7 months

Wow guys, has it been 7 months already?

My my time goes so fast when you don't realise it. Well in that 7 months , I have finished college with good references and in good graces as well. I am now a student at a university which excites me to no avail and also as of last friday, I am now the conference rep for this said university. I'm very excited for this journey that I am about to embark on. Law school is really hard but I can do it.

When I think about where I am today, it's almost laughable. I remember in primary school and secondary school teachers never believed that I could be any more than a stereotype. That because I was a certain colour, my life had to turn out in a certain way. And for a few years I believed it. They were adults so they must have known what they were talking about but it was total crap.

I have come to value myself and to invite failure into my life because it pushes me to be better and smarter and work harder. And by doing that , I have achieved Presidency at at my previous university, an award from Women Together for my hard work with Umatter Choicess Centre , was Award Role Model of the month by another charity with a surprise mini reception etc.
This is just a thought that is going through my mind and I thought I should share. A lot of people believe the negative things said about them and allow themselves to live in that negativity and I am simple saying that you shouldn't. Self value is the most important thing that we have. Appreciate who you are and work hard on who you want to be. Only YOU can change that and it's time you started to believe that you can be who you want to be. It won't be easy and you'll want to give up a lot of the time but the most important thing is that you DON'T.

Holidayyyyy

Darlings,


It's official. I am no longer president of my college union. My position has been handed down(by me) to the next president. I am sure he will perform well (fingers crossed), if anything goes wrong I'm sure I will hear about it.


So enough about work- it's time to play. My vacation time is here and I am super excited to be going. I am going to miss my family and friends but this is a big deal for me and I am going to jump with both feet and with God's grace, I will land on both feet too. Of course I will update as soon as I can when I reach my temp destination. Y'all have to live this out with me.

Free

Hey pumpkins,


So I am officially free from school for another few months until September, the next academic year.

Okay so since I finished I have had the opportunity to sit down and have a proper conversation with the people that mattered most from my college. It's definitely bittersweet to see all of them go their separate ways and move on to better things. I'm super excited for all of them and wish them ALL the best in whatever they do.

So tomorrow I am off to shop and sort out some things for my holiday and I just can't wait to just be away and work in a different country for 2 months!!! It's crazy. But I love being busy. I can't imagine spending more than 5/6 days not doing anything. Even two days is a stretch. I've got till exactly next two weeks before I leave and I am counting down the days obsessively.

Anyway dolls, I'm going to leave you now and enjoy spending time with my family. I will write soon.

Coffee high

So , it's 2:05 am where I am yet I am still awake trying to study for this psychology exam I have 7 hours. I literally haven't learned a damned thing. I'm just trying to skim through all my notes and pray that my memory does not fail me.

I just thought to post a little something since I haven't in a few days. Must say I am super excited about my holiday. It would be a great break from my life right now. I am so thankful for every single thing that has led me to this point in life. I am so grateful. God is so amazing and I owe him everything.


Anyway, I will write soon.

2.1.GO!

Hola,


Man I am so pumped. I have only got two exams to go before I am completely free form school until September and  I am so excited but my brain is totally fried. Dear gosh, but I am pushing through really really hard to make the last year count like hell. I cannot wait until Monday after noon when I now I am freeeee!!!

Oh and I am planning a two month or so long holiday for both pleasure and academics and I cannot wait! But just the prep is exhausting. Now I haven't been away for such a long time in about 5 years. The last holiday I went on was last August and it was only for 5 days. Now this trip is going to be about 21 days. That is a really long time to spend in a really hot country.

I haven't even shopped for it or started packing.  I suck at packing, I literally want to put my whole closet in two suitcases which is virtually impossible so I have to get help from someone to sit on the case. Always.


Back to revision now dolls,

13 days to freedom

Morning,

It's just gone 12 am where I am and I have still got a lot to revise and I am not in the least bit tired so revision is a go for maybe another two hours before I hit the hay.

So the new book by Sylvia Day - Entwined with you- came out yesterday and I have finished reading it already. I am a fiend for Gideon Cross and Eva Tramell. The book is totally worth a read. I didn't put it down until I really had to and that's only to study. Gideon and Eva get some serious drama in this book and surprises too. What really irked me was that it is not the final book. Nope, there will be another book published. Not sure when though. But I will revise and revisit this book and go into details. I want to give you a chance to read it before I ruin it for you.

