SHADES OF GRAY... Dear Diary.

      My alarm goes off at 5 am in the morning...
God knows that is way too early for someone with my lifestyle. But I set it on repeat in case I might want to change my mind. That is yet to happen though, but someday... Someday.

      I finally wake up 3 to 5 hours later. Usually I've already missed my early morning class but I'm not really bothered. It's late morning so I've escaped the shower traffic. I take my time in the shower, unless I feel I'm really late for something which doesn't happen quite often, a girl gotta be clean, you catch my drift. The corridor to the bathroom is probably filled with people at that time so I walk out in some fashion and they are all staring. Do I blame them? Not really.

    My clothes for the day are picked out with strategy. Those that do not require ironing are worn often. Those that don't need much work are in the their own pile. Sometimes when I'm feeling really good, I iron. Most of those clothes are still new though. I never run out of cool earrings to go. Got these really huge loops that I love but my mum totally hates. If I'm feeling extra lazy, It's just shorts and silver loops and I'm good to go.

     When I do get to class, I always take the back seat. I don't know why, but I find it rather comfortable. No one staring at my back for 3 hours. I write notes when I want to and I don't when  don't want to. I must say though, most of the time I actually want to. It's weird, I know. At this point Augustine tells me there is an assignment that is being handed in. I dint have time to think. So I copy his... Don't judge me, you do it too! Guess what, today I stayed till the end of the class!

      God bless the brother that invented noodles. Only takes 3 minutess to cook and all I need is hot water. It's like he foresaw my birth when he thought that up. I eat noodles until I'm out of clean tins then it's time I decided to do the dishes. FYI, I can cook. Really good food actually, but I only do so when I have to. Say I'm at home with my mother and she tells me to do so. You realise that I happen to do a lot of things only when I have to.

       *Sigh*… Basketball! I love this game man.
The energy and spirit involved is just awesome, you feeling me? The jumping up and down, passing the ball, dribbling and DAMN! Did you see that? I just made a three pointer! I am D.Rose up in here!


        I'm building to the point where it's 5 p.m. and Nyach has probably texted guys to show up for practise. I can hear Wanja yelling my name from the bottom of the stairs. I'm not answering her because I'm probably pretending I'm not home. You see I just did my nails and we don't want to ruin that. They are really pretty. So no basketball for me today.

         My fingers are spread out on the table, chilling for that crazy green polish to dry, and I'm staring at a movie on my laptop, waiting on the world to change. I might get up and make noodles for supper or just move the laptop to a chair and watch the movie from my bed, or maybe go upstairs to Juveh's for some company. Well, I take the easier option and my bed it is.

……. I'll start over tomorrow. Perhaps something might change.
