MY LIFE IN CAMPUS-SHOUT OUTS {PART 2/3}



Campus made me learn so many things. Among them was making time to have fun and pass time with friends. In campus you are young, we are told this very many times until we have to act on it. We are told campus is the only place you have the freedom to have fun without certain restrictions and limitations. The society expects us to get married after campus; in an ideal scenario apparently, we should be graduating from campus with two degrees, bachelor degree and husband/wife degree. When you are told this you know you really have to create time and have some fun before the babies set in. My five years were fairly fun I can’t complain and won’t regret either. A shout out to my fun buddies Rhoda Odongo, Shakila Omulisia, Susan Okumba, Cynthia Olwande, Valentine Ngilimo, Sylvia Awori, Judy Anyango. The getting together, jogging, cooking, photo shoots, dancing out, parties and picnics I shared with you ladies will forever be among my treasured memories. Away from campus I hope the having fun spirit goes on wherever you will go. Have fun by yourselves, with your sisters, friends and spouses and with me too whenever we find time to hook up. I made sisters of different personalities in you all and hope to keep these sisters for life. 



There is a group of people every school goer never forgets. The classmates! Spending time with a group of people for a good five years connects you. From my class I made 3 lovely sisters and 27 lovely brothers.  People that we have shared ups and downs but one thing remains, we were classmates for five good years. All the sports days wouldn’t have been amazing without you; all the lessons we shared were fun because the class had people; survey camp was fun because we were a group of us. You guys know in case I will be tarmacking after school I hope you will connect me with some of your employers, of course that’s before I have my own firm ; when I will be doing my wedding in future you are very much invited and being engineers I expect presents of your caliber ;-); when I start getting babies I hope to introduce them to uncles and aunties and to their playmates, your  kids; I hope my house warming shall be full of GST class of 2011; I hope we grow old together into our full careers and still keep contact; I hope to partner with you and come up with big geospatial engineering firms that will scare the s*** out of ERB; I hope when all is said and done and my time on earth is up, you shall carry me to my grave and say, “ I studied with that old granny, she was my classrep ;-).” I treasure every moment we shared with all of you, thank you for being my classmates and most importantly for being my friends. 29 names can’t fit in here but I love you all, of course in the brotherly and sisterly way #agapelovethings. P/S I would do all the above for you too. 

 


And then there are the other friends I made here who in one way or the other gave me more life, more than I would have without them. My neighbor’s right from home, Robert, George, Kevin, Allan, Khaemba Sam and Neli, reuniting here was awesome. It only goes to show Bungoma is very much represented all over the world. Thank you for your continued well wishes n friendship. For those who went ahead of me in this noble career, motivated me to seek the best and be the best, I am truly grateful. Asante sana Makheti, Nyamori, Caleb and Korir, I know the future is bright because you all give me hope. The roommates and girlfriends I made from here Rachel, Olwande, Diana, Melody, Dolphin, Pauline you were a blessing in one way or the other. Thank you for the peaceful co-existence and friendship that came along with it, I wish you all well. All the other friends I made or re-united with here, you are all in my heart, friends from Lugulu, The Kenya High School and all those who have supported me while here including my loving relatives maternal and paternal, this girl treasures and loves you through all the times and good thoughts you shared with her, may this spirit continue forever.

 And how would I forget the people who brought me to campus? I could get all the grades I wanted to get but without caring parents and a caring family all that could have gone down the drain.  When you have parents who are teachers you know university is compulsory. Thank you daddy and mommy, I know I will never compensate you even in my entire lifetime but don’t you feel proud that your once tiny little baby girl just finished campus? I know you do. Thanks to my brothers and sister, I did not need to get any old married sponsors to sustain my campus expenditure. Don’t get me wrong, I mean apart from the financial support, you all taught me well. I am me because those who went ahead of me inspire, teach and guide me well. I truly owe all of you, from the bottom of my heart asanteni sana to you and your lovely families.
And last but not least, to my lovely Etienne, you deserve a blog post of your own and that is an agenda for another day. This final year would have been a lot harder without you, I needed an angel and he came in form of a person. What do I say, Je t’aime mon chѐri.
Well, we are not yet done, part 3 loading…

MY LIFE IN CAMPUS- CAMPUS LESSONS {PART 3/3}

11 years ago, I wanted to become an engineer when I grow up. I did not know exactly what engineering entailed and how I would get there but I knew for me to be one I had to study really hard. Well my dreams were and still are valid. 11 years later as I finish my undergraduate studies I have a very important lesson to take home from one of my lectures, Prof Kiema. He said, it does not matter what you do, what matters is how you do it. You can’t possibly go through an institution for all these years and fail to pick up important lessons to last you a lifetime. My most important life lessons were picked here, my best characters were shaped here as well, be my guest; Campus taught me how to relate to people, those I like and those I don’t. It taught me I don’t have to like someone to respect them; respect is for all, friends and strangers.   I learnt that anything that has a beginning always has an end. Just like finishing campus, all other aspects of life have beginnings...

MY LIFE IN CAMPUS {PART 1/3}

Just like that, it’s over! (Read oveeeeeeeeer!). Honestly it does not feel like five years are gone already. Time sure flies. I still remember how young, fragile and innocent I was when I walked into Stella Awinja hostel for my first year in campus. I would say I was mature and responsible though, I brought myself to campus most people don’t.   Then papa came to check on me later and brought my luggage and I remember him questioning the custodians why I had to share a room with five other ladies yet the forms clearly stated sharing two. Best daddy ever, he cared enough to know where his daughter was going to live. Sharing a room with five other adorable ladies turned out to be the best thing. I made friends that will forever remain my friends both in their presence and absence. The many Luhyia songs and ohangla dances done in that room, sweet old memories. Shout out to Brenda Nanjala, Rhoda Odongo, Sylvia Awori and Merlene Ndolo, I miss and love you lovely ladies. You made my...

The man every woman wants

I am not married, we may say I don't have experience but i definitely know the kind of man every woman wants because I am a woman. Women like feeling special and pampered, it is in us. Those lovely compliments, sincere appreciation and sweet words warm our hearts. Yes we are special for sure hence we deserve to feel equally or more special. When a woman meets that gentleman who makes her feel special than any other person around her, you can be rest assured she will make you feel triple special in return. A woman is like a kid, however learned or experienced she is, she would not resist a good sense of direction. No woman wants to have man who is not concerned any inch about what goes on in her career field/business. We all admire men who make us better in our careers and ambitions. By making her better I mean knowing what goes on in her business, having two or three compliments about it,  practically assisting with ideas and getting things done if need be. Anything supportive ...