13 days until I finish my exams and I am freaking out. I feel like I'm studying hard but there is always so much more that you could be doing you know. But I will try my best to get the grades needed and also study so when I leave the exam I'm confident and so I can have a piece of mind on my holiday knowing that I couldn't have possible done anymore than I did.

So I will leave it there and get to studying but you will hear from me soon.

Oh and I am looking for a closing speech or a tagline or whatever you want to call it. 'MOT Girl' is seriously boring. email me if you think about something. irenejehu@hotmail.co.uk

Exam season

Bonjour ,



Evening readers, as you may know for many school kids it is indeed exam season and everyone is working really hard. For some reason laziness has inhibited my body and I have no desire to study which is a fool's game because I have ONE shot to do this and do it well. As I write I am sad. I am sad because there seem to be so many deaths around me and I keep thinking what is the point of education? I've spent more than 10 years in the education system and in the end I will be waiting for a piece of paper that is going to 'determine' my future. Do I agree with it? No. However, education is the difference between you and the other person going for the same job.
Education is not about knowledge anymore, it is about memory. It's not about what you know or what you have been taught, it is about how much information you can retain and then being able to regurgitate it on a piece of paper. The system is flawed but who am I to say such things.

Anyway, I finish officially in 17 days and it's as scary as hell but either way I know that regardless of what my results are, I will be successful. But it will not take away the pain if I do not perform well. However, I will push through my laziness and make sure those results resulted from my hard work and so that I have no one else to blame for my tardy results.

Now I am going to enjoy movie night with my mother.
Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Ears to the ground

Hey dolls,


So y'all will never guess who called me today. My ex boyfriend! Like why call me after you flat out disrespected me just because you were in front of your 'boys'.  Ugh! it's like I don't even want to talk about it but I have to because I am still pondering on the possibilities of him monitoring me. I wouldn't even put it past him. Like seriously, His stalking tendencies have no bounds. It is creepy. At one point I found the whole protective cave man alpha male protect whats mine 'me tarzarn, you jane' bullshit kinda cute but now it is creepy.

Dante's Inferno

Why hello there good looking ...


So today I was speaking to my English lecturer about the different ways Macbeth could have been interpreted  if religion played a huge part in it. Things such as Macbeth getting the prophecy from maybe an angel rather than the 'weird sisters' then how would that have changed the story. We spoke about it for a while , throwing ideas in and out of the pot.

However, I asked about Dante's Inferno only because I read Gabriel's Inferno and the whole book literally revolved around their fascination of Dante's love for Beatrice and all that. It boggled my mind but then I noticed the genius of it all. The author basically in some way retold the story with a modern twist.

Now Dante's Inferno is a classic and very popular and also very old!. Dante speaks about his journey through hell (because Inferno is Latin for 'Hell') and the seven stages to it. It is very interesting and I would recommend it if you love to read like me.

There's also a challenge for you. There are a lot of literal allusions (references to other texts) in everyday life. When someone says something or you read something and they make allusions, research it to get a better understanding of what they are saying. For me personally, it makes the reading experience a whole lot more exciting!

well hello there

Hello readers ,

so I tried to update you sooner but then I couldn't remeber my password. awakard.

Anyway , so umm i've got my exams coming up soon which is freaking me out but praying to the Lord Almighty to grant me favour and grace.
I 've decided to take a new turn with my page. I don't know how many of you are into books but I was thinking that maybe, because I read so much and I love to read, that I would do some reviews on most of the books that I've read so far. Some new releases and some old as well as old time classics such as Frankenstein and Carter's Vintage collections and take it apart and try to put a modern twist to it. It would be very exciting.

But yes, ummm what has been going on in my life?

