Why do we humans enjoy placing obstacles, totally unnecessary ones at that before our fellow humans?
I had planned to write a post unrelated to the theme of this blog, but I can't, not yet, it is still too painful, I have not wrapped my mind around it yet, but I will write it, and I may just ramble.
Anyway, about obstacles, my last post talked about a ray of light, I went to Unilag today to follow that ray of light into the sunshine of getting my results prepared and the transcript sent off to my prospective school.
Lo and behold, the current PG co-ordinator, who by the way was equally a masters student when I was one, told the sub dean that she cannot use the result sent to her by the former PG coordinator, simply because it was not signed.
Even the sub-dean was like - why are women so strict unnecessarily?
and his guest said, that is why men will not allow women to become the president, I was too frustrated to articulate a response - I was in tears, tears of frustration!
Anyway, I am to return, yet again, this evening. The dean was not around, he will be back in the evening.
The sub-dean has vowed to follow through.
God help me!

A ray of light...it is good to keep in touch
Hmn, like I said, Unilag will not truncate my hustle.
But, there is a ray of light, perhaps a brief background is necessary.
As an undergraduate, I had a good rapport with a number of my lecturers, and as a masters student, I continued with those who were still around, only one of them. After finishing, I kept in touch, calls, some visits etc.
He left too, which means everyone who taught me has left, at least all the people I had a rapport with.
So, the issue with my transcript is that some documents were damaged in my department, and our results were part of it. I was FRUSTRATED! Because, all the lecturers had gone to different parts of the globe, Jos, Botswana, Heaven.
Anyway, I had a brainwave, I called the man whom I had the greatest rapport with, he is the one in Jos and as God would have it, he was also the postgraduate coordinator in my set.
I let him know straight away it was not a social call and explained my dilemma to him, he wad full of empathy and promised to check his system (thank God for forward looking lecturers.) and asked me to call him the next day.
I called and HALLELUYAH! he found it, and had sent it to the current PG coordinator.
Now, it remains to get a hold of the current PG coordinator and encourage her to prepare the broadsheet and send to PG school to be sent to Records office (can you imagine the maze?)
As soon as I have a breather, am off to Unilag again, my enrollment advisor has been calling me
