Notions in a Moment

The past few weeks have been quite exciting, a learning experience if you like. About people and things associated with them. It’s been enlightening in a way that I really cannot explain. It’s more of ‘been there, seen it, done that’ and since most of these involved what other people said or did, that statement always ended with ‘don’t care’.

Apprehensions of our project being completed have finally been put to rest and my paper presentation went off quite well so I’m pretty much a satisfied kitten. There’s just the pending threat of TOEFL and the third round of tests and the ensuing examinations…no, not concerned. What I am more concerned about right now are the sentiments floating around. They are all centered around the last month of college. Every time we go out for lunch or JLT one of my friends will most surely say, “We’re not going to be doing this anymore, are we?” and we’ll all hug each other, reassuringly telling ourselves that we’ve had a good time. A great time, in fact. And we’ve learned so much from each other, grown up in every possible way, stuck with each other through the good times and the bad, and promise that we’ll always remain that way. There’s always the doubt of whether we’ll meet each other as often as we promise to, and for my part I honestly don’t see that happening. Maybe once a month, but once a week is a little too much to ask for…what with all the commitments people have. Anyway, it’s kind of getting to me, the sentimental part. Not that I’m gonna burst into tears at the mention of our so-called graduation day, but emotions blah blah, as much as I bank on them, I prefer keeping them to myself.

I’ve been getting a lot of time to myself of late, and I end up sitting in front of my laptop for hours together and I’ve had a pretty good relationship with my iPOD after a long time. We seem to have finally understood each other’s needs and respect each other now, so it’s going on well between us!! J True, I did have a nightmare about my earphones sinking into my ears in the middle of the night and no one being able to pull it out (it made me hate my iPOD for sometime), so I’ve settled to connect it to the speakers and my room ROCKS!! Now, even if I’m not listening to songs or podcasts on my iPOD I still carry it around with me everywhere. Sort of comforts me. Why? I don’t know. It’s a mystery.

Well, my cousin and aunt have flown to Maldives on vacation and she’s enjoying herself snorkeling, scuba diving and para – gliding & sailing, and I’m stuck here working on stupid documentation. I’ve done all of that before but it was about six years ago and I’m quite desperate now to go to a sea shore…a beach. And swim. Oh yeah… I love the water… sigh. So much for dreams, huh? Probably the reason I’ve begun believing more and more that dreams are for those with no faith in reality. I like reality, keeps the thrill in life and makes me daring enough (and I love taking risks…calculated risks, but risks nevertheless) to do/face things. Yup. I’ve been enjoying myself and I’m very sure I do not want it to stop !!
