Where do I start

100 days countdown

Hey folks... hope everyone is doing well. I have been rather busy rounding up this phase of my life. As exciting as this phase has been, it's brought with it certain challenges.

A couple of years ago when I started this blog, the idea was to chronicle my Pre-Business School experience and experience during the program. Moving to a new city, especially one I had never been to prior to the start of my program brought about more challenges than I could imagine or prepare for. I have always been known as an adventurous person with an inquisitive mind and I must say this experience has tested the core of my being and I must say I'll truly cherish this experience.

When I moved into this city, this blog acted as the support system I needed. I've made a number of friends, had an opportunity to share with some, been more educated through what I've read from some sites, been challenged to be a better person through experiences shared by others, been amazed in terms of how diverse we as a people are based on our thought, creativity and how we share those in our stories, had an opportunity to meet in person a couple of people on here. In all it's been a great experience.

As with everything in life, there comes a time to re-assess and reflect on certain things we are involved in...I am a very passionate person and I tend to drive my decisions based on how passionate I am about what it is I am involved in...of late, it's been a struggle finding that passion to share my experiences on here as much as I'd like...there are a variety of reasons which could account for this but I choose not to delve into those for now.

In 100 days (by God's Grace), I'll be graduating from Business school and since this blog was put together to chronicle that experience, it's only right to close this blog at that time.

I have totally enjoyed this experience and as such for the next 100 days, I'll feature or write about blogs that have influenced me greatly. This is my way of thanking those bloggers for the impact they make in lives without truly knowing.

Let the celebrations begin!!!!!!!!!!

    I wouldn't throw away such good material if I were you. It could morphe into a blog about your new career and stuff. That way it will be more rounded what do you think.
    How about making it less personal too, then you would not have the urge to divulge too much info about yourself.

    Mehnnnnnnnnn, can't believe my "accountable partner" is about to leave.

    It has been great reading your posts. Sometimes, I read some and I am convinced you are my twin, separated at birth, cos we sure have the same view on a lot of issues.

    Hope you find her soon. If only you were a Yoruba man, I could have applied to be her, but... (lol).

    Have fun and stay blessed!

    hiya,
    This is in regards to the blog "Valentine Post-Mortem Part 1". sorry was late, but i must really say that was a great piece. But the question is would u be with a lady who dated multiple guy and she reveals all?.

    I can't thank you guys enough for your comments and well wishes ...
    Madam Diamond i am not running because of our office visit ooo...
    Bijou be sure i'll complete the write-up before I leave.

    Shola..thanks for dropping by...the answer to your question is YES BUT only if I am sure that's all in her past and she has taken steps to show that. I am a firm believer that when you make a decision to follow Christ, you become a new creation...your past remains there...PAST! ...it's only right and fair since I can't claim I was a saint prior to receiving Christ. I would rather court a babe who isnt ashamed to reveal her past than one who hides her past only for me to find out later on..it will be hard trusting her after that.
