Term two part two (looking better so far than term one)

So if you have been following my blog, you would notice that my first term started off badly....in fact I do not think badly is a word i can use to describe it. The sickness, the stress, and then I went home which was a good move; do not regret it one bit. Prefer to be broke and sane than insane and money in my pocket

Anyway I have been very negligent in keeping up with the blogs because of the work I have to do. This term is the killing term. We have a research paper to do and i decided to take on the whole Caribbean to analyse in relation to human trafficking...............bad move, but trying to collate the information and present in a very objective way and not to focus on Jamaica.

Orchard Baptist has been good thus far, the people are very nice and encouraging and the pastor's and elders sermons 'sell off' each week.

My grades came back finally, and I must thank the lord for seeing me through and for making me do well even when i doubted myself and worried everyday. Stepping into faith that the others will be good and even with trials ahead I will prevail.

miss darling: is this homesickness already?

I went to my bed about 10pm last night as i was tired and wanted to wake up early to attack the reading. It has hot though and no the heater was not on, maybe is hot flashes teking me already in mi young days.

Anyway, i had a dream about my granny, miss darling. That she came to look for me and see if i was ok, that she even slept beside me and said dont worry everything will be ok. She looked young fresh and green too not sickly as she did before she passed. AH boi i was thinking is what this on me father lord, is this homesickness already and she come to take care of me.....this is nor funny.

Anyway had a good sleep after that though i must say. Got up made some nice breakfast and headed to the bank to sort them out because them mek mi waste 3 pounds trying to explain over the phone to them why mi cannot see the proper balance on my account.

Only to go in the bank to find out that the lady gave me the wrong account numbers as being savings and current and thus i have been using my savings account when i thought it was the current. In uk what they call current account is what we call savings account and savings in uk is just a little way of putting aside any extra.

so when u open an account u get two numbers one for saving one for current. U get a debit card which u can use to buy stuff online as well and a cheque book. so now i have to re-adjust my mind and be careful not to mix them up again. mi just kiss me teeth and walk out because the first impression of the bank is never good, but then again even in JA i always had bad experiences with banks.

Registration at Essex

As I suspected i missed my registration yesterday, all because I am too bright. As i stated the previous blog my registration pack states that School of Law registration is Tuesday Sept 30, Human Rights Wed, Oct one. Now i assumed that since my concentration is Human Rights then my registration is Wednesday, but as another bright friend of mine said to me, 'Luciana you are a lawyer not a human rights advocate, so your registration must be Tuesday'. Although at the time it seemed dumb when he said it, it kinda made sense only after my Admin told me i fall under the School of Law.

Anyway, after bussing some Jermaine Edwards in my room, i got ready and decided to go to the bank first then registration. Then i said since i am in so much do do for missing it yesterday let me go there first. Oh my word the line was longgggggggggggggggg, but the processes was straight forward, all through it i am like please nuh mek mi have no problems or i gonna go patois on somebody as i was too smart and they are too ambiguous so it is not my fault i missed it yesterday.

It was the opposite, it went smoothly i got my card and realised i hate the picture i sent in to go on my card, ohh welll.

Next stop the bank, that went well as well. Then i decided being miss previous to try and find all the lecture rooms that have been assigned as per timetable for this week, I did that and thought good idea ms previous.

At 1pm i went to multifaith room and had free lunch. This was nice as i met new people who are believers, i signed for christian union and jesus alive fellowship which is like an afro-cari christian group. After that i went back to my room for a cat nap and then to the library tour (pic of the outside added)....yes people i am trying to find my way around in the first week so that i am not lost to the business in crunch time. I also went to my faculty and introduced myself to the admin staff.

Well i am now in my room and i am going to sleep early as all that running up and down all over in nuff clothes get me tired and i have a long day tomorrow, induction to LLM, and my first seminar.
