a heartwarming ending…

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

i’ve always enjoyed the end of classes. Who wouldn’t want to finally take some time off after the sleepless nights of studying and cramming. But this summer, it was different. I even thought that i would hate this summer because im attending summer classes, but i actually had loads of fun and made lots of friends.

This summer, I took psycholgy 150 (as elective) and geography 1.. psych 150 was, in a way, fun.. we had different activities like ‘going into the unconscious’ by using a small crystal ball with a rope on the end, dream analysis, thematic perception test, and a whole lot others. but the most imprtant thing that i learned would have to be ‘living in the moment’. Just live in the present, enjoy life as it unravels its mysteries to you, appreciate the little things that come in your way so you wont have to regret anything. the thought actually made me feel good. the words of wisdom of my prof actually helped me deal with my own fears about the future. it’ not everyday that i encounter some guiding words as that.

my geography 1 class was really awesome. my prof taught the lessons with the unusual spark that allowed us to really appreciate the knowlegde she tries to impart on us. i think all of us enjoyed the class.

my geog 1 groupmates was also very cool! we named our group "a7d", the short term for ‘arni and the seven dwarves’. we had loads of fun as a group. we had this final presentation wherein we shot a mini film about gay spaces and languages and the guys in our group posed for gays. My girl groupmates really appreciated it a lot because we didn’t find it hard to convince them and they were really cooperative.. anyway, we really bonded as a group and they are really fun to be with. it is very rare to find that sort of bond in a group considering we are all very diverse and we just met like a few weeks ago..

at the last day of classes, pat gave each of the group a bookmark which she made with the "a7d" logo in it. At the back was a simple personalized message. I, personally, appreciate it so much. I think it’s not only me who felt the closeness that we had as a group. kaycee also sent messages to each one of us through text. and when the class was finally over, our group were the last ones to leave the room, we stayed together until we reached the lobby, and still, we were the last ones to go on separate ways.

anyways, i just wanted them to know, i enjoyed the summer because i met all of them! (hehehe!)
