If wishes were horses, I'd ride away from the hospital. Its so hard to be around these judgemental people. Every day I wear a mask to go in there cos they make me feel so bad. But its alright, one day (in ten mths) this will be over.
I want to get a Ph.d in public health but right now I feel so worn out. I have started working on my CV though. I have so much time on my hands now, I'm not taking classes and I really need to take advantage of it. Work on my project, my CE and then get the hell out of that hospital.
Problem is I don't know where I want to go. Houston? Atl? Back to Maryland/dc. I'm kinda fancying North Carolina right now. I don't know why. I will have to pray about this. I want a position with minimum fuss abeg. I would like to teach but I will not make up to $80,000 and thats not cool when my mates are making up to $20,000 more but it will probably be my best fit if I want to go back to school. Huh, na wa oh.
This decision go worry oh.

A lil' blue

Sunday, August 27, 2006

I'm not big on love. I fall out of love so easy, its not even funny. I really cannot imagine being married. We will be just co-parents in no time cos I just don't know how to love ... unconditionally anyway. So somebody invited me to a party last night and never showed. How silly but anyways...
I hate driving. Thats why I loved dc, you could get by on public trans but here in Memphis, I get by but everybody keeps bringing it up "When are you going to get a car, when are you going to get a car?" It irritates me. I hate people wanting you to live by their standards, I live by my own standards please!!!!
Hey, I was talking to my boy A today. He has a couple of chicks in Naija he talks to regularly. One of them was tripping about him not coming back for xmas. Now I don't know what the two of them talk about (you know how boys are) but basically, I think we women trip too much over men. Everytime, someone hollas at us, we see a wedding ring. Its ridiculous, I think we need to stop all that mess. When he proposes, then he proposes, if he hasn't, he hasn't. Na wa, abeg.

Another day

Tuesday, August 22, 2006

My bf just left. I actually miss him. What a wonderful world. I guess we are getting better at knowing each other. I dread talking to my boss tomorrow but anyhow, God dey. My week is going ok. I'm doing fun things and my life is getting okay, I guess (until the next bombshell at least). I just read Ike Oguine's A squatter's tale and it brought back so many home memories. This short book really delved deep. There was just no pretentiousness here, it was for real. Told as is. I really loved it. I'm big with naija writers these days for real. I love them. God bless them

Meetings from hell

Thursday, August 10, 2006

Well, I'm all "meetinged" out today. I started with an all day strategic planning meeting and rounded up with a Memphis area pharmacist society (MAPS) meeting. Nice dinner at the rendevous though. I'll go there again. I saw a lot of people I knew. Its so easy to know people here. I just heard the saying "the warmer the weather, the warmer the people". Oh how true that is. I lived in washington dc and people were so stuffy!!! so stuffy. I really like memphis.Tomorrow, I will start my day with another meeting and I guess it will end with a meeting too but I'm having fun. Getting paid to do not a whole lot. But anyway, my plan is to pick a project topic and start reading for my discussion topis. I promise I'm not going to say being a pharmacy resident sucks... oops.

Scary business

Well, I have been into reading other people's blogs. Lately I have been fascinated by Bola Odegbami's blog Chronicles of a Soldier Lots of energy I must say. Thats when I realized I really need to go out more!!! Its crazy how now I'm financially stable, I'm so caught up in work, its not even funny. But anyway, I have promised myself to do better. I guess my biggest problem is that I lack companionship. I can't think of anybody to go to the movies or clubs with.See, the thing is, (well this is my blog so I can say anything I darn well please.) I came here when I was twenty with my mum and sis. We knew absolutely nobody except for my mum's friends from back in the day. Their kids were not friendly at all ( I guess I would have been the same way too, maybe) so I pretty much only worked and schooled so I guess thats where I have come up with this loner habit. Oh well, I'ma try to do better

Hello There!

Sunday, August 06, 2006

Well, I have never done any blogging of any sort so this is my first. But I'm all into it. But anyway, what do I want to talk about? I have no idea really but I think I'll find something. Lately I have been holding back because many things have not gone as I planned but I have got a lot of good things I did not plan for so I'm really grateful.
I have been in Memphis over a year and I really like it. People are really friendly, oh how I love that! Cos I will talk to anyone and everyone. I have gotten a lot of eshos (omo naija, y'all know what I mean) people start raising shoulders and perpetrating oh!!!! Na wa
Well, its sunday, I need to prepare for tomorrow. See ya.

About Me

Name: lala
Home: Memphis, Tennessee, United States
About Me: I'm an introvert. I love challenges and the "path less taken". I have discovered that life more of a journey than a destination so I try to enjoy each day. And if you've never failed at anything then you haven't tried anything outside your comfort zone. Right now, I have a love/hate relationship with Memphis. I love the city because the people are very friendly but careerwise, this place will be a dead end for me.
