MY WEEK IN ONE
Hello everyone,
It's been a while since I posted, but I'm here now.
I haven't really posted the past few days, but while not posting, I was getting my phone full with all type of activity photos, nature photos, etc. So today, I'm going to be sharing with y'all mostly in photos, how my days looked like last week.
Last week, I didn't really get enough time to do many other stuff other than school activities, because I go to school from Tuesday to Saturdays from morning to evening. So when I come back from school, I'm usually very exhausted, and so I need to do some minor stuff and rest in preparation for the next day.
So what I did every day last week while working to school was, I captured some nature photos such as sunrise (mostly sunrise 🌄)
And at times, I also snap some fruit if I see one that is ripe. Even though it is very rare for me to find, given the fact that we are experiencing the dry season right now, which makes some fresh and ripe fruits hard to find. How ever, when I was going to school on Wednesday, I passed by my aunt's house to get some of my stuff. And fortunately for me, the guava tree that I didn't expect to have any fruit on it, had bared a very fat and fresh guava.
As soon as I saw it, I couldn't resist so I immediately had the first bite of it which felt so good lol...
It was only after I had chewed up the first bite, that I remembered that I had to wash the guava before eating. But what could I have done ??? The deed was already done.
So I jumped down of the tree, and continued my journey to school. When I finally reached school classes started.
As for school, I won't bore y'all with all the theories of it, but let's get to the practical and interesting parts. So on Tuesday, I didn't really have any practical thing to do in school, so most of it was just about theoretically stuff, which pushes us to Wednesday where the real deal begins
On Wednesday, we had some Chemistry practicals in the lab 🧫🧪
This practical session was I and my classmates first Chemistry practicals of the school academic year, so we were really excited to be in the Chemistry lab.
During this time in the lab, we didn't really do something too beautiful, because we were still being thought by our instructor how to use some equipments.
Our Chemistry lab is not really the best, but at least it serves us well.
During the practical session, we were taught how to;
- Use a Pipette and how to Pipette
- Use the Burette
- Use the Clamp and Stand,
- And some few other things
The liquid we used for th practicals was H2O (Water) only, since it was our first time and we were still trying to get used to the equipments.
After Chemistry Practicals
After the Chemistry practicals, I headed back to class and had a little theory of another subject (Computer Science), which ended up with us in the computer lab.
When we got to the computer lab, the electric power had some issues, so we had to wait till it comes back. So all the machines were completely off.
After some time, we regained electricity and started working on our exercises given to us by our instructor.
That was that for Wednesday
Remember I said above, that I'm not really going to bore you with all the theoretical things in school. So the next interesting day of practicals was, Friday. This time we had a physics practicals.
In the Physics lab, we did about three different experiments. But one of the most interesting ones for me was, getting the diameter and thickness of an object using a Micro Screw Gauge. So in our Lab manual, we were asked to measure the diameter of some equipments such as;
- A test tube
- A round ball
- A thermometer etc.
And the thickness of;
- The lab table
- A ledger 📒 etc.
I really enjoyed the Physics practicals time together with my mates
The next practical day that was supposed to come after Friday is Saturday, but unfortunately, our practical class was cancelled. But how ever, I have something for you 🙂
Saturday
Even though the practice class was cancelled, I saw a rare thing happening on the balcony of my class.
After sitting and studying inside the class for a very long time, I went outside to stand on the balcony and get some fresh air. After standing there for about two minutes, I looked at my right and saw to flies mating lol 😂
At first, I took the picture behind a bit, because I knew if I go closer, they might fly away, which will mean I disturbed their awesome moment together. So I had to zoom in and capture another one which will have a more closer view.
The two flies marked my last school day of the week, which was really amazing!!!
Without forgetting, the last and most faithful Day...
SUNDAY
Sunday the best day amongst all as usual. Church Service went well, I enjoyed the music I produced by my self through the gift God has given to me, and I enjoyed that people enjoyed my music too...!
The sermon of Sunday was about Laziness, which I believe transformed me a lot. "There's no way I have two legs and two hands, but yet I cry of hunger". That was the highest thing I caught in the sermon.
After church service, one of my elder sisters in church specifically in the choir, came and grabbed me and went outside so that we can take some pics together...
