Dear Diary,

Today’s entry is going to be the last for this month. I am sorry to break your heart.
Writing in you has made complacent in other parts of my writing.

I signed up for a writer’s class and so far my grades have been low. Not because I am not good at writing, but because I have accustomed myself to just one pattern of writing. To fully enjoy the class and apply all the lessons taught, I would have to start something new soonest. So, I will be going on a hiatus.

When I have mastered my short story skills, I will resume my diary sessions. Wipe your tears Diary, let us talk about today.

With ‘Shade at the ECDS Meeting

I attended my first Editorial CDS meeting today. Yippee! It was great seeing my fellow OBS crew members who are serving in other LGAs in Ibadan.

It was also good to put a face to the various people who I have been chatting with since December (the social media arm of the Editorial CDS). They welcomed us well into the family. OBS Crew members are the coolest kids on the block. Argue with your CDS group please.

My friend, Odi invited me to attend a Career Fair organized by Junior Achievers Nigeria and Sigma Pensions. The caliber of speakers brought to this event gave me joy as the inner me leapt for joy. I had my eureka moment during their speeches and dang I am not letting anything or anyone stop me.

This girl is now on fire and just today has found her calling here in Ibadan.
Networking was definitely on my agenda as it availed me the opportunity to meet so many corps members doing great things in this Ibadan.

Until my classes are over, let me leave you with these words;

Strive to be a person of value. Be so good that you make it so hard for people to ignore you”. Anonymous

Have a great weekend.

With much love,
From Maegy❤💙
