LAUGHING GAS

Hello lovers, I hope you had a lovely day coupled with the lovely rain. As for me, I feel cool taranranranra. You do not need to correct my lyrics.😇

It has been a long time since I last posted on "Variety Thursday" session. Oh well, I have glad tidings. I would be throwing back to a funny event that happened ten years back. I know you just screamed, lol. I do have a good memory.

Now, imagine the little version of Mobola in a pink check house wear coming into the hostel wearing a tired face, with a bucket of water on her head. Did you get the image? Yes, I trust you did. Well, we would come back to this.

Prior to that very hour, I had undergone my normal routine as a student. The school schedule was designed in a way to wear students out each day. As a student, you get to wake up by 5am and not sleep till around 10pm. Let me spell it out for better understanding. A typical routine is waking up by 5am for morning devotion, after which one would go and prepare for class. JSS 3, SS 2 and 3 starts class as early as 7am (morning lesson). Normal classes end by 2pm with an hour break while evening classes run from 3pm- 4:30pm after which labour/sport commences and ends by 5:30pm. That is not the end of the day for a boarder though. We still have to attend night prep which ends by 9pm. Then we close the day with evening fellowship which ends by 10pm. Normally, everyone is bushed by this time and we end up sleeping like a log. I took you through this journey so you could understand the mental and physical stress an average student go through everyday till the end of the term.

Remember the image I told you to hold onto earlier? Let us bring it back.

Little Mobola was so exhausted for the day and in a bid to get some rest before prep, she decided to fetch water and hit the bathroom afterwards. Little did she know a wonderful surprise awaits her in the hostel. On getting to the hostel, a senior had something to my nose unexpectedly which I inhaled subconsciously and that was it. The bucket of water on my head fell, leaving people's bed wet and I started displaying various skills; laughing uncontrollably; tapping my feet and crying at the same time. Drama started. Hostel scattered. News had spread like wild fire. Everyone was chanting Adeoye Bolanle has gone mad. I could not just explain what was going on in my head.

Apparently, this senior had taken out some laughing gas from the science laboratory without the knowledge of the laboratory prefect and master. She decided to use it on innocent juniors like me just for fun but unfortunately, it went haywire. Her sole reason for using it on me was because I was dragging my feet. Funny, isn't it? 

Well, let us just thank God it did not go out of hand. The school nurse said it went haywire because it was sudden and met with mental stress which could have led to something tragic, however, she was able to calm me down and I had long hours of sleep afterwards.

My conclusion is this though. Do not play with substances you do not know the side effects. Also, people are going through a lot which is not written on their face. Do not, all in the name of fun, try out things on people without their knowledge. It could lead to something you would live to regret.
