Just Checking In

I think there is no greater feeling for a scholar than the feeling of finishing the end of semester examinations. It is such an exciting emotion! I couldn’t stop myself from grinning from ear to ear when I finally handed in my last paper. The thought going through my head was just “I need to sleep!” Oh that and also the fact that I need to feed and gain back some of the ‘merchandise’ I lost because of pulling early mornings and late nights with little or no time for meals on most days. {I used merchandise because I wasn’t sure I was allowed to

say derrière (fr) over the internet! LOL!}

And because of my school work, I have really slacked on my writing this month but hopefully I can change that because I’m going for my holiday at long last. Yeey! So I thought I should put up a post just to let you know what I am up to and from your comments, I can also find out how you are faring on as well. I got the idea of how to write this particular one from reading another blog online. Hehe, I hope I am able to present it as well as I saw it.

Google Student Ambassador Program Application {Now Open}

Well…This post is so long overdue I’m even getting embarrassed putting it out here at this particular moment! But I did some soul searching this morning to find out why I was slacking off in writing this particular one and I think it finally hit me! You see this is a kind of bitter sweet post for me and you are going to find out why in the next couple of minutes.

I am glad to announce that the Google Student Ambassador Program application is now open! Ok, it has been open for a couple of weeks now and I apologize for not telling ya’ll about it sooner. Part of this delay is caused by my tremendous workload but apart from that I can attribute the delay to the fact that this application going live only means that my tenure as GSA is almost coming to an end! And that, my good people, makes me a bit sad :(

Africa Connected: Success Stories Powered By The Web

Hey there! I hope your past week and weekend were good. However, I can’t possibly use that adjective to describe mine as that would be the understatement of the century!! This past week was the illest, it was happening, it was on point and it was out of this world…extra-terrestrial!! LOL, okay you get the point!

I had told you about the Africa Connected Web Summit and Africa Connected Youth Forum that were to take place last Tuesday and Wednesday but if you didn’t catch that post you can check it out here. Well, they did happen and there was no way I was not turning up. I promised to share with you what went down and I’m going to do just that. I can’t possible put everything into words so I will leave a lot of it to the photos. But they say a picture is worth a thousand words anyway so.…  Anyway, stick around, won’t you?
