CAMP DAY 2: BORING BUT PAINFUL

Slept in darkness and to balance it, woke up in darkness also. Like it's said, to every ***fortune, there is a blessing in disguise. So my new room requires you to bathe in the open, toilet also somewhere open too, so I woke up early and did so. As one ready to take part in the daily activities, I left early for the training ground, minutes before they chased us out. 

The morning drills began 5 sharp, the mind was alert but the body was still asleep, so I was a step backward to every command. I guess this was a general problem over the years as a long morning exercise was conducted, it was full time fun for me. This was right after we were taught the scheme's anthem and also after recitation of the National Anthem (when Buhari wakes up).

Today I found out what is called NYSC Bread, that Agege bread, this bread ehn is as small as 3 slies of bread. Anyways that was our breakfasts part of part of the package. Lunch was not so better as we were served my normal Belleful Amala size but the soup is meant to be Ogbono but I'm pretty sure it is water mixed with mud. I really don't care though, I ate it and made sure I enjoyed this part of the camping.

So the trainings today were geared towards our swearing in tomorrow and we trained and trained and trained till my toes gave up the ghost(whoever said rubber shoe was best for camp was specially trained by Lucifer in the deceit trade, rubber shoes are practically the worst set of shoes for training.). I literally had to perform CPRs for my toes and kept it alive by marching shoeless). 

I really wonder whether these guys don't get any type of English-formal training or they just intentionally make sure we  don't understand what they are saying. Just like medical Doctors giving you drug descriptions, you would have to recode your eyes to decipher what was given. I think they do it intentionally though because I caught them saying 'Bread without Buns, about turn' so many times.

Even when a guy was questioned earlier in the day about his glasses, he was asked whether it was 'Medicated glasses'. Come on we all know it is called Recommended glasses now.

I was mistakenly talking with a guy during our 5 minutes break, the guy is good at the Military activities, so I was called alongside the guy to start special training. I must confess it was stressful cause I was meant to be resting oh, but I convinced myself that I liked it.

‎We met the state co-ordinator today and she said a couple of things which I think are somewhere stuck in my brain. 

Dinner was Unilag type of Spag. 

Any ways, today was basically the routine training and Demo for tomorrow's swearing In. We are going to stand under the sun for so many hours tomorrow, Chai, so many speeches and they said even if snake passes I should not move. Lmao

God Bless Nigeria.
