Ok, so Business Economics module is done and dusted. Yayyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!! Now the wait begins again for another module to open up for registration. There is no set time for the wait. If my memory serves me correctly, I think I have waited for 6 weeks after completing one module for another to open up for registration. This kain wait is somehow o! Little wonder the programme is about 24 months long. Without this long waits, I'm sure the MBA programme would have been for 12 months. You know that kind of long wait that you totally forget that you're studying online. When the module registration notification drops in your email, you'll be wondering which year it is. Mtchewwwwww!
I hope this wait won't be that long though.
Meanwhile, there's this really nice Kenyan lady in my online class...an agreeable person with no sharp angles sticking out. We have had a couple of chats to rub minds on some topics. Lately she asked me if I was on BBM and requested for my pin. Instantly, I remembered an ex-colleague who asked for my BBM pin and another told him that wasn't wise, as I'll get to know his every move. Oh, like telling me you're off sick and your display picture shows you're somewhere turning up?
Back then, years ago, I was of the opinion that BBM was for friends and family and Whatsapp for gbogbo ero? Well, not anymore, as I am rarely on both platforms for obvious reasons and it is open to all.
A quick question though, do you think it's proper/ok to have your lecturer/boss on your BBM chat list? Back then, that other colleague didn't think it was, and discouraged the other from requesting for it.
What do you think?
Till next week Sunday, God willing...to my young, single blog readers...

I created a Whatsapp group for my department which included student trainees. And it's been great, even though my attempts at stopping my staff from calling me "sir" on that platform yielded nothing. Whether it's on BBM or WhatsApp, I see nothing improper about it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea...creating a group chat. I like that. Thank you for your comment.
DeleteWhether BBM or WhatsApp, it has little or nothing to do with the nature of the relationship.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, it is just a matter of who uses what!
I have never had a BB in my life so if I were your family/friend, you would probably have to wait forever to get me on BBM. :-)
We (my former secondary school mates) have this group on WhatsApp and I just joined in December and it has proven to be a platform for renewing connections and remaining a part of one another's lives. I used WhatsApp only occasionally before then.
I also belong to two other groups, one for siblings and the other for some study committee in church.
Many thanks for your comment Temiloluwa.