I know right,,, she's so short 😂 and I even called her my elder sister, but yet I look bigger than her 😂
She is such an amazing soul and very kind and loving in person ❤️... She always makes me do styles I don't think will work for me especially because of my height. She had to force this one on me 😅
After all the pictures, we then separated and went to our various homes. When I got home, I immediately changed into a more free dressing, and felt like taking some selfies with little sis ❤️
That is that for my week, and hope you enjoyed reading each and every part of this post
Have A Blast 🎉

Hello @princekeys! I noticed you just started following me so I thought I'd check out your posts and see who you are. I'm so glad I did!
Guess what? You're the first person I've ever 'met' from Cameroon. Yay!!! I'm excited because I like learning about the many cultures around the world and connecting with people from all walks of life.
In this post, I notice you're talking about school. Is that high school? Or some kind of university?
Wow @consciouscat, I so am amazed by this message from you ☺️🙌
I also noticed the amazing content you create, and I could just leave your account unfollowed!
It's such an honor for me to be your first Cameroonian person (or rather new friend 😊)!
Okay... Yeah I was actually talking about school, but it's a Highschool. I'll be moving to the university in about 1.5 years time 🙂🙏
🙌 Yay! Pleased to meet you 😄
I wanted to check with you about what kind of school you're at as I often find it hard to tell the exact ages of people from different cultures. I can't always tell if someone is a teenager or a young adult if they're as tall as an adult!
I find it the most difficult with people with any kind of Chinese heritage (or similar) as they look even more different again! It's all so interesting. I love people. We humans are fascinating, aren't we?
Glad you've been enjoying checking out my content. I'll have to make sure I keep writing good stuff! !LOL

Oh okay I see... I understand how hard it can be for you to detect the exact ages of people from different cultures, cause it happens to me sometimes too 😁. But what I can tell you is I am the fourth child of my Mum and Dad, but I am still taller than all of them (My Mum, Dad, and Siblings 😅...
I am about 18 years old now, and will be turning 19 on the 8th of March... Indeed us humans are so fascinating! Loving people is one of the ways of nature as a whole.
🤗🙏🙏
!LOL That's cool! My younger brother is the youngest in the family and he is also taller than all of us =)
Ah! I see. And what are you planning or hoping to do once you finish high school?

Guess that's what we get now our days 😅
Well, ever since I was growing up I've always had so much passion for computers and music as well. So what I plan to do after high school is;
I will specialize in Artificial Intelligence (The software part of it) in the University. Actually I'm someone who loves learning new things, and I also love learning them very fast 😁. So I've already been self-learning lots about software engineering (that is, AI engineering, Web Development, etc.)
My main focus is mostly AI, and Web Development. I really love the idea of creating websites and Web applications, so that's why I'm learning it too. But I'll have to specialize in Artificial Intelligence in the university.
Even though learning hasn't really been productive on my side, because I don't yet have a personal laptop 💻 of my own yet. I've tried to get one from time to time but my amount of money is never enough, so I usually end up using it for other school needs. So I have really been limited due to the absence of a laptop.
Getting a laptop now would be like a dream come true to me 😊
Sorry for the very long reply friend 😁😊🙏
Firstly, you never need to apologise for writing a long reply. Thank you for sharing about your plans and your passions. I was happy to read about them.
I think what I love the most about reading your reply is that it challenges the things I've been taught since childhood about Africa and people from Africa.
I love that I am a white 43 year old white woman in a rich country who has soooooooo much in common with an 18 year old black man in a poorer country. I was taught to think we were so different due to our age differences, our ethnicities, our countries of origin, our spiritual beliefs, etc. And yet, I see that you and I are so similar in so many ways.
We both love learning, a lot! We are both open minded and forward thinking and willing to challenge ourselves, by being on a platform like Hive. We both care about our family, a lot. We both have a belief in something bigger than ourselves. And we are both willing to dream beyond the current limitations of our lives.
I was also brainwashed into thinking that Africa (as an entire continent with no differences between countries!) is full of helpless, starving, poor people.
But every time I meet another person from another country in Africa who has studied at university and/or writes English as well as I do and/or can have high level conversations about psychology and other things that interest me, all while maintaining a job that feeds them well enough, I realise I've been taught a lie.
