The Diary Game: Waiting For School Resumption Date [27/04/2026]

Hello everyone, it's @demigodsms, I will love to share another episode with you all about my school resumption. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but waiting for poly resumption date was a serious type of stress. School went on break since March. At that time I was happy. Finally, I fit so relaxing. So i traveled home, slept well, ate my mama’s food. Life was sweet. Then after match passed. April came. May was getting close. Now every morning I open my phone and check our whatsapp school group chat like it’s my daily job, to avoid missing any lessons and assignments. I always used to ask “Any update on resumption?” “Make help me to ask course rep.” “is there any school post?”

Nobody knows anything. The SUG page only posts motivational quotes. The school website was still showing academic calendar will be communicated soon. The problem is I can’t plan my life. My guy wants me to join him for one small business in warri. Though the money was good. But what if school resume next week? I will lose both ends. My mom keeps asking, “When are you going back to school?” I just smile and say “very soon, mummy.” Inside me I’m screaming. And also the money part too. Hostel rent, handouts, project money, feeding and pocket money too. I really need to gather cash before resumption. But how do you gather cash when you don’t know if you have 2 weeks or 2 months? That was my thinking, If I spend this money now and school resumes tomorrow, I’m finished. If I keep it and school delays till October, I’m just broke for nothing.

Some of my course mates have started learning skills. Some where doing barbing, others are into POS and other things too. Me, I’m just here refreshing my portal every day as if it will change my destiny. The worst part is that I use to dreams. I dreamt last night that I got to school and they said exam is next week. I woke up sweating with shock. Honestly, poly life will teach you patience by force. You plan, school shifts. You relax, school surprises you. That's just the truth. For now, I’ll just keep doing side hustle and hope. When the date finally drops, we move. Until then, we wait. Life in poly is really not easy. May God help us.
