Journal #8: August 2015

Welcome to September. We are now in the “mber” months, which means one thing: Christmas is almost here AND we are about to enter a new year. Didn’t 2015 just start yesterday? Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to all that God has in store for me and my family. August was interesting for me. I didn’t make the power career moves I hoped to make, nor did I do anything news-worthy (in my opinion). I wish I had the same kind of news I had in July for you: attended another BlogHer conference, Read More

If Balaam Was Nigerian (And His Donkey Talked)

Igwe and I are still reading the bible and trying to know God better. Currently, we're in the first book of Samuel. We have not gone as far as we should have because for a couple of weeks, we slacked. I cannot speak for Igwe, but for me, I wish I was a better child of God. I'm disappointed in how many times I dishonor Him in a day. But for now, let's focus on the humor I find in the bible. I especially love comparing some of these stories to the characters being Nigerian. Today, we're looking at Read More

Rude Party Guest — Or Was I Overreacting?

This is something that happened at this year's BlogHer conference. I just kind of forgot to blog about it. On the first day (Thursday), that was when the ice-breaking parties happened in the evening. For me, the first conference day is usually just for fun and nothing serious. Anyway, I attended one of the parties of that night, which was the Multi-Culti party. It's supposed to celebrate influencers of different cultures. I got there about an hour after it started and I didn't know anyone Read More

I’m Not A Doctor, And Daddy Isn’t Over It Yet

Both of my parents are medical doctors, and I am very proud of them. Not only did they go to medical school, but they also did it in a foreign land and in a foreign language (Russia/Russian). I took Microbiology, Chemistry, and Anatomy & Physiology I and II in college and it was no walk in the park --- and it was all in English, although it often felt like Latin. So for my parents, I salute them. Oh, and they both did it on scholarships - something they never fail to remind me. When I was Read More

Journal #7: July 2015

Welcome to August. I was anxiously waiting for July to be over, so I'd be able to gist you about it. July was quite exciting for me. Apart from the heat, which has been a thorn in my flesh, I'd say that July has been a pretty darn good month. Speaking of July - AKA the hottest month of the summer - my air conditioner wasn't working properly and I didn't know it. We were both hot and sweating, but we both thought it wasn't maintaining the cool temperature because it was so hot Read More
