Sunday Corper 2

Intro

So it's a day late, but hopefully not a dollar short. Yeah I know I have a thing for crappy cliches. Anyway we return to our regularly scheduled program about the joys of the nysc camp. Basically this one is about my return to camp. Nothing spectacular I have to admit.

Registration Redux: Day 3
After the registration fiasco of day 1, I decided to skip day two and arrive on the third day for registration. If you arrive on the third day especially late afternoon or evening, you are probably going to do less queuing than anyone else. However your number one priority has to be securing bedspace. Trust me sleeping on the floor or out in the hall is not the way to go. However the thing to note is that though you will spend less time in queues you are also unlikely to finish that day and will have to endure the taunts of those that did come early and are done. Oh and the coordinators speech will be very interesting. From the way this one talked one would think half the girls on youth corp are pregnant and trying to hide it. Also she thinks that leaving the camp is all but impossible. Nothing much happens, you queue in futility for the day, talk to as many people as you can, bitch to as many people as you can, register or not if you can, go home or not if you can. The one thing to remember is that everything that has gone before today doesn't mean jack. Real camp starts tomorrow.

Unnecesary Qualification
I suppose I should first apologise for my penchant for high drama (I had to stop myself from using prediliction, so give the use of penchant a break.) There is nothing here that I would take back. If anything I underestimated their beliefs about pregnancy in nysc. I mean at one point they actually checked each girl on camp for a fetus. The other thing is that i actually believed that the stated last day of registration was the last day of registration. At least now you know.
