I PREPARED FOR CAMP JUST TO BE DISSAPOINTED 💔

I am definitely over it but I still feel like ranting about it here. Apparently, I ought to be actively packing for the orientation program at the NYSC camp. I wrote about this a few times in the last few days because I was initially scheduled to leave for the three-week camp tomorrow. Up till yesterday evening, no one knew the state that they will be posted to go, because they refused to release this document called 'call up letter'..

It's a document that states where the Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) will be assigned the states where they will be spending their service year. There was a lot of panic and complaints because time was not on our side and a lot of things remained unclear. Later yesterday night, call up letters were finally released. Due to the fact that a lot of people were expecting theirs, the traffic on the site was so much since everyone was accessing it at the same time.

I couldn't log in into my account on time and the few times I was able to, I didn't see any button that showed where I could download the call up letter. I didn't even see any other information, and it was the same for my brother's account. I told few people and they told me to just calm down because it might be the network. Meanwhile I was already hearing rumors that if we don't see our call up letter, it meant we had been moved to the next batch. It was a rumor so I chose not to believe it.

The network was really bad and I just decided that I would check again this morning. Guyss🥺 I woke up and checked my account, only to find this message:

I was not expecting that at all because I did my registration immediately the portal was opened and got my call up number that same day, same with my brother. I was more sad because of my brother; he had some plans he had to change because of this camp and they ended up doing that. It was actually very annoying and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

I mean, we had prepared to an extent! Let me just go and start eating my corn flakes and golden morn😂 It is like I was entirely feeling ready for the camp in the first place. I just wish I didn't stress myself with those preparations. So now, June is the next batch and although it feels so far away now, I am sure it will be here soon.

The silver lining of this whole thing for me is that I will have time to continue my business and there is this online course that I am taking as well. This time will make it possible to complete it without missing my assignments and lectures. So yeah, I am not pained. I just prepared for nothing, and that's okay🥲.

Thanks for reading❤️
