The sem so far

I promised to keep regular updates (boyfulani, patience). So far, so good. I have so many borrowed library books in my room am slowly becoming the class geek. Assignments and reports are done in time, so guys end up copying from me, but u know what hurts the most? Sometimes they end up getting more than me! Life can be so unfair.

Moving on; my social life isn't in such a good shape, not that I can describe what a good shape is, but u get the point. So this one Sunday mid-morning, am in campo and lyk soo booored so I take a mat to nearby uni to swim. (Can u believe am in a whole university without a swimming? Tuko down yaani) . ( And yes, Xs, I can swim, just coz u can't float don't mean no one else can't) So after swimo I meet this guy. Just casual vybe. He tells me his name is..um...(let's just say Z).

So Z starts texting. But the thing is, I just don't feel him. I mean, he is too nice, sometimes we kosa vybe (we've not reached a point where silence is comfortable). The only redeeming quality is that he is a Fine Art student (believe me it is a redeeming quality, artists are supposed to be excting, eccentric and passionate..ok, been watching too many movies). Oh, plus, I want my portrait drawn...and he is also 6"1. Guess my height? (5 feet zero!).

Anyhoo(I have watched up to Seasin five of Scrubs, so Modo, I did not copy this from you my peeper...), so he came over to visit this weekend. we had sort of a nice time but there lacks that excitement, that spark that should exist at least at the beginning of something. Am not really talking about giddiness, heart racing, sweaty palsm, weak knees (influence from Mills and Boon), but at least there should be some kind of anticipation that is just not there in this case.

The next meeting will be to tell him that it just can't work (he's already asked me out..am not filling in for myself). I have decided to wait for Mr. Near Right (or at least someone 'exciting) before jumping into a relationship. He is just not my type (I wonder where Mr. frankie type will comre from). But being single has its benefits, I guess. All u care about is urself.

I wonder when I will ever fall in love for the first time.....(sigh)

They may copy and get more marks, but the question is, do they understand the material? While it may be good to get top marks, the more important goal should be understanding the concepts being taught.

copying only works for a bit, what quota do assignments account for in the final mark by the way? in my time it was 30% so you had to chop to avoid getting axed after the exams!

i hope you shall find some love soon! it sometimes finds you from some very unexpected places!

ok, how is it possible ati someone copies and gets more than you...anyways, good luck putting Z down..let me tell you from experience, better sooner than later. And don't worry, you'll find love, probably when you least expect it.

Great blog btw.

Everything is always about attitude, if you have the right attitude towards ur intent, you will get around it. Atleast I have gotten around with that...

@egm
Well, exams usually are eye-openers, so am not too worried with copiers, though they leave my assignment wrinkled up and old, and theirs new, that's why they get more marks.....

@muthii fulani
yah, they are still 30%. am hoping it should be sooner...a girl can only wait so long...

@wambui jnr
i think TAs just mark tidiness in assignments coz there is mass copying...and yah, me and Z are over..told him no this week..


@zack
my attitude from now will change..I will expect love where there don't appear..

@pilato

@gish.
I guess I can wait for as long as it takes.
