Oceanofpdf is no more

As a books lover, this was my go to site whenever I needed to download a book. Seems like it has been nuked. I'm devastated.

I remember a few years back when I used to use a site called Anybooks, it was my favorite. It also got nuked. It took me a while to find a stable free site that would have all books that I wanted.

Seems every good thing eventually comes to an end. I guess I'll just wait it out until social media stops gatekeeping the next best free website for downloading books.

Pharmacy school

I was so excited to do a pharmacy course in 2019, little did I know what lay ahead for me. This is a course that has frustrated me both in University and after graduating, and at one point I regretted having done the course. The government frustrated us before being deployed for internship, during internship and after internship.

Anyways I'm proud to share today that I have officially obtained my pharmacist's license and am now authorized to supervise pharmacies.

National water😤

We have not had water at my place for 3 weeks(it has been on and off). National water has been playing games with us but the water has been coming back only some nights then disappears in the morning.

A girl I've been talking to for a month has decided to spend the night at my place. I'm now stressed because there's no water at all in my neighborhood and yet the girl is coming(she's a bourgeoisie). Water is like the bare minimum when someone is spending the night.

Luckily I had just refilled my jibu water so I poured the water in one bucket. I went and got another jibu and poured the water in the second bucket. The girl has to unfortunately use a bucket for showering.

Fingers crossed, I don't know how the girl is going to feel about this whole experience but what's for certain is that I'm fed up of this country and it's shitty services 😤😤

Absent father

My father has another family so I didn't grow up with him,I'm an only child who grew up with my mum. He used to come home every once in a while but when I grew up, those visits reduced. He wasn't around physically or emotionally but he always came through financially especially in terms of school fees so I've never defaulted school fees.

There were times my mum wasn't in the country, but my dad still couldn't come visit me in school however much the school was near his place. This made Visitation Days at school my worst days as I'd just break down from sadness since the only available parent in the country couldn't come through on the one day parents were expected to at least come check up on their kids.

He is wealthy but getting pocket money from him was always a hassle. I literally had to call him everyday of the week, without him picking up to request for pocket money. And when he sent, he'd send pocket money to last me a week, so I'd go through the same ordeal after a week. That was my life for the whole of my 3 years at campus. Luckily I had some hassles that would supplement my pocket money.

I'm grateful that he provided for me but I'm still pained by the fact that I was never part of his life, never met his side of the family , ever got to celebrate anything with him and he never picks up for most of my calls. The pain was worse when I was a kid and I thought I'd outgrow it but every once in a while, that pain comes back. I also still feel sad because the status quo is still the same and gave up on things ever changing for the best.

I don't know if this qualifies as trauma of some sort but I just want to heal and be indifferent to him.
