Back when I was in school, I had a radio show for almost two years. It was one of the most exhilarating activities I engaged in while on campus, right up there with Spoken Heart. It was something I got interested in when one of my friends invited me as a guest on her show, called Universal Vybes, when her guest for that day cancelled. I had a great time. Afterwards, she let me know of just how easy it was to get a show on the station. In fact the head of the station encouraged as many students as possible to apply.

It’s the first day of school for me, I’ve been here every day for a week but this is what I’m counting as my first day in that I’ll be fully settled down. It’s taken almost a week to get a room. Things in school have been, as my dad is sometimes fond of saying, ELEPHANT.

Our VC, in his infinite wisdom accepted to admit 3500 freshmen. He not only admitted them but he also decided to house them on campus never mind that we don’t have nearly enough beds to house them and us the over probably 8000 students who were to join them a week after. Most of the opening week was spent running about campus scrambling for a meagre number of rooms left (according to the lottery that we had there we only under 600 beds left).

I’m back in school now after a 4 month long holiday so I thought this would be the best time to reflect on what I’ve been up to and achieved. Looking back, I feel this has been one of my more productive holidays; of course as at the end of the holiday I don’t think I’ve achieved as much as I should have in that amount of time but for the first time that doesn’t bother me as much as it usually would.
