End of Era, Start of a New Day
yesterday was my last day of class as an undergraduate. it just hits so starkly that it’s the end of one phase of my life and i’m moving on to actually becoming an adult. more than some arbitrary change in age to becoming 21, adulthood is so much more real because i’m going to be working. so yesterday was filled with more than a trace of melancholy, looking back at the past two decades with many smiles and much wistfulness. goodbye to long summer holidays and carefree days…
the melancholy nearly got to me when my strategy professor was so sweet and wrapped up the class and course yesterday by saying best of luck to all of us and that she hopes we can stay in touch. had my last project presentation in school and while we totally kicked ass, the overwhelming "last-ness" of everything pervaded. i think it’s also because you end with such little fanfare when it seems that the last day of school deserves more. the melancholy faded when i went for a beer with two of my marketing group mates at school’s ice cold beer cos i got giggly with the alcohol haha. it was nice chilling the afternoon away with friends…
white elephants make for interesting dinners.