Well ... so we just hosted the SUVA awards at my collge (Student Union Variety Awards) which was incredible. I hosted the show with one of the coolest staff member Mr GHill. It was a really great night and after the show we had some positive feedback which was amazing as well. I had another student come up to me and say how inpirational I was to her! (No bullshit). I was so touched I felt to cry. But of course I did not.
Also I went to national conference in Sheffield. For those who don't know what it is, its a national conference where student unions from all over come to one place for 3 days and decide and vote on issues concerning students as a whole. That was called NUS National Conference. NUS standing for National Union of Students. Their new president is Ms Toni Pearce. She's super friendly and just a great person as a whole. I'm super excited that she got the position.

Okay , so I have applied to universities and got some offers. I will reveal my uni of choice after I get my results and know for sure that I will be going there. But I am super excited for the move. I'm currently doing my budget and shopping for things I'm going to need as well which is majorly fun and expensive.

But enough from me,
I will make sure I write more often. I'm not even going to lie, I don't think it will be any time soon as exams have started or soon to be started. However, during the summer is when exciting stuff tend to happen anyway, so I'm pretty sure you'll be excited to know what I will get up to. And if you're up to it, email me the things that you will be doing and I will give you a shout out. My email address is irenejehu@hotmail.co.uk . If you also agree (as it would be totally confidential between you and I), with your agreement I could maybe share this info on here? whatcha think.

Passing by...

Hey Readers ,


So I  was just passing by and I saw a computer so I thought why not update my blog.

So nothing major is happening in my life. Newly single (result). I think I'm ready to be alone for a while to sort myself out before I am ready to jump into anything.

So I started training trying to get fit for my holiday in the summer and stay fit really. It's gonna be really hard but I am determined so I will try my hardest to do my best and get the results I need. However, trying to maintain it will be a struggle but I will then know how hard it was to lose the weight so I will alert me more to know to keep the weight off.

What else has been happening ....
I'm an aunt which is exciting news. My little newphew is the cutest thing ever. He's perfect.


Anway, Easter is coming up soon and it will be super excting because I have loads lined up for the month. I have to go training now but I will defo give you and update.

ttyl ...

Busy busy busy

If someone would have told me a two years ago that I would be president of the student union , church worker, writer and all the other crazy things I do, I would have told them to get out.

I'm not even exaggerating when I say I have no time for myself. It's my last year in college and I'm trying super hard to get the grades I need and to also balance all these things out but it's proving very difficult! Some times I sit and wonder how in the world do I do it? Then I tell myself that it is by the grace of the Lord that I am able to do what I do and still enjoy it as much as I do. Truth be told, I love being a 'Role model' for students and peers. It carries a LOT of responsibilities but I am a fighter and I am tough and I perform to by best abilities and if it's not enough for you then you can suck my nonexistent cock! Stick that in your ass and push it!


Honestly, I  fell like when I give 100% is when my team members do a 180 and just stop working their hardest because 'Irene's doing it'. Fuck that shit yo!

Anyway, mini rant done. I've got some super exciting things happening from this weekend till 16th April and I cannot wait to share them with you. I will try and give you a play by play as much as I can.

Also please do not forget about the website that I write for! We need your input. www.swollowourwords.org.uk and please check out my friends writing on WATTPAD under the name 'WINTER MOOD IN JUNE'. I think it's on hiatus right now but still check it out and give her positive/negative feedback so she can make it better. Same goes for me as well, if there is a particular subject you want to talk about then hit me up and lets make it happen.

it's a funny story ... really

My peaches,


let me tell you a very funny story that happened to me and my mother just this week.
So our neighbour passed away not too long ago, mid feb and his funeral was on monday. My mum and I get ready Monday morning to go to the funeral all dressed in black.


We get to the place and most people have arrived. Not so long after the body comes in the coffin and the men handle it carry it to the chapel (crematorium) and asks all guest to have sit for the funeral to begin.

My mother and I sit down, crying our eye balls out because our dear neighbour is gone and we will never see him again. The priest starts talking but I hardly register what he is saying until he comes to the part where he tells us about his childhood. He gives us a little anecdote about our neighbour ....  And then all of a sudden, he begins to say

'As we have gathered here to say our goodbyes to Andy ...'

My mother and I look at each other both thinking 'WHAT THE FUCK!'

My neighbours name is not Andy and finally I look up to see the picture and it's of another man.


Classic!

Darlings!!

Also check out my website that I write www.swallowourwords.org
