Home Sweet Home

I'm home. It is boiling hot and I have not seen NEPA abi na PHCN generated electricity since I got here. I havent had a glass of cold water in days. My feet are swollen from a combo of walking and the unbearable heat. I am even more self conscious about my weight as I have ever been because people keep staring at me in shock damn it! I have had to refrain from cursing out people at my bank. Have bank workers always been this rude? And ugly? And badly dressed? I'm no fashion plate, but I distinctly remember being impressed at the attire of the people who worked at the banks before I left. Having said all that.....

I"M HOME!!! I'M HOME!!!! I"M HOME!!! I AM HOME!! WOOHOO!! After almost two years of utter abysmal depression with several plans of suicide never carried out only because of Freak's encouraging words, and the possible hook up with THE CRUSH (which never happened....and never will but one can dream....); and of course I'm Nigerian for heaven's sake! We no dey do that kain ting. So I have no job, and my pure science/clinical research/ lecturing-teaching experience will probably never translate into the nigerian market so my hopes of getting one are..... I am still so happy to be home. I'll probably go back. Only have friends in this country and I still want that PhD! But it is so good to be back. I've missed my country so. Its true what they say aint nothing like home!

My adventure on the way home coming soon.....
