Greetings everyone!,
I hope everyone is doing fine and has had an amazing and wonderful weekend. This is probably my first time posting in this community. I have wanted to post here for a while however i was unable to due to my tight schedule as a student at school. Today i’m here to share with you how i managed to survive a challenging semester.
As we all know it the journey to success is not a straight road, there are always ups and downs that will prepare you for what’s coming next. This semester undoubtedly is the one that came with a lot of stress and challenges. One of them was the fact that we were in the month of Ramadan and as muslims it is incumbent on to as to fast. Fasting in Navrongo is a real test, the temperature could go as far as 45 degrees. So you can imagine how scorchy the sun will be. My hostel to the lecture hall is about a 20 mins walk. So going back and forth from hostel to lectures in a single day was very tiresome.
I’m in my final year and as final year student we expected to pick any project of our choosing and work on them. And we are supposed to meet our project supervisor on regular basis to receive updates on how we should go about the project. Some students are lucky enough to get posted to lecturers who are very serious with what they do. Whiles others like me get paired with the lazy ones. That will allow you walk all the way to the lecture hall only for him to tell you he is not comming. This has been his daily routine at some point i was just feed up and nearly requested for a change of supervisor.
Just when i taught we were finally going to write our exams and come home, the examination committee hit us with a “killer timetable” giving as almost no space to breath after writing the papers. We were to writing 4 papers in 5 days. For the first week which also happened to be the last week of the Ramadan. And two papers in the second week. A week were we won’t be observing the fasting how ironic is that?.
Instead of us probably writing the 4 in a week we won’t be fasting and the two papers the fasting week. But rather no, they choose to do it the other way round. Sometimes i just think they want to see students suffer or something. I just dont understand.
Finally i get to rest after all these stress. It wasn’t easy but i thank God for the strength to pull through. I’m planning on working on my project whiles i’m at home that way i don’t have to get all stressed up in my final semester. Well this is basically how my semester was i hope yours was different. And i would love to hear how yours went in the comment section. Thank you.
