Second day of the month of Janus
It was the first day of classes after Christmas break.
I felt kind of lonely in the car. I went to the mall earlier to look for Jimmy Eat World’s latest cd but no record store had it. So I was stuck in the car, trying my best to avoid stupid trucks, listening to the available crap on the radio. Still, I revel that kind of peaceful loneliness. It only happens in those moments. A sort of “Me” time.
I only had one class. Some people wouldn’t even think of going to that one class... it’s the first day after all. Who sane professor would have classes? For me though, I needed that one class after three weeks of hell. The gas was worth it.
Once I saw my friends, I had to fight the urge to run and hug them. It’s not that I missed them (well, I really did *peace*) but it’s mostly because they’re not the people I’ve been around with and for that I was grateful. Other people! Human beings at last!!!
The latest tsismis about the prof, usual moans and groans about the up and coming exam... ahh. Bliss. This was life. To be part of other people’s lives, sharing ideas and stories even as mundane as the prof’s ex-girlfriend. To feel respected as a human being. To be able to express myself freely.
Life was not supposed to be spent sitting at the back of the car, stuck in the most uncomfortable position, listening to old people yap about the dead and the living who actually have lives. I still can’t accept the fact that there are people who live on badmouthing others and ruining other people’s lives.
*sigh*
I’d rather not dwell on the morbid side of my vacation.
On the bright side, I at least had one night of absolute fun in Roxas City. Perhaps I’ll narrate that some other time. *grins*
