'06 or '03?

"Mukha ba akong '03!?"

DO I REALLY LOOK THAT OLD!?

It was another monday and i set off for the biosci building where my nasc 9 class was held. Before i went up the stairs a guy came up to me and asked where the ncas building is.

It was the 2nd semester, obviously he was a '06 beta batch. You know, the one's who decided to wait for the second sem to roll in so they can get a slot into the university.

I told him it was just across the street. He said, "Salamat ate!"

"'06 din ako wag mo akong tawaging ate. " I said with half a smile.

"Ah ganun ba? Akala ko senior ka na. Cge ah! Bye!"

IT INSTANTLY PISSED ME OFF!!!! I wanted to follow him and box his face but i figured i'll get him next time because i was late for class.

MAN!!! '03!? What a way to start the week.

freshman

I felt that it was a big transistion when i became a freshman...
New friends.
New BOYS to meet.
New Environment.

and maybe...

A new me...

There was definitely change. A BIG one.
The first time i slept in my dorm i said to myself, "Freedom at last..."

No dad to tell me to fix my room.

No mom to tell me to come home early.

No pesky sibs.

For a teenager, it was heaven.

"Leche, college na ako...ang bilis."


My first week was great. I met loads of people. i went home later than my dorm's curfew. My room was messier than my room back home.

But after that, i started to feel the change. Everyday i went to class with different people. No permanent friends whatsoever. Sometimes i went to class alone. I couldn't see the floor of my room because of the clothes that were scattered everywhere. I started missing my old room. My friends. my mum and dad. heck even my sibs.

Soon after i started picking up my things one by one. I fixed my books and put them in their proper places. It took me two whole hours to clean up. Man! It felt good to see the floor again. IT was hard to admit that my dad was right. Though it felt good to make a mess sometimes.

Change? Of course there was change...
