In my mind's eye right now

I have decided to start my doctorate program in October via a distance learning program. I chose the topic earlier in the year when I made my application to a different school but didn’t pursue it because it required me to do a complete MSc program before embarking on the doctorate program. I don’t need 2 Msc’s thanks but no thanks.

So the topic I have picked is ‘the impact of hr practices on employee commitment;’ what do you think? My dear I don’t even know any more.

Anyway, the first 2 years is taught and theoretical so I am almost certain I will have changed the topic by the time i am ready for the research bit.

This week is looking like it will be laid back one. Nothing concrete in the pipeline but like I always say I’m still excited because something wonderful always comes up. I wonder what it will be this week. hmmmmm

I have just been invited swimming in Ikoyi club by my friend Steve. Steve and I have been swimming in before. In fact about a year ago he was supposedly teaching me how to swim, I say supposedly because he appeared to have other motives then. But then he was single and now he is married. I am wondering why it seems so awkward right now to accept this invitation to swim. Swimming is such a contact sport don’t you think? I am laughing here. Am I being over analytical here? We have been friends for years and he is by no means a temptation to me and if I am to him well that is his business. These are some of the reasons why I say it’s a man’s world. I don’t think the average married woman would think to invite her single male friend swimming in a club. Maybe I am just being naïve or clueless.


Now if I turn down this invitation, Steve will say I am giving a silly reason afterall we are friends and he is married now not that he developed leprosy. Anyway, it’s a man’s world. It’s becoming more obvious that I am a 17th century girl in a 21st century world!

I am trying really hard to be more flexible as a person and not be rigid blah di dah, without compromising principles, so my dear, I am going swimming o. Bye!

  1. Funny how you turned your argument into an 'it's a mans world' thing..

    Can't say I see the relevance, but it'll be interesting to hear what happened..
