it's that time again...
yes, yes. the time has come people. tomorrow, school starts once again. *que in the groans of the student population*
i cannot believe summer break is already over, in more ways than one. now it is actually raining torrents here. walking from building to building would take more effort now, with all the mud and slippery paths. tsk tsk.
i do remember a time when i enjoyed first day of school. but that was a long time ago, before i discovered that classes can start as early as 7 am and end as late as 10 pm and that teachers are slave drivers in disguise. so basically, that was, what? when i was i preschool?
anyway, school falls into routine after a week or so. sure, i bitch about it everyday but i can't deny that inevitably, it comes naturally like breathing air; smoggy, dirty, dirty air, but air nonetheless.
what i noticed in college, before school starts being routinely, it all starts with the awkward first day of school which i totally, totally abhor. unlike high school where you mostly know your classmates and teachers for four years, in college, every semester, you have to start from scratch. sure, you're lucky to have acquaintances every now and then, but mostly, you're like a fish being introduced to an aquarium full of unknown fishes, and you have to swim and, well get to know the other fishes if you want to survive. (lol! wut?) pardon my weird, weird analogy, i just typed what came into my mind first.
you see, i am not a very sociable person. i prefer being with my constant group of friends. i am extremely quiet when i am outside my comfort zone. but i'm a riot when i'm in it. i live two different lives and that's just me. that is why for a socially awkward person like me, first day of school is hard. it's like i have to gauge the personalities of my classmates and teachers, just so i can be somewhat at ease with them. and for me, gauging takes time. a looong time.
but oh well. i'll live. after 6 sems of doing that, this second to the last sem (hopefully) will go smoothly like the rest. *sigh*
i'm really not ready to come back to school yet. i love being a bum.
