~Hi ppl, hope your week is going good so far, I have managed to be late to work  every day this week and don’t know if it will change before the week is up, I just can’t get myself to get out of bed before 7 even though my alarm is set for 6! Oh well they will all be alright in my office!

I just remembered an embarrassing but funny story from primary school that I just had to share with you; it had me cracking up at my silliness this morning. I believe this happened in primary 2 during our final exams.

I don’t remember what subject but Brainy like me, have to toot my own horn naa, (make myself feel better for the sheer stupidity about to happen), had finished the exam early and was feeling so sure about it that after double checking went to hand in my paper to the teacher. Of course she sent me back to my desk because you were not allowed to go out of the classroom until exam was over, you know how the teachers used to send tell you to go and sleep, so I proceeded to sleep or daydream or something..anyway a good amount of time went by and the teacher said “PENCILS UP, PASS YOUR PAPER FWD!” , so I wake up from sleep and I start freaking out, guess why, hahahahahahahahaha! because I could not find my paper, I STUPIDLY forgot that I had handed my paper and proceeded to search everywhere for it, all sorts of thoughts ran through my mind, “who is the thief that stole my paper?”, “did it fly somewhere and I didn’t notice it”, “where the heck could it be??”, but obviously I tried not to seem frantic to the teacher who probably didn’t even notice me since I handed it earlier.

So you know what Abeni Troubledeysleep does?? There was a boy sitting next to me so I took his paper and erased his name and wrote mine buhahahaha and then passed it forward to submit it. My ppl isn’t that real “trouble dey sleep, yanga (or Olodo as Chari J said) go wake am” behavior??? The boy sef was not sharp, how will someone take your exam and you wouldn’t report? Although I wouldn’t lie I felt relieved after all I won’t get zero on the exam.

So trust that my mum got called to school after the exams where marked because for some weird reason Abeni had 2 exams, one with perfect score, remember I said I was a brainy naa (shey you see am not an olodo) and another with almost zero, not me lai lai and ofcourse they did investigation to see how I had been doing in school overall, they also took a look at the handwriting, some CSI stuff going on, hehehe. So ofcourse I had to confess what I did and what was the number one punishment of primary school?? Write lines 100 times….. I will never ever take someone else’s paper and write my name on it!

Hope this brought some laughter to your day; it sure did bring to mine! ~

~I really really really can't wait for the next stage of my life to begin, you know that feeling you get when you graduate college and can't wait to get a job to begin "real" life, well now got the job (which is just kewl but a bit too routine for me...we can call it blah for now) and its like ok what next? I mean you know when before you graduate and you are interviewing or someone asks you what your 5 yr plan is and you give this text book definition dreams of what you would accomplish and come to find out well for me 1 yr and 9 months in that errrr its not really going as I thought it would.

 See my first couple of months out of college I was just enjoying my life spending money, having fancy lunches, I work right btw several stores so I spent my lunch breaks not window shopping anymore but actually buying more clothes and shoes which are currently collecting dust in my closet better still waiting for my mum to come ship them to naij can you imagine what else I could have done with all the money I spent on those things?? I mean it was like not earning $300 every 2wks was like a miracle to me, so why not gbadun a lil bit. 

So that phase quickly ran its course, REALITY set in given that I of course now had responsibilities of paying those annoying things called Bills..don’t we all wish they would just disappear into thin air and then slowly but surely I could see my life falling into the ROUTINE. Wake up, get ready for work, go to work, come back from work, eat dinner and go to sleep. Occasionally going to a friends shin ding, the days of random clubbing went out the window once school was out (ok I lied, I still did have fun but it was always in spurts..on and off periods..winter time was def off! too cold).

 The ROUTINE of course is now the ongoing life I have right now, plus a boyfriend so that always spices things up (I love you A)  and oops did I forget to mention debt also, nooo not from all those clothes and shoes..but from taking a big deal of risk which I lost L..we’ll save that for a different post…only if I could sell the clothes and shoes to contribute to the payment.

 Least to say I am currently living the average American life (the debt is the icing on the cake abi) and am tired of it, so the question is of course what the hell is next?? Well for one I have decided that I am going to business school after much tossing and turning, I was fortunate to have studied what I loved in undergrad and grad but now it’s time to mix it with what would bring me the real MULA…cool cash and I want to do this next year.. at least I’ve got that figured out but its like ok, so why cant it happen this moment and remove me from this dulling americoco life for now.  Like it’s always said patience is the key so for now I will just continue with my routine, while steadily putting plans in place, GMAT to conquer first…blehhhhh!~
