This one is not actually about taking a Monday break, or going on a sabbatical, NO. There is a matter arising and it concerns education. It is that week full of practicals upon practicals. I did skip them last semester to avoid bulk courses choking me. It did work out I must say because by the grace of God. A good cut off point I must say to summarize a semester I was quaking at first.
I had to get myself prepared early enough and head to the study center. A big advantage I have as the south south zone study center is right at my very backyard. Others have had to pay transportation down here with some planning on staying around for the next two weeks. Both are at a high when you consider feeding too and perhaps booking a hotel for the next two weeks.
Before going any further I must say I am kind of disappointed from the information I got from my colleague ahead of us. He never took much time to explain what's up. I have four practical courses to deal with this semester and well, it has been that procrastination again. I don't want to have a bad score so I keep shifting the badge and finally, this is the last badge; no running anymore.
My assumptions were wrong concerning the entire practicals. I felt it was going to be a closed door practical system where everything is done and submitted at once but I was wrong. This is why I got disappointed by that colleague. He has experience on how it is done so why not take time and explain it to me. I have been calling him on guidance and he never for once said; ‘it is an open practicals’. In short, submission is in two weeks.

Ahh! So why didn't I join the earlier badges? Wrong information which kept me on a pressure seat. I was just curious today on campus to get more information from colleagues who attended earlier badges and what I heard marvelled. It was first a voice call to the department person I could find on our department platform and his explanation seemed unbelievable when I shared it with a colleague that was with me. He was even more amazed than I was.
Next up, I finally found a colleague that did those practicals in his first semester and indeed the voice over conversation was very true. The reading pressure just got reduced and well, adding to that, we are at a good number to share idea and get this thing done.
To conclude, let me add, it seems it is going to be me and school for the next two weeks (while actually I was suggesting it was a four day thing within this week for the four practicals). A friend of mine just sent an email letter to his workplace specifying just four days.
He will have to check back and do that necessary adjustment. It is a matter of ‘how soon’ his company will react to that. He is facing the same misunderstanding I did from inception. Ok, as of the time of completing this article, no practicals yet. Keep a good energy for the week.
