Guess who's back...

Hey people!!!! sorry i should probably be saluting you as tourists! How do you all get time to travel!!! When????? This is not fair!! Sijui mara Dennis goes to his relas town to take the kids to Disney world (was it) [by the way its a far cry from my relatives who are almost all found within a 20km radius of each other in shugs! lol!]- mara Charlene travels to which part of which town- Thomas flies to some town and drives back (which would probably mean- pun intended- that at some point he could afford the luxury of a flight but then got hit much later that aaaah! there's a road that gets there- Thomas, by the time we meet i trust you'l have forgoten my curt vibe lol!) then Chris calls me to tell me how he's traveling with his ex (for some strange i didnt attempt to understand). But again, i mustn't be envious! Which of u was almost suffocated in your grandmother's smoky hut? lol! Its really nice that u guys get to travel alot- i bet it has some restful effect and the change of scenery must be beneficial (it best be!)

Man the last weeks have been pretty busy. (I must capture this passing thought before it vanishes) I met Anthony Kamau gallavanting- as Mr Njau aptly described Anthony's motions in class 7, anyone remember?- in town right from campus. He's doing well but still looking kidogo dishevelled and rugged (man, he'l kick my backside when he sees this!). I mean him absolutely no disrespect- surprisingly i had and still have tremendeous respect for his intellect and reasoning capacity, which albeit the fact that it didnt shout out loud, i do take take cognisance of.
Yes, back to my last weeks. I was busy studying for a take away assignment that we were forced to redo because the lecturer, who taught us the particular unit about 1.5 years ago, lost our scripts and informed us only this year (i must have grumbled about this earlier!). So that kept me off the net for a while, then i had to prepare for some International Law Moot Court (Intercampus) which i was initially was taking part in justfor the certificatethat would be issued after the preliminaries. Surprisingly, the judges thought i had some skill albeit the fact that i had to confess that i hadn't researched for any authorities (cases decided by the International Court of Justice) to support any of the propositions i was ferociously putting across. Man i felt embarrased- i fell short of asking them not to refer to any cases. "Are you suggesting that the Nicaragua case is not of relevance to the Republic's claim?" "Do you want this esteemed court to listen to your bare-chested arguments?" I was humbled! But at the end they semad that the liked my poise even in the brutally poorly researched submissions i made.

Our results for our second LLB year were finally released a record 14 months after the exams- so i'm probably not going to cry or stalk and stab a lecturer for any bad results (because i might not remember who taught me what!). Man they were bad, but for the fact that almost the whole class appears keen to accumulate averages of Cs and Ds and spots of As and Bs- i feel pretty consoled. Apparently there was a student who went to the exam office to inquire on his results breakdown and he was politely told- in a bid to save everyone's time- ' You have all Ds". The shocked student then replies "Sorry, i didnt get you right.." The exam clerk quickly retorts" D for dog, D for desk, D for disaster and 9 more Ds!" Yeah D for DAMN!!!! Sad story right? some guys do that bad... so i feel pretty accomplished with my slightly better grades. Trust me, in our campus it takes strength not to get complacent.

Thomas, i'm anxious to hear what you think about Life after death.. throw it on!

Dennis, wash those dishes. You'll catch cockroach diseases! ie. the cockroaches will fall sick because of the dirt in the dishes and their sickness will be transmitted to your (healthy??) body. lol!!! Are you through with your Continuing Ed classes?

Charlene, did i mention how gorgeous you looked in the red dress/gown. Man! You are truly ageing gracefully!!!!

Hey guys, i must run or i might get fired! Do stay alive and be good. And go to church!!!!!

Kibet
