A week had just passed. The second semester is starting once again, and honestly, I think that I got somewhat lucky with my subjects and professors. The first semester wasn't that bad enough, though. But I am hoping that this new semester will surpass my expectations and past experiences that I've encountered during the first semester.
Nevertheless, a new journey still awaits.
Actually, during the first week of classes this sem, I was constantly searching for my classmates from the previous sem. Okay, I would confess. I really, really had a wonderful time at my first step her in Los Banos. Everything was almost perfect. I got great friends, nice professors, good grades... In short, I started my life here just right.
And now, as the second semester finally unfolds, I don't know what else to expect.
Of course, I can't bury the fact that I'd get to miss my "old" friends that I really got along with. The only thing that detaches me from thinking of it is to simply accept that it's a part of life. You always have to move on.
Truly, the more I think of it now, the better I get to understand things about life. Life is truly not permanent. As always, you must learn to adapt to new things; that's what we are designed to do. When we were young, we try to squeeze ourselves to the group of children within the neighborhood (it's even harder when you're the only girl around, believe me!) As we get older, we adapt to the nature of school and another sets of friends come along the way. Years just walk past us, sooner or later, we'll just see ourselves adapting to the harsher realities of this so-called life.
Well, I believe that's just it. Maybe I've been thinking too much ahead of time. But hey! Who knows? It's just a matter of time. After a few years I may be reading this journal and reminisce about it.
But until then, I have to adapt myself first to the realities of college life...Including this journal.