And when I read that you're going to study AI at uni (when I wasn't even sure if Cameroon had universities!) I am blown away. This is my own ignorance and it is WONDERFUL to have it challenged.
THIS is why I'm so excited to be on Hive and to meet people like you in countries I've never been to; I get to learn, first hand about people around the world and what their lives are REALLY like instead of the rubbish I'm fed through my society, media, etc.
Phew! Hopefully, this level of honesty was revealing and helpful, rather than upsetting! I think in countries similar to mine (English speaking, predominantly white people) will be full of people who also have a really limited, warped and out dated view of countries in Africa. So perhaps it's good to know how much we've been brainwashed. So if you meet people on here who aren't as friendly or encouraging, don't take it personally. They just haven't looked beyond their own subconscious programming!
Meanwhile, let's pray for a laptop for you! That sounds essential for your work. Hopefully, God can see that and I'm sure you'll take the necessary steps to help make that a reality.
Ahh you have spoken it all!!!
There is nothing more I could possibly add to all you have said, cause you have laid down pure facts 💯
How I wish many other people in countries similar to yours could see the conversation we have had so far, and finally get some little truth about Africa and its people...
I'm also very glad to see and know that we have so much in common! I believe with most people like you in your country and countries similar to yours, the world would be a place of Peace, Joy, Happiness, and so many other positive treasures.
I am also very glad and honored that I have helped as a learning point to you.
Just from your words in this response, it gives me a clue that you are a Christian. Seeing this makes me so happy! I'm a Christian too!
Believe me you are the first ever white person that I've ever spoken to so freely and honestly. I have a few white friends, but anytime I try to have an honest discussion, they bounce out. But now thanks to you I understand why most of them do that ( At least I know I can't blame them, because that's what they have been fed with about Africa)
Amen and Amen for the prayer concerning my laptop 🙏 . And of course I won't just sit and wait for it to happen, I'll have to work towards it 💯
May God equally grant whatever your heart is, just as he will do it for me too, Amen 🙏...
Ahhhh! Wonderful. I'm so glad you could receive my reply as I intended it.
I think there is a big difference between me and so many people here in Australia and in other so-called "Western" or "1st World" countries is that I have dived deeply into my own beliefs, pains and patterns. Most people don't know themselves very well. They don't know how much they've been brainwashed.
And they're very uncomfortable with challenging conversations. But I love digging into things that could help me grow and if the other person is too, then hallelujah!
Now, I must share, that I am not Christian. I consider myself "spiritual" as opposed to having faith inside a particular religion. But I happen to think that Jesus Christ was a pretty cool guy who had a lot of wisdom to teach us.
I also think that since my parents were brought up Catholic (which is very similar to Christianity) the term "God" feels pretty comfortable inside my brain. They did not raise us Catholic though; they taught us about many different things and encouraged us to ask a lot of questions! Overtime, I came to my own conclusion that there had to be something bigger than just my human experience.
So, forewarning: I use the label "God" interchangeably with The Universe, Source, The Divine, and other terms to point to the omnipresent, omniscient energy surrounding us.
But I am also 100% happy to have friends who speak to the same Energy Of Everything with different labels. I have friends on here who are Buddhist, Muslim, Catholic, and probably some kind of earthy-witchy types. To me, we are all the same: good people wanting to do good things on the planet, willing to be grateful for all that we have.
Haha. Hopefully, I haven't freaked you out. But... this is me, being myself and bringing you more honest conversations =)
Wow! The reference in which you use "God" is so unique. Considering the fact that you are so diverse, you are just perfect the way you are. Don't ever let anyone drift you away from your everything (Even though I believe it will take a really great person to do that because you are so smart, and you put in so much belief and all of you in whatever you do)!
I'm so happy to have met someone like you here on Hive. This also shows how Hive can bring like-minded people together in such a powerful way 💯
I haven't really caught your name since we started chatting, I think I only know you as Consciouscat. So what's your real name then!? 😁
Ah, thanks friend. You don't know how much your kind words mean to me today. I appreciate your generosity of spirit.
I am Caroline. And how about you? I don't think I know your name either! Or have I just forgotten during our deep conversation? 😂 !LOL
