The Overwhelming feelings of a NEW PHASE…
This is literally one of the very few times I’ve ever been this overwhelmed and maybe slightly infuriated alongside it. The last time i got this overwhelmed was many years ago, and the most funniest thing about this whole feeling is that it didn’t even occur to me when i was in the JAMB center taking an exam that only happen once every year, even when i was attempting a subject i didn’t hundred percent prepared for. I thought life in the tertiary institution would be as easy and simple to an extent like the one I’ve been living since I became a full-time hiver…
My life has a full-time hivean has been nothing short of amazing and incredible, compared to the live i had long before hive became a part of my journey. I joined the hive blockchain and released how the offline world has been milking me of everything i have, including my the reward for each of my services. I found hive and everything about me took a great turn, and that turn happened to be the best turn of my life. My journey through life has been comfortable and exciting to an extent, if you understand you understand…
I have been in the tertiary institution for almost two weeks now and it feels like i have been here for a thousand of years, this is to tell you how odd and strange i feel currently. The recent events that have been unfolding over here for a couple of days now has made the fact that i am no longer the man with a lot of free time on his hands very clear. The feeling right now is more like having a lot to do with less time to get it done. I am very sure a couple of people can relate very to what I’m saying up there…
Everything over here just happening with the speed of light, I could barely capture any interesting moments at all. Lecturers and their different ways of lecturing, students and their extremely different approaches, attitudes and personalities. I was in class called GNS101 on Monday which happens to be the first day of school and the second day of the week. The funniest part of this whole thing is that i have been having this feeling that this particular week won’t really be a great one for me, and guess what my presumption of how my week would be turned out to be accurate...
This happened when the lecturer for the above listed course came into the hall with over 500 and almost a 600 students from different departments joined together. No light, no microphone, like she had nothing than her Pc and herself to lecture us that day. Thinking she would have a loud and audible voice to carry us all along, and unfortunately she broke our hearts when we saw the bedroom voice she used to dictate. We could barely hear anyhow because of the unnecessary conversations and contributions from the other students. This was a class with about 4 different departments combined together. I got tired of the class even before it started, i became overwhelmed and infuriated when i couldn’t hear anything and wasn’t able to write anything down in my notes. We could barely hear the lecturer speak and she wasn’t even repeating herself. This definitely didn’t stop the side talks and unnecessary murmurs from students…
The two hour class we had that day almost made me regret going to the tertiary institution, i was infuriated to the point that i almost cried. I was just so angry at many things, including myself for not coming extremely very very early, I came early but not early enough to be at the first 3 roles at the front. The people at that position would have higher chances of hearing the lecturer dictate than we at the 10th role…
In summary, the feeling wasn’t all that great, i was infuriated and overwhelmed at the same time, but then this is bound to happen again and i won’t be left stranded the next time it happen again…
In conclusion, i need to adapt to the current system and the new environment i am at the moment, and this includes the current mode of learning i am currently undergoing. The earlier i adapt, the better it is for me…

haha. don't be frustrated just yet, my bro. that's just how it is in 100 level. it'll get easier each level. just try to make it to front row each class and it'll be easier to hear those bedroom voiced lecturers... lmao
Yes my brother, but omo he go far oh. The location to my side go far but all will be fine…
I understand you, many times adapting to new things is not easy and even more so when they have been unpleasant and far from our expectations.
You are exactly on point dear. But all will be fine at last. Thanks.
I can connect with you, it is a typical Nigerian public schooling environment, i have been there, i felt same way as you have, I remember in my own case, about that number of student where gathered in an open pavilion, with a scotching sun, in addition to that their guys who clear their grasses, were on the field at the same time clearing the grasses with their engine sound as loud as possible.
it took a while but we had no option than to adapt to it, the first few days i will always return back to my room with headache and fever, but after our fist semester, we really did not even feel it, no one was actually bordered about it.
Don't give up so fast that is often how uneasy the start of something's are. I am a product of such experience but it has made me stronger.
