Tomorrow's gonna be the start of another semester. And I could not put to words how embarrassingly and unexpectedly scared I am as it approaches. I'm not quite sure why, but I'm guessing it's because I am intimidated by the subjects and the professors I got (3 majors hello!). But before I start blabbering about the coming sem and bid the break farewell, I just wanna take a look back to how things were.
I had painfully finished a 50-page paper for my first sem major subject (FLCD 101), and I must say that was one astounding accomplishment for me! BIG HOORAY! I have never crammed such a paper and in such a way before. Here's a glimpse of how I managed to squeeze out all the juices from my already-dry mind to create 50 pages of narrations and analysis:
Yes, that is our dining table. Ha. For this, I give myself, and all my classmates, a pat on the back. Good good!
Now on to other sembreak things, I was actually disappointed by how I couldn't go out-of-town--major thanks to Ondoy, to Pepeng, to Santi, to Tino, to Comelec, and to long lines everywhere (that includes mall cashiers and transport terminals). They made early morning to late night drives, stop-overs, and reunions out of the sembreak equation. Di ko man lang nalanghap ang katiting ng beach, o ng probinsya. Ha. How sad.
But that didn't mean I had to let myself mope around at home and spend all the days (and nights) in front of the laptop doing shiz in Facebook, or which ever networking site there is. Thanks to friends, telephone lines, videos, and wanderlust, I let myself out there-- city sembreak style.
This city sembreak was quite exhausting, for, as I have just realized, there are actually a lot of things you could still try to do in the city, aside from whole-day mall walks, or snoozing for 30 hours straight at home. There are still a lot of things in the city that is to be explored--that I haven't been to and experienced yet. For example, staying inside my favorite bookstore shuffling through different books for half a day, or taking photos of random people and things that pass me by, or being friends with strangers I never knew I could like, or visiting historical places I've never been to before (even though they're just a couple of jeepneys away), or being extremely vain with someone dear in a completely awkward setting, like this:
Sembreak, thank you for such a realization. And thank you for bringing in the wanderlust, too. Sadly, you had to end before I could start fulfilling the desire. There will be a time, I need not worry. And next time, it must be remembered to look around for options, or alternatives. Better to do something else, than to mope around and do nothing of worth at all.
So now, here's to a new semester. Good luck!
