Covenant University is
every undergraduate's dream university in Africa. Right from the moment I
gained admission till right this very moment. I have not ceased to be amazed by
the amazing complexity of the school. Many of the
university's infrastructure are just jaw-dropping. I am yet to find a blemish
on the school's clean and beautiful scenery. I say it again and I say it with
conviction, Covenant University is beautiful.
I resumed
late so I missed out on the Orientation Program that
was held. Classes have been interesting, I have learned so much in one week,
and the lecturers are very friendly. Though the walking is a bit of a drag, I
feel over time I will get used to it.
The food is
to die for. Every day is another day to buy something new and explore the
different tasty treats I can find on campus. I haven't
bought a lot of stuff though because I am on a strict budget and try to spend
as little as possible, but sometimes 'man must wack'. So, I ignored my
conscience and bought one expensive treat that would cost me my lunch money for
two days. While eating it I felt all the joy in the world but once I was done, I realized I would have to skip eating for the
next 2 mornings or so. Still, the food here is awesome.
Today I
went to the stadium and did a lot of exercise. I
played basketball and football, stretched, flipped some
heavy tires, jogged, and sprinted. I didn't do enough
stretches before I sprinted, so I got a slight injury and it was a bit hard for
me to walk, I'm fine now though. Next week Saturday I plan to do the same until
I have a physically fit body that I can be proud of.
The church
services are so powerful. I enjoy myself in every single one. The choir is talented,
I say so because anytime they sing it's like my body
starts moving and dancing on its own. The Word is even better. Every time
Pastor Ola preaches, I feel like I am learning more and more
things to get closer to God and become a better Christian. By the end of this
semester, I hope that I will be more active spiritually than when I resumed in October.
If at all
there is anything I don't like about Covenant University,
it would be the hostels. My locker is seriously broken
so I can barely use it, most of my clothes are still in my traveling bag. And don't get me started on the bathrooms. Most of the doors are
broken and there's only one mirror that's still good;
the showers and taps are working well though. But that toilet, God forbid! If I
ever use that toilet before I graduate, I know my name is not Stephen.
Sometimes the toilet could be filled to the brim with
poop. Yes! POOP! One day it was so bad that some
students made a work of art infamously known as 'The Poop Sandwich'. Apparently, someone used the toilet, and instead of flushing
he left it like that. Another smart student came up with
the idea of covering up the poop with tissue paper and adding some more poop to
the mix. Soon there were 5 heavy layers of poop in one
toilet. One toilet!!! It was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in my life,
and I am still traumatized by it to date.
Covenant
University is an awesome school to be in no matter how
you look at it. So far, I've enjoyed the one week I
spent here, and I hope I will keep on having fun learning, discovering new
places, trying new foods, and making friends.
