How I Spent My Day | 13/04/2025

Greetings dear friends, it's another beautiful day of the week and I'm delighted to share with you all how I spent my previous day. Please read through and see how I spent my previous day which was palm Sunday here in the UK.

Here in the UK schools are already on two weeks break because of the Easter celebration coming up soon and before every Easter there is always a palm Sunday celebration and this is the first I'm experiencing here. So this is my story.

I woke up early and then did a few things I usually do before preparing for the Mass. Ideally in Nigeria it is always one Mass for each parish but here we still have two Masses for the parish hence I attended the first Mass which was around 10:00 a.m, ideally we are supposed to have a long processing singing Hossana but also maybe due to the country setting there was nothing like that.

We had the procession right inside the church and palms of crosses was already prepared and blessed during the Mass. Usually on this very day the readings are usually very long so people stand for much longer time during the Gospel reading and I was thinking that the Mass may take longer time because of the readings but as always the priest kept to time and spend just an hour for the celebration.

I began to ask myself questions such as how do this people manage their time so well because in Nigeria a Mass like this may take 3 hours to be completed. It was indeed a wonderful experience for me and I learnt a lot from the readings. We closed and I went back home and then microwaved the soup I had and made a little garri and ate.

When I was done with all of that I went ahead to rest my head a little before I then went ahead to proceed with the working of my assessment. I was able to push through the second assessment and I'm almost finishing and today I should be able to round up the first and second ready for submission so that I can face the third and see how it goes.

During the evening period I decided to go to the gym to exercise my body a little as it has been a while since I went there last. I did exercise for about 2 hours and then I came back took my bath and then rested from the entire day. So that was how I spent my day.
