Jun. 17th, 2007 05:44 pmEverything feels so surreal.
The first time I sat up on my double-deck bed was the time i realized that I was actually going to live all by myself. I had the money to spend as I please, and the freedom to do such a simple thing makes me scared. I stood in the middle of the street and gazed at the internet shops, the carinderias, the photocopying centers and I find myself lost. No one to tell me what to do, no one to remind me that I have to do this and that.
I finally entered this cubicle and typed my heart away while chatting with EJ. I told myself, the next four years will be pretty lonely.. Thank God for LJ.
My feet hurt because of the Campus tour. Jesus, the thing was so damn huge. trivia: UPLB is the largest UP campus. This is because it includes IRRI, the rice research institute. Imagine walking in flip-flops with sporadic rain and sunlight alternating. I collapsed to my bed after that, but not before getting lost on the way back to my dorm. Thank God Ate gave me a personal tour the last time I went here.
I don't have homesickness yet. I haven't made any good friends. The only numbers added in my phonebook are two: one of that goofy tour guide and the other of a girl I met at the orientation.
BTW, my new number is 09286126258. Feel free to comment your number in this post since I lost my old sim card, and your numbers.
Ate tells me that here I will learn how to save money. It's scary. If I overspend, I won't have anyone to run to for more money. Oh, now I know the insecurities of living independently.
I'm looking forward to the lessons tomorrow. Studying, listening to the teacher and assesssing if he/she is a jackass or not is one of my strengths. Why? Because it doesn't challenge my social skills.
My future and sense of direction will be in my prayers tonight.
