I'm in Lagos now. I thought I would be excited but I'm just kinda blah. My house is empty of people and it just feels miserable. I miss my siblings. As much as they annoyed me they made my house feel lived in and filled it with laughter. Now it feels like... I dunno. A disused museum maybe.
I can't wait to start work, and I hope that I'll come home too tired every night to feel lonely.
It's been a rather unpleasant day all round, from finding out my boyfriend has again postponed his plans to return home to not getting the hairstyle I wanted and not being able to find anything I needed at the supermarket. Today brought home for me just how tough this year is going to be.
I'm not regretting my decision to return... It just doesn't feel like home yet.

Hey Girl, you just hang in there. It'll take a bit of time to get settled into a routine and things will get normal before you know it! Remember why you are there and get a vision for what you want to accomplish during your time in Nigeria, whether it's short term or indefinite. I'm sure you'll meet some great people. Don't worry about your bf. I know there's nothing like family and siblings, but just surround yourself with positive people. Naija is not easy. I visited there last summer for the first time. My journey was bitter sweet, as I was there for funeral, but I stepped into a new phase and understanding of myself and life. I'll have to visit there again on a brighter occasion. I wish you all the best and keep us updated. I love reading your blog and LITK! May Jesus bless you and be a friend to you in your times of loneliness! I don't know if your a praying person, but I'll be praying for you. Stay positive, or at least fake it till you make it, lol!
hey. U'll b ok. U cud look out for allternative stuff to use if u can't find what u need. U cud also try regular markets, u never know what u cud ffind. D bad thing tho is that they may go by diff names so u cud show them pictures. U cud get some of ur friends to live with u if u feel lonely. Jst a suggestion. Bt sometimes u will actually want to be alone.
