Buses and Trains

So after a tiring day at the Sampaguita Interlude, I treated a few friends to some coffee and had a talk with them. We talked about how things will be this summer, and what we might be facing as summer school starts. Changes were made on the sections and groupings, so I had this feeling I won't be where I was last semester. I was gonna miss being with them, although they were a little abrasive at times. But hey, I learned to love them at some point. I just wish them all the best and that they get to where they desire to be.

Back to the story.

As we were about to go home, we ran into our Level Coordinator. At first we were scared that she might be pissed that we were hanging out at the mall in our clinical uniforms, but surprisingly, she wasn't! So I decided to treat her to coffee too, just for the heck of it! Also, as a thanks for all the stuff she did for us.

We had a little chit-chat with her too, talking about her life and times as a nursing student, her encouragements and advices. She was really swell! Wish I had more time to get to know her. I bet it would have been great working with her too! I'll miss her quirkiness, but more importantly, her passion to set us straight.

And so we had to get going since it was getting late. Then I went on to ride the train. Again, the same thing happened. I got pushed a lot, I saw a lot of discourteous men, and almost had to fight my way out the train. But what had me the most was something I thought of as I stood there, clinging for dear life as the train moved and stopped, over and over again.

Here goes.

"Life's a lot like a train ride.
Some get off sooner than others,
some take too long before they get off.
Some take their time, some rush in too fast.
But we all get there someday.
Some enjoy the journey, some just because.
But all the same, we get there someday.
So cherish what is and what will be,
because someday, we all get there."

No, it's not a poem, or anything. Just something I thought of. It may not be much, but it's something to remind us of life anf a lot of other things.
