In a Matter of Weeks!

Dear diary, this past week was a wonderful one that did not just entail learning and preparing for tests, but one that came with the reality that the semester will be over in a matter of weeks. Sincerely though, I would be unfair not to tell you about the awesome week I just had. I've been going to classes, making notes, and getting ready for upcoming tests bit by bit. Like every other one, the week started with me attending my classes. It's been great to be experiencing the final days within the four walls of the school, seeing my lecturers teach me for most probably the very last time. Attending classes with my classmates for what I'd call the last time has been surreal. I'm learning new things every day, and it feels amazing to have grown into this learning journey.

Being a final-year philosophy student, every day is an adventure. I've been attending my classes diligently, immersing myself in the world of deep thoughts and intriguing ideas. It's fantastic to be in school, surrounded by my professors, lecturers, and fellow students. We're all on a journey of exploration and discovery. One of the things I've been doing is forming notes. It's like making a summary of what we've all learned in class. It helps me remember things better. I write down the important stuff in my own words, so I can review it later. Making notes has made studying so much easier.

Now, here's the part where reality hit me. I realized that tests are getting closer. It's like a lightbulb moment when you suddenly realize, "Oh, I have to show what I've learned!" The thought of upcoming tests is a bit scary, but it's also a reminder that I need to keep studying and preparing. I mean, there's an unction that God bestows. I'll need to do my part, but He's always faithful with His part.

I realized that the exams were drawing nearer. As a first-year student, the pressure is on, and the thought of those tests can be a tad intimidating. It's like a sudden realization that all the knowledge I've accumulated over the years is going to be put to the test. But you know what they say, "the only way out is through."

There you have it, that has been my week - attending classes, creating my own philosophy notes, and gearing up for my final exams at the University of Ibadan. It's a beautiful journey of learning, and the fact that the exams are approaching is slowly but surely sinking in. It's both exciting and a little nerve-wracking, but God is by my side and I'm ready to embrace the challenge. After all, it's all part of the adventure of being an undergraduate.

Dear diary, wish me luck!
