award thing which was cool. Met some amazing people. Have also tried to do loads of schoolwork (although some with fail...gosh, i really should get writing a certain politics essay that was due some several ages ago). I'm on half term now, which is a great plus, and my friends cane down from manchester to stay with me for the weekend which was... Read Full Story
I spent two days....two days!!!....just getting from my house back to Cheltenham last weekend. I don't have ages to put in all the details but basically it was one horrible journey, i tell you. To be honest, after getting my oyster card lost and far too many other disappointments on the first day, I went back home. Thank God for my lovely sister who was there. So i went back to school late, left on Monday morning, and then I was stranded at Swindon for FOUR hours!!!!! At first, for a whil... Read Full Story
It's been far too long. School has been up to my neck lately and I haven't got much time to do anything, but now I'm home resting for the weekend as it's exeat. I say resting, but in truth I'm preparing a talk and handout for "Marxist Contribution to the Economy", a presentation which I am giving on Monday with an 'oh so wonderful' girl in my year. She actually is literally the perfect person- a friendly, pretty genius!!!! But I can't see how I'm ... Read Full Story
I regret my hesitation now about school....indeed these first few day have been wonderful!!!It was lovely to see all my friends again, it was exciting to discuss results *wink wink* ...well, apart from my economics UMS which I (still in shame) haven't told anyone, it's been great making new friends with the new lower sixths in my boarding house, it's been amazing to hear 'some certain persons' actually speak to me- regardless of the fact that they got more or less no reply...

OK, so it's several months away....so? The only thing I can think about at the moment is this December.I went to church today. I'm Christian, I should say, and thus regularly perform this genre of action, so it wasn't anything weird or anything.Trouble is I'm sort of....kinda...(well....despite the fact that I was born here, and school here, and spend most of my time here now) I AM an international student. Meaning home is actually Nigeria. And I go back there in the holidays.... Read Full Story
Last night, my family went to see "Wicked".It is a rather amazing show, we wanted to see it in Broadway whilst in New York a few days ago, but we couldn't get tickets. So, last night we were out and about in the West End.Our seats were so high up by the way, I could practically touch the ceiling in the Apollo theatre....well to be honest they weren't that bad, but in the darkness I felt I was going to topple over the twenty eight million people seated in front of me to my de...

What could it possibly take from you to take another step, to walk- wisely and slow, for they stumble that run fast. What could you possibly lose?The ground is beneath you; the rough, damp surface of the earth gritting its teeth beneath your feet...and an expanse of darkness lies before you. Like a wide-mouthed cave, it calls out to you, this darkness. It calls out, softly, calls you by your first name. A voice so familiar, yet so piercing. Sharp stainless steel lashes slice your skin with ea... Read Full Story
As many people in the UK will know, it was results day two days ago!And I am an A-Level student (AS level, actually) so I had reason to freak out.Nevertheless, I got the results and I am eternally pleased!!!FOUR A'S!! I couldn't have done better gradeswise, as I only do four subjects...but UMS-wise, I could. One of my UMS scores was sadly below 270/300, so I'm going to retake a unit or two. But nevertheless, straight A's sounds good in the ears, and I can still apply to Oxford... Read Full Story
God must know what he's doing. He must know why stars fade and volcanoes erupt. He must understand- when all efforts are weighed down by failure, he must understand. He must know, he must understand, he just has to.Maybe things are the way they are meant to be. Maybe these doubts and questions are a falter of mine. Do I dare and do I dare? Do I dare disturb the universe? Maybe if I could borrow the thoughts of T.S. Eliot for just one day, I might understand. I don't understand.I don&#... Read Full Story
