Blessing and I stayed up till 2 a.m. this morning, discussing a lot of random things about this workshop. In our lack of tiredness, I realized that everything is actually coming to an end!

The dorms looked and smelled adequately clean. Basically, I was ready to settle in my temporary home. But then there were the toilets. When nature calls,...
