Another Chapter

Now I can finally say that we’re done with school..we’re done with the second semester of our second year in college, that is.

Man, it wasn’t at all a bed of roses, our life this school year! The first semester felt as if all my 4 years were put into it. It was such a looooong semester. Though time was moving at its usual stride, the challenges that met us made it seem twice as lengthy. Hmm…Imagine having 4 major subjects(I’m talking ‘major’ in all aspects) pulled into a single sem. And the schedule wasn’t really that helpful, too. Oh well..past is past. And I’m grateful enough to God for helping me survive it. Plus, it wasn’t at all that bad, anyway. I mean all the lessons learned were priceless. It went beyond what one learns from within the four walls of the classroom.

The latter semester, on the other hand, wasn’t very pressuring. Or maybe I just say so because we were made to be used to the pressure during the earlier sem. Well, whatever. I’m just grateful we survived. And at the same time, I sort of can’t believe we’re turning 3rd year already. I mean, heck! I could still clearly remember the first days of my college life. The slightly awkward moments with my at-that-time-new classmates, the first meetings with our we-didn’t-know-what-to-expect instructors, the curiosity on what was up for us in the coming days…I could still remember them all. Can’t believe 4 semesters has passed since those commencing moments.

Now, a lot of things have changed. Bonds of friendship were formed and, to this point, are being sculpted by test of time. Realizations emerged. Feelings emerged, too. Some have moved on. A lot has decided to take on other quests. Responsibilities have grown. Whatever has been done it all reflected to staying the pace of the only constant thing…change.

At this point, we are given the chance to breathe…to take a break from the semester that seemed to take us ages to finish. It’s time to gather strength for the next chapterwe’re about to face in college life.
