My first day & things....

Just finished watching the Dallas Mavs v. Miami Heat NBA finals game 1 and as much as I'm trying to form team "may the better team win," Lord knows I'd love to see Mavs whopping some Heat butt..it's the least they can do for me after what they did to my Laker :). Sha, it's only game 1 so I'm keeping hope alive for game 2. If Mavs lose game 2 then #izallover for them, they need to bring out more athletic ammunition than they brought out for my Lakers hehe..shey they wanted NBA Finals nah, 'cos we all know that Miami Heat aren't gonna go down without some serious fight.

Anyway, enough of my NBA talk. So, 9 months into my intense legal training & information load (I refuse to call it overload) and making it through my first year of law school, I donned on my lawyerly attire for my first day as a legal intern.
I had a good day putting some of the skills and knowledge I've gained in the last couple of months to actual use though..it felt nice to be calling some shots however small hehe..but the things some human beings do shaaaaa dang! The lawyers I worked with were very friendly too, even the top boss, I was quite surprised..very nice people, gave me the opportunity to do a lot of things on my first day.

Just now trying to get a full hang of this zone I moved to..not like I really have a choice sha but I'll try and start loving it. I attended a conference about 2 weeks ago and trust that the only black people to show up for the conference were Africans. There were 5 of us, 4 of us were Nigerians :) was nice though, got to meet with some interesting and smart folks and made some new connections.

I had a funny discussion about relationships with my bro yesterday, he had some choice words for some of the men and women in naija these days especially the ones in Lagos heheee..things are happening in that city o. I was trying to prevent him from setting himself up for a heartbreak but he seems to have it all figured out..

Some of my neighbors, who happen to be African-Americans, are crazy about jollof rice (no kidding). They hang around with so many Nigerians, one of them even has the old naija N20 currency..had to cook some jollof for them recently and y'all needed to have seen how excited they were. One of them told me sometime back "you see, we don't have jollof rice in America, it's hard to come by so when we find it we have to go hard!" Lol.

I think I've yapped on enough, you all have a good week and be good :)
