Thoughts on the First Week of the Last Semester of my College Life

Oh yes. As early as now, I am getting sentimental. Every waking day seems to be a reminder of the fact that college for me is nearing its end. It's like having an intangible, invisible and inaudible countdown billboard of that fateful day they call GRADUATION automatically making tick-tock inside my head, which, at the moment, serves something m0re of a body clock than my real body clock does. And this isn't an exaggeration. Well, of course it is but it is close to the truth.

Everything seems to have a LAST attached before it. For example, I just had my LAST registration period. My LAST turnover. My LAST pre-rog enlistment for a subject. My LAST first official day of the sem. And on Monday, I am going to have my LAST cancellation of a subject I enlisted (yep, my pre-rogging skills were put to a waste). I am going to renew membership to my beloved org for the LAST time. And so on and so forth.

But something good comes from having the thought of everything being the LAST time something happens. It makes me appreciate the experience even more. A simple first-day-to-class walk in the rain made this sink in. As one of my AS MTh walkmates said (apologies for whatever inaccuracy), "...Let's cherish every moment." And that goes for fourth year, graduating students almost getting lost inside the Faculty Center because they stubbornly almost refused to believe an updated freshman that CAL 304 is inside the new College of Arts and Letters Building. As that particular freshman said (again, forgive inaccuracies in quoting), " ...Bahala nga kayo. Sabagay cherish every moment naman di ba?" And I agreed.

I shall, indeed, cherish every moment. Anyway, that's how life's supposed to be lived after all.

Somewhat connected to the paragraphs before this, I have decided to do something I thought I'll never feel like doing. Haha, it must be the effect of the youth conference I attended yesterday. I'm doing it for HIM (B.I.L. kung B.I.L. e).

>>Pause for a crazy afterthought: BWAHAHAHA!!!<<

*Back to original, sane sentiment.* ;p
