pomp and circumstance

WOW! fourteen days to go and we'll be marching to receive our diplomas on the newly built 'Crown Jewel' of PCC. the idea's still not sinking; you know, graduating and all. i can't believe i have been through all those four years.

i remember the first day of college life. whenever i imagine myself then, i realise how times have changed so fast, even if it just for four years. i learned things, either old or new. i experienced every experience you can't imagine ever experiencing, because those experiences were really unforgettable. really change is everything, and the changes i've had were very unexpected and unimaginable. i did not anticipate any spark coming out of me in terms of showing myself, and i was really overwhelmed that i did well in my own right. i discovered the different sides of myself, my wants, interest, what i do not want, what i hate to do. every time i find myself doing good, i was really surprised, wow, i really can do it!

basic education hadn't really allow me to fully know myself. of course, i had a great time during my high school days. in fact, i enjoyed those years. college life, on the other hand, is undoubtedly a serious journey, though at times i've been not serious because of wanting it to be light and easy. there are hard times, difficult times in terms of dealing with pressures of studying and learning, but i made sure that i'd deal with them, as much as possible, with joy and comfort. i always thought that life is not difficult or hard, it's as easy as watching a film. just enjoy it, welcome the problems. there may be some very difficult undertakings but i kept myself calm and deal with them with ease and patience. never mind negativity and pressure. i even find time relaxing by whatever means possible just to take out the pressure of those moments. and that was it. those times are over and let see what will happen after that.

Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance is really approaching. i can imagine the First March beckoning each of us graduates to stand and taste every moment of the life we've been through. truly, that day we'll be one of the times of our lives.
