Yesterday
Hanging Out
Yesterday, I went to Dencio's Rockwell to attend one of my friends' birthday dinner.
It was great seeing my CSA "barkada" again. (It's in quotation marks since we never really called ourselves that.) I think it's been around a year since I last saw them. Looks like a lot's been happening since we last met since I had to catch up on a lot of things. It was great just being there talking to them, laughing at the ridiculous nonsense we'd spew at ourselves. It was just like old times...
But then I see that we're changing, growing up. Now we're talking more about the future then we ever did. Back then, it was all about the here and now; we didn't need to care about the future. We've matured, but not quite. We can still act like the hooligans we were in high school, hehe.
But... I think we're growing apart. The distance between us has been growing ever since we graduated. It's not so much a physical distance, but a distance of piles of papers to do, projects to accomplish and tests to take. Miles and kilometers do not separate us, college does. What happens to us after college then...?
Perdón, profesor
Yesterday was also my second day of teaching Spanish. Wow, call me what you will but I'm enjoying it! The kids are really interested to learn. Thanks to them, I've been thinking about a possible career shift...
*sigh*
I saw them rehearsing yesterday. I was happy for them, but I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
...But it really isn't meant to be. The papers, projects and presentations are all piling up and it looks like a musical is not something I can squeeze into my timetable right now. If I were in it, I'd have to face the prospect of lost sleep and misplaced priorities.
