Chapter Six

Friday

I have a full day of classes today, and I'm not looking forward to it. I thought I had more time, but I barely slept last night for some reason and now I'm in a grumpy mood. My first class was at 9 a.m., and now it's 9:30. I'm never late, but I guess these are the changes I have to adjust to.

and i am not looking forward to it

The lecture hall was packed, with students filling every available seat and chatting about last-minute study tips and course material discussions. I slipped into an empty spot near the back, hoping to stay under the radar.

dem already a get pan me nerves and me over stimulate easily

The professor was already at the podium, diving into the day's topic enthusiastically, which only worsened my lack of sleep. I took out my notebook, trying to focus on the lecture, but my mind kept drifting back to everything.

By the end of the class, I was drained and eager to get away from the academic setting but I still had more classes today.

 Friday Evening

Miky: "Hey, belly woman!" Miky says as I drag my exhausted self through the apartment door.

Asha: "Hmm?" I barely mumble in response.

Miky: "Waamp?"

Asha: "Tink me did have a couple more months before me start feel like dis."

Miky: "Hush, me woulda invite yuh fi go out fi blow off steam, but... yuh know," she says, pointing at my belly.

Asha: "Girl, I don't need a man to get through dis."

Miky: "Strong, independent woman, me rate dat. Good luck, Bellymus," she says as she grabs her purse and closes the door behind her.

Weh she even come up wid dem name yah?

I grab a Drumstick ice cream from the fridge and walk to my room.

guess me affi settle fi dis yah nutty buddy yah

 Placing my bag at my desk, I sit on the edge of my bed and scroll through my phone for a minute as I finish my ice cream. I browse Instagram, watching the stories of my peers enjoying their Friday night.

 This has never really bothered me before—I'm a homebody—but something about not having the choice to do something I don't really do makes me feel a bit sad.

FOMO IS REAL TPC

I toss my phone on the bed and start playing some music on my iPad. Music helps me through so much; it's been my go-to for studying and relaxing. Even when I'm struggling with a concept, listening to music or taking a dance break helps.

I head into the bathroom and spend some time enjoying a shower and doing some skincare. I think about how I might need to change things up; I'm usually a shower girl, but maybe baths will be better soon.
