Vals Day in the Mud.

A brief recap

Shey it’s by force to be oppressed on Valentine’s Day. I know it’s been a week already but I just have to tell this story.

Valentine’s Day was close and I decided beforehand that I wasn’t going to be oppressed. After all, the people on my contact list were as single as I was.

As usual I had a plan for that day- go to the lab, watch cartoons till I drop, eat, sleep, check twitter and “awwn” till I’m tired, eat, sleep. That was going well until I received a call to pick up a package from a logistics company beside my school. Ahahnn, me like this? Single Pringle?!?

Of course I did a quick scan through potential talking stages and I cancelled them as quickly as I thought of them. Then I remembered that my friend who claimed to be single with me had previously told me to pick up a package for her on the 14th.

I shamelessly dressed up faster than ever and waited for my roommate to do the same. Off to the lab and then to pick up the package.

On my way to the lab the delivery guy called and said he was at the gate. Long story short he was at the wrong gate and when he finally got to the college gate he called, asked where I was. “I’m at the college gate, where are you?” “What are you doing there?” Then I heard a bunch of people laughing hysterically.

It was then it dawned on me that I had been pranked. Emi???!!!! But why?! I’ve been staying in my lane or was someone from the past haunting me? The speed at which I ended the call was faster than Kuroko’s ignite pass Kai! (Kuroko no basket). Day of love in the mud. Anyway I just laughed and cried to my Snapchat babies.

I found out later on that I wasn’t the only one and I felt somewhat relieved. Apparently some of my juniors got my number from wherever and thought it wise to do that. Perhaps next year I’d have something better to occupy myself with.

My life lately has been so boring. I wonder why.

People born on 14th how does it feel to not actually have a birthday?😂 The Valentines package organisers this year were more than the lovers. Everything was for him or for her. They left us singles alone. I think if I had seen a package curated for singles or something related to self love I’d have bought one for myself. Vendors do better! Anyway I gave myself a gift and felt really good.

Speaking of gifts, I have the sweetest friends. So you know how the book of the month is Atomic Habits yeah? Between the last letter and now I’ve received two copies from my friends. I got one as an early birthday present and another for Vals day😭. Sweet💕

Book Update: I’ve spent more time watching Kuroku no basket than I have reading the book. I honestly might not finish it before the month ends but we’d see how that goes.
