Back to Work!
After about four months of having the luxury and pleasure of being able to drive to college, I've begun to realize how cumbersome it is to take the public transport-givent the choice, of course. But as it turns out, I didn't have much of a choice simply because my (mom's) car is still in the workshop and untill Friday, I shall have to suck it in and take the bus. Yes, the smell of 'heavenly' fumes of carbon monoxide and a 'potpouri' of other odours, the sight of too many people who have no regard whatsoever for personal space, the seemingly unending waiting periods (for buses/taxis) was like a slap back to the real world- one with scarce holidays and plentifull assignments (that will start to kick in in about two weeks).
But that thought faded away as soon as I steped into college. It was the first day of my 4th semester and despite be being usually cold and uninviting toward Mondays, today was oddly nice and I had a good day. Perhaps it was the excitement of going back to college after such and long, much deserved and refreshing break. No I am not geek- I look forward to going back especially this year because I'm waiting in anticipation for the things that are yet to come. I know for sure this is going to be yet another year of many changes for me. I am excited about what God has in store for me and I enter into the year expecting much more of Him! I'm digressing-let's get back to first day in college and why I like it. It's absolutely wonderful to be reunited with peers and meet new people at the same time. Oh and this may sound silly and childish but another reason why I liked going back to college today was because I could look and the freshies and say to myself, "Haah! I'm no more a freshie!" -the feeling of uncertainty, the fact that I was once as lost as they are- not a bother anymore. But, as I always tell some of my juniors who ask how I got through my Freshman year, "I had amazing friends who made sure I didn't feel so lost and uncomfortable. It's always a bonus to have high school seniors who happen to be studying in the same college as you- they really are a huge help!"
As far as subjects go, I'm still a little wishy-washy on that. I've got to seriously sit down and make my final decision tomorrow- good thing it's a public holiday. I just wish there were more options!
I'm now off to make one of the many birthday cards I've got to get done. January is the best month as well as the worst, I tell you! It's the best because of the many birthdays of my friends and family but it's the worst because my wallet thins faster than usual because of all the gifts I have to get them and because I'm the kind of person who insists on making my own cards and putting much thought into what to get them, time is another investment. Nonetheless, I enjoy doing it because I love them! This day has an hour left and I intend not to waste it so, Cheerios!
