Anyone who is an avid reader of novels should get that book. In a world of Stephen Kings, Nora Roberts and Robert Ludlums, Khaleed Hosseini’s style is like a breath of fresh air. ** They never backed down; the severity of the rumors just kept increasing. But I didn’t pay them no attention. I came to work, did my job and left, nothing extra. I checked out more thrift stores and got even more books. I occupied my downtime with more and more books. Then the “attacks” started becoming personal. My coworkers started progressively being rude and i noticed a communal vendetta towards me; when making the daily schedule, they would try as much as possible to give me the hardest set of residents to take care of, knowing I wouldn’t speak up. They tried everything to get a response from me, i refused to give them the pleasure of seeing that happen. Each day I was to come to work, I’d brace myself for the onslaught. They got tired, progressively, they moved on to something more “interesting”; the knowing glances and inside jokes ceased. They ran out of steam. One thing I learned from the ordeal was never to let your emotions get in the way of your job, ever. If I had caved in and showed these piglets any emotions (anger, sadness etc) or a sign of weakness, they would have gladly exploited it. Secondly, I realized that these people who could so gladly and willingly smile in my face and then go behind my back to say these vile stuff should be kept at a distance and that’s what I’ve been doing since then. —�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—� I’m vigorously preparing for the placement tests which would determine the classes I would enrol. While the English placement doesn’t bug me one bit, the math placement test is weighing heavy on my mind. I can’t remember when last I did college algebra and all that stuff, but I’m watching YouTube videos and brushing up slowly and steadily 27 Likes 1 Share |

FrankNetter: Those placement test are quire easy if you had a good science backgroud in naija. I would advise you look up on quizlett.com. They have a broad range of topics and subjects to keep you in top form. I guess you will be resuming during Fall if everything goes as planned. 1 Like 1 Share |

Ah! Summer time. The weather is progressively getting warmer and the clothes are getting skimpier. Ladies of all shapes and sizes are stepping out with the tiniest of clothing; Bum shorts that leave the ass cheeks hanging out, sundresses that leave nothing to the imagination, even panties and bra and flip flops to top it off. There’s nothing like morality holding these ladies back, trust me when I tell you, these ladies leave nothing to the imagination! They might as well be walking around completely naked Yankee is beautiful On Saturday, early in the morning, I went to play soccer in Chicago, close to University of Chicago in Illinois (UIC). I drove for like 20 minutes and the sun was still rising when I got there. After playing for 1 hour or so, the weather started getting hotter and hotter. We had to stop cos the sun became unbearable. Even for me, a full blooded African young man, the sun was too hot to handle! When I got in my car, I checked the temperature and it was around 100 degrees Fahrenheit We were a couple more minutes from having a heatstroke https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_stroke After soccer, I went home and freshened up, then I drove down to the school to write the English placement test. We were required to read and summarize a story about some lady’s experiences while growing up from a poor background. This was followed by a couple of questions, one of which we were asked to equate the lady’s experiences with something that happened in ours. I wrote about some hardship story using Nigeria as the setting; there was a lot to write about, but I didn’t want to do too much. An academic advisor gave me a tip earlier on, that they aren’t actually looking at the length of your essay, they would be looking at sentence structures and technical stuff. The placement test was done on a computer and lasted approximately 2hours 21 Likes 1 Share |
