Changing
September 10th, 2006Looking back over this year, I realize how much I’ve changed. All my shirts I came with over here are screaming to be let go. I was slightly over 5ft 11 when I came — I’m now approaching 6ft 1 and my trousers are ’scared of the ground.’ I’ll be needing new jeans.
The changes are not only physical — I’ve come to appreciate myself for what I am, instead of trying to conform to the norm. Goodbye to trying to talk. I’ll remain quiet old Azuka.
Today’s my little brother Uche’s birthday — the funny thing is I don’t have any picture of him [I'll need to request one from back home]. I think he’s 13 now and trying to get into SS1. When do these small boys of yesterday grow up?
Haven’t heard from my big brother [everyone including my mom calls him 'Chief' :D] for quite a while. I’ll need to rush off an e-mail.
I had a presentation last week and I made sure to use notes, despite what my cocky self told me not to. My voice [I talk very quietly] as usual, let me down and I was slightly nervous but I still managed to get good reviews — apparently, my classmates were impressed. Dr Bonifer even talked to me after the class, because she was excited when I talked about my reading exploits.
I’m still trying to learn how to handle money. I’ve got some money sitting in my RentACoder account, and some in Paypal [still waiting for my Paypal debit card]. I made a bid this morning — haven’t gotten it yet, but I’m already spending the money in my head [poor me].
Library work is still boring, but I’ll survive.

Thanks for dropping by Biodun — trust me, sometimes you hate to be tall. But I’d rather be tall than have most ladies taller than me. That’s one male chauvinistic streak I haven’t let go.
Christabelle, thanks for the encouragement. Communications 304 is a requirement at my university. I figured if I had to take it, then I’d better take it now.
Afropinay, you actually wish to grow taller? Interesting… As for the wardrobe changing, I always tease ladies about how much they love shopping for new clothes. For me, I slap on anything that fits. Maybe that’s why I’m still single.

Hello Azuka.
Yeah, forgive me but i haven’t been one of ur religious readers. Anyways, it’s not my fault. But i still come here when i get a chance to.
Changing changing changing. Now u know what’s funny. I was just sitting here thinking about how i’ve changed too. I was thinking about how people arround me have changed. Some changed for good, while others, well.. u know the opposite.
Just after i thought about the whole ‘changing’ issue. I checked my bookmarks and clicked on ur blog.
Haaa guess what i first saw? CHANGING! lol. . . I was like, Can u believe this shit. (excuse my french).
Well we are all changing, and u know one permanent thing amongst us human beings is that WE CHANGE.

Ohh, ur brother must be a smart kid like you. 13 years old in S.S.S 1. Well just to blow a bit of my trumpet, i was 13 in S.S.3. lol. Happy birthday to ur brother.
WOw, i cant picture myself standing beside you. I’ll look so short. Well if im to include my 4 inches shoe. ……. ohh wait, you’d still be taller than ME!. Hmm… If only ping pong was basketball.
Appreciate the changes in you darling. Talk to you later.
