The Diary Game - [14-05-2024] Going To Lafia To Write An Examination

When it comes to writing an examination we always prepare ourselves ahead of time to make our performance an outstanding one, because failure is not a good word. Since the beginning of May, I have been busy preparing to write my professional examination with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria ICAN.

My examination was scheduled to take place by 1:45 pm at Almakura Hall, Lafia Federal University which is far from where my based. For me to be at the exam venue on time, and collect my docket, I woke up every early in the day which is around 6 am, prayed, went to the bathroom bath, came out dressed up, and went to the motor park.

As I got to the motor park, I saw a vehicle that was going to Lafia directly and entered inside which the driver charged me ₦1,500 (3.7 STEEM). The drive from where I entered a vehicle to the place I stopped at Lafia is just a 45-minute drive which is 40km.

The vehicle that carried me from Akwanga stopped me, at the Lafia general park, where I came out and entered the tricycle to the office of my mentor who always provided me with relevant information. I met my mentor and collected my docket from him before I went to the examination venue. The docket is what permits a student to enter the examination hall.

As I went to the hall so I could know the venue since it was my first time writing the examination, I was told by one of the invigilators to drop my phone and wristwatch somewhere else. Phones, wristwatches, and other gadgets aren't allowed inside the examination. Knowing this rule and as there was still time for the examination to start, I went to a mini restaurant and ate Egusi soup.

After eating the food, I rested and pleaded with the seller to help me and keep my phone and wristwatch in her custody. It was a difficult decision that I took, giving someone I know for the first time my phone and wristwatch to keep for me, until after the examination.

The woman agreed and kept it safe for me, I then went back to the venue around 12:30 pm, met, and interacted with some students while we were all waiting until 1:45 pm. As soon as it became 1:30 pm, everyone who came for examination was called to enter the hall and advised to drop anything that could implicate the person.

At exactly 5 pm the examination came to an end,, I submitted my paper, and left the examination hall thanking God for how everything went. I came out of the school gate and took a tricycle to Chicken Republic restaurant so I could eat.

There was been a delay at the restaurant that I went to eat at, and looking at how fast time was going, I changed my order for a takeaway rice. I hate the night journey which is the reason I ordered for takeaway. After collecting the food I bought it in the restaurant and went and took a taxi to Akwanga. While going as the vehicle stopped, I bought bread on the road.

At Akwanga I took my motorcycle to my apartment Immediately I reached home, I bathed before eating the food that I bought from Chicken Republic. After eating, I couldn't do anything during the night because of how tired I was, so I just went to bed and slept off.
