My Deen MY PROFESSION

Asrah pov

I woke up to the most annoying sound ever alarm…arrrragghh I turned it off. I went to bathroom did my business and came out to pray fajr, I then woke nafeesah and other Muslims roommate up and they did the same.
after prayer I did some recitations and then doze to the dreamleand …all thanks to nafisah loud shout that wake me up.

Me : nafisah what is it?

Nafisah: it ten minutes past Eight and you know we have lectures.

Oh is true we quickly dressup , my normal dress big veil and a straight skirt no makeup

Nafisah : oh God it 8:31 already…..

We walked as fast as we can .
We were late for the lectures the lecturer though allowed us in may be because that was his first lectures.

The lecturer: good morning class
Class: good morning sir (we all responded)

Lecturer: I’m Abdulmajeed Bankole Hamza, your mac111 lecturer, I hope we all could be friends and abide by our rules and regulations.

Class: yes sir

Lecturer : these are my rules, 1. I hate lateness, please make sure you all are here 5mins before my class, and 2. I hate noise okay.

Class : yes sir

Lecturer: you can all take down the course outline.

He dictated the outline and we all take it down.

After the class we went to the school mini-mart entered into a restaurant we both ordered for what we want, ate in silence. After eating we went back to the hostel.

*****
Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months... Nothing is more interesting as the semester is coming to an end, we are all preparing for the examinations.

Hostel

I was sitting on my bed reading my handout just then Nafisah entered and interrupted.

Nafisah: hey! girlfriend

Me: hy. where are you coming from?

Nafisah: I went to love garden. I was told jamb registration have comenced.

Me: and what is your business with jamb?

Nafisah: babe, I think I will be applying, am still interested in law walahi. Wont you?  Or have you forfeit your dream of becoming a lawyer?

Me: no dear law has always been my dream, but I have been applying severally and I wasn’t offered….

Nafisah: then you should give it a try for the last time. Let go and apply tomorrow. But I think I will be choosing usman Danfodiyo university sokoto. I was told they offer both come and Islamic law.

Me: no problem.

I think I will be applying without telling my dad hence there will be crisis (this girl awake the beast in me).

The exam was over and everything was fine, everyone is preparing for the semester break.
We have registered for the jamb and I will be writing mine during the break at Kaduna polytechnic.

I am very happy because I can’t wait to see my daddy and my partner in crime. And I was happy because I will be attending her graduation.

At home everything is moving well as expected I wrote my jamb in secret without any one knowledge at home. The result is out and I scored 289 I was very happy I called Nafisah and she told me she scored 260. We made it. We pray we will be offered our dream course.

The holiday ended very fast the school have resume and the semester was every fast, lectures, and tests. Assignment, presentations everything was just hectic.

We were on our way back to the hostel when Nafisah received a call from her cousin studying at usman Danfodiyo University and she was informed the admission is out. We were both panicking so we decide to reach the hostel before checking, we both walk as fast as we can.

When we got to the hostel we all checked and we were offered admission, unfortunately Nafisah was offered political science and I was offered common and Islamic law.

I was very happy but could not express it well because of my friend. But it seems she did not take it as anything she congratulated me and encourage me. She gave me a bone crushing hug.

I called my dad to inform him at first he was very angry and later he agreed and he sent me money to proceed my registration.

All my roommates congratulate me I started preparing for the trip to sokoto for registration in a week time
