HONEY, I'M HOME!
Sunday. That day of the week where you go to church to repent your sins so that they do not pile up and accumulate with next week's sins. I have not been to church of late. My sins are overflowing like the government sewage system. And like the government, I could not be bothered.
I am at home. I had to come back home today for a variety of reasons..
One of the reasons is because my little sister called me when she closed school. To tell me that she had closed school. And that she was broke. And we have this unwritten (but not unsaid) rule that whoever is in session should have money to give to whoever is in holiday because none of us has jobs and we were not lucky enough to get parents that give things called ALLOWANCES. My sister came through for me when I had that long holiday (thrice) and now it was my turn! Luckily, it is not always a lot of money that we share (you know, cos we do not have jobs). It is always something little to, maybe, buy phone credit or maybe junk food. Unluckily, I did not have even that little cash to give her having had an expensive but worth while week that I promise to tell you all about it if you ask.
Another reason as to why I am home is because I am broke. Needed to come for a refill. So as to sort my next week (and sister) out.
Another reason is because of some youth program I am in. While on holiday, a few of us youth in our compound (read estate) decided to clean our tainted image by starting up a sporting project. Raising money to build a basket ball court. It was going on great until the part where I opened school and the project was still not over. Meaning I have to come back home from school whenever a meeting is called. Expensive.
Another reason is I do not have clean clothes. As you know I do not have a hostel. I depend mostly on friends and well wishers for my stay in school. I get to sleep on peoples' floors or maybe their beds if they have gone home for the weekend or maybe with them if they (and I) do not mind! I have recycled clothes to their elastic limit and I needed a fresh pair of dirty clothes to walk around with.
Side note: I really need to get a room in campus because all this getting helped is too much. For instance, I have spent a couple of nights in the girls block. Yes. They are very accommodative. Problem is, being around too many girls is also not a good thing for a straight guy. I have listened to stories on how men are pigs, on how to cheat on your man, how to find out your man is cheating on you, what to do if your man is cheating on you, why your man will never find out that you are cheating on him, how to little of sex can make your face pimply... and many other conversations that lacked depth. Not to say that I always make meaningful conversation. What I am saying is, when I am talking nonsense, its usually more on the context of boobs not dick. Nevertheless, I am grateful for their assistance during this times of hostelessness.
Another reason . I had to just piss of my aunt. I came home to find my sister all excited to see me and I had to stretch on the excitement by jumping up and down and screaming like a little bitch. Because I knew my aunt was taking her afternoon nap and the noise would just piss the shit out of her. She hates it when we make noise while she is sleeping. Owned.
So anyway, home. Sucks the usual amount. No change in diet. Maize for supper. Mosquitoes still roam even when there is light. The only change here is the extra layer of dirt on my bedroom window sill. No sudden movements or it will drop on my bed. Speaking of bed. I should be sleeping soon because I have an early class tomorrow so I have to wake up at like 5 am to make it in time.
