This is going to be a short one.

So I was on the OAU campus today, I was buying some suya--a beef jerky sorta thing. I must have mentioned it in an earlier post so I'll let you do all of the hard work and find it. Because I'm lazy. DEAL WITH IT

As I was saying. I was buying some suya, and it was pretty dark. It was 8:45 PM after all. So all of the streetlights were on and there were all of these bright buildings and stuff. You know, how it should look? And people were going about doing weird stuff and I was there buying the suya on the street corner and everything was normal and--BAM. PHCN strikes again! All of the power goes out, simultaneously. Every building, every streetlight, goes dark. Here comes the cool part.

All of a sudden, I hear this huge collective sigh! Like, everyone on campus rolling their eyes and huffing in exasperation. I know it might not sound so cool, but it was an amazing experience. It was as if this experience kinda brought everyone together. We all hate PHCN's unreliability. So we can all unite under that. Alright, maybe it's not the best thing to agree on; hating the electric company? But it was still really cool to hear. Like this huge...wave of sound! You know, similar to that Marvel superhero, the one that can't say a word because if he does he'll like explode everything in sight or something like that? Because his voice is so loud and immense and all that stuff? (Okay, you can take my nerd creds away.)

MY LIFE IS FULL OF WORDS

AND NUMBERS

It mostly involves a lot of this:

And this:

So as you can tell, I've been rather busy. It's been so much fun, learning C++ and Calculus. Plus, my math teacher let me borrow his Kindle DX for a week and a half. How awesome is that?! Now I can read my e-books on a proper e-book reader! Sorry laptop, but you're staring at words on your screen for too long will give anyone a headache.

Speaking of books, I've also been snooping about in the old library. We have a decent collection of books (my Granpa's old collection), and most of them are from the 60s and 70s. I found a couple of good ones (1984 is one of them) , and I tried reading The Iliad too. I'm sorry to say I failed. :P Who knew the Greeks could make such confusing literature?

Anyway, there are a lot of really old Nigerian magazines. It's almost like travelling back in time. You get to see what people cared about back then, what issues they had and what accomplishments they had achieved. Maybe I'll talk more about that later.

I know this is a short post, and it's more of an update about what I've been up to. But that's okay! I'll try to find more interesting things to talk about next time. :)

P.S. I was looking around my blog, and I saw my old "Favorite Sites" widget on the right-hand side. I haven't changed it for years; one of my sites on there is "GMail (ESPECIALLY BUZZ)". I remember when I used to talk to my friends through Buzz! I didn't even have a Facebook account. Ah...memories.
