So I was supposed to update yesterday. What the heck happened? It has been quite a while since I missed an update. I knew I was due to update, and I just kept telling myself that I had to update, but somehow, the day just went by, and before I knew it, it was midnight, and Tuesday was upon me.
I don’t quite have much to say. Either that, or I actually do have a lot to say but have not organized my thoughts in a way that will be coherent to you. I think the latter is the case. The point is that right now, I will have to leave you high and dry – almost – but not completely. Too much has been going on, and there has been so little time to have it all written down. In the mean time in between time, here’s a picture from an Island carnival I attended on Sunday in downtown Miami. Was my first carnival. Never seen so many people go buck wild. Nawa oo. What’s funnier and crazier is that I was told (by our friend from Trinidad & Tobago) that the carnival in downtown Miami was small compared to the real one in Trinidad. What?!?! And apparently, that one is wilder too. Whew. Doubt if you’ll be seeing me there anytime soon. I’ve always known that there is so much life and culture that I am yet to experience, but attending this carnival just made it even more obvious.
This girl was a very determined dancer. She just kept on going like the energizer bunny.
A bunch of paraders.
I’ll be back to update. This time, I’ll be on time. Promise.
P.S. Someone wanted information about Okechukwu Ofili’s scholarship website info. I asked Okechukwu, and this is the website he gave me www.chaynge.org Hope this helps! If not, let me know. I’ll be happy to help in whatever way I can.

Hi Linda, hope u ve been good, seem u had fun at dis carnival oh. i was gonna call in on sat but i slept off. I think Ekene was right in his arguement and i decided to share with very one. i had dis friend back in OAU, we used to call her big sis, cos she was way older and all.she started dating a master's stu in her 1st yr in OAU n dated for 6yrs, plus ASUU strike and all, he already proposed n promised to wait until she graduated b4 dey got married n weddin nite vow. she said once in a blue moon he wld ask for sex and she wld remind him of his promise to wait, until wen he called her one dy in her final yr and demanded sex or call off d wedding. she said she seeked advise frm a couple of pple and after everythin she was like" watever, its just some 8 to 9months to d wedding and she lost her virginity to him, she said dey had sex 2 or more times after until a wk to her 1st semester 4th yr exam wen he called her and called off deir relationship, dat he doesnt think dey re compatible. she fainted n missed out 2 session cos she was in d hosipital for a long time. she was 27 wen she told my friend n i dis story n i was just 17. and her advise was, you shld rather keep it till dat night dan stand d chance of him tastin n hoppin to d next opened legs.
Even wen guys commit to us, i guess we shld pray he's d rite person b4 we do anythin..xoxo
