Longest time

12/02/2007
Dear Adriel,
Sorry for the lapse again. I have not had time to sit down and have a chat with you for a while and its my fault. i have gotten so busy with school. Oh well, I want to let you know that have taken up swimming as well. I go to Ikeja hotel to swim once in two weeks - without my Mum finding out of course. You know how she hates swimming, after losing a cousin in the pool. Never mind that it was a local pool and there was no life guard.
Anyway, I should perfect my back stroke next week, then I will move on to the butterfly stroke, and the crawl. I had this fantasy of representing Nigeria for water ballet in the Olympics. Fantasy right?
JAVA is keeping my mind occupied, and I am not feeling any pain - during the day anyway. The fact that my mates are serving and I am trying to keep my mind occupied comes creeping on me just as I am about to sleep.

Then I heard another classmate of mine is getting married. At 22. Cool, right? Wrong! She is marrying a 33 year old man who just wants to settle down - or so the gossip vine says. She looks happy, and that is all that matters - for now.

I gotta go, Adriel. Will try to ensure that the gaps are not too wide.
