A Day of Lectures, Locked Doors, and Laundry: My Tuesday Diary [25-11-25]
Hello Steemians and friends,💕
I hope everyone is having a productive week so far. Today, I want to take you through a day in my life as a student here in Nigeria. It was a day filled with the highs of learning, the lows of unexpected frustrations, and the calm of winding down with chores.
Come with me as I share how my day went at Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu Polytechnic, formally (Abia State Polytechnic).
The Morning Grind: Business Mathematics
My day started with high energy. I arrived at the lecture hall early, ready to tackle the day's academic work. We are currently diving deep into our course work in the Accountancy Department.

Our first lecture was intense but insightful. As you can see from the board, we were dealing with Quadratic Equations and the theories behind them. The lecturer was taking his time to break down the factorization methods and formulas. I made sure to pay close attention because, in Accountancy, if you miss the basics of calculation, you miss everything.
The focus was real as the lecturer broke down the equations.
We got to the hall only to realize that the door was locked. To make matters worse, the key was nowhere to be found. It was honestly so frustrating! Imagine being ready to learn, but a simple piece of metal is stopping an entire class.
Students standing around, confused and waiting for a solution.

We stood in the corridors for quite a while. You can see the look on everyone's faces—waiting, hoping the key would magically appear, and eventually just chatting to pass the time. I took a moment to snap a quick selfie while we waited; you have to keep the morale high even when things aren't going to plan!
While waiting, I took a shot of our departmental environment. This is the Accountancy Department compound. Despite the stress of the locked door, I must admit, our school environment has a certain vibe to it.

A Visit to My Formal Workplace
Eventually, after the school drama died down, I decided to head out. I went down to my former workplace to say hello to my old colleagues and clear my head.
Walking in there brought back memories. It’s a tech & design environment, and as usual, the place was buzzing. Everyone was glued to their screens, busy designing graphics and working on projects.
Since they were all so busy, I didn't want to disturb the workflow too much. I just found a spot, sat down, and rested for a bit. It was nice to be in that cool environment (literally and figuratively) with the green walls, just observing the hustle without being the one doing the work for a change.
Back to Reality: Lunch and Laundry
After getting some rest, I headed back home. I had a quick lunch to recharge my battery because I knew the day wasn't over yet. There is one chore that waits for no man: Laundry.
I changed into something comfortable, brought out my buckets, and got to work. There is something surprisingly therapeutic about washing clothes by hand. It gives you time to think. As I scrubbed my black t-shirts and rinsed them in the metal bucket, I reflected on the day—from the math equations to the annoying locked door.

It’s not the most glamorous part of the day, but staying clean and taking care of your personal items is a sign of discipline. Plus, there's a satisfaction in seeing a bucket full of clean, wet clothes ready to be dried.
That was my Tuesday in a nutshell. It wasn't a perfect day, but it was a productive one. We faced obstacles at school, reconnected with old friends at work, and finished strong with household duties.
Thanks for reading through my diary game today!
