School is a bit boring since lectures have been halted. Lecturers have been on strike for three weeks now for Salary increment.This time, they want to see something in their accounts before resuming. This has affected studies and other activities on campus. Almost half of the student population have gone home.I have chosen to stay and use the opportunity to study my notes because no matter what, we shall write exams. It is also a good time for completing all my assignments and research proposals.Above all I can visit the beach for a good time of refreshing.This is my first semester in level 300 and my course load has reduced a bit. I now have enough time to study courses outside my program such as Data Analysis using SPSS. This course will be very useful to me in level 400 when I will have to do my project work. I think I can even earn money from it by analyzing data for other people so that I can get back what I am paying to learn.Gradually SmartKids Foundation is producing self supporting individuals. I am so much in love with the vision of the foundation because I strongly believe that education is the equalizer in any aspect of life.If the world wants to deal with poverty then it should consider education.
