thoumayestIt's just like the first day of college. Surreal.
I still can't believe that a few days ago I was reporting to these people like they were the boss and I was their lowly applicant and now, we converse as if we were friends all along. I love this org. More importantly, I love these friends. I knew that once I got through the Finals of the reporting process, everything would be, shall we say, easier than the last two weeks. But I never expected it to be this... casual. Sir Jason, whom I've dreaded to report to, now shakes my hand when we meet. Sir Par, who made me kiss a rock (which I proudly did not) now jokes me about my Finals follies. Ma'am Joy, who first called me "malabong bata", now asks me about my family. It's like one big transformation, like everything changed overnight. Now the tambayan is a place of stories and chatter, not the place of kupals and punishments that I first conceived it to be.
Just yesterday, I and my batch mates participated in our first ever org activity. Christmas caroling. Though this is a different type of caroling, since we sang to less-privileged people and instead of them giving money, we gave them baskets of goods. It's moments like these that remind me why I joinde the UP Junior Executive Society. I wanted to be more, do more, offer more of what I used to. Now I understand why some people make their org perfect substitutes for their studies. (I don't mean to say that I'm doing so.) Orgs have meaning. (at least mine has.) They have a purpose. And it feels really good to be part of something that can give a lot.
I really don't know why I'm saying such gibberish now. I guess I'm still high from finishing the Finals. I'm still high from acquiring 50+ new brods and sis.
