Hello and Goodbye

So today I went to the university I attend to enroll for summer classes. I was there a bit late since enrollment starts at 8am. But to my surprise, schedules were changed. From the announced date of April 15, it was moved to the 17th. I thought to myself, "Oh well, more time to relax and do what I want." But then as I went my way to the mall to spend time there, I received a text message from a former classmate on the same university.

"Pwede na daw mag-enroll ngayon, sabi ni Ma'am," is what the message said. This drove me nuts! I was pissed off because I was already there and it would only take an hour or two. I was about to vent out my anger on the nearest thing I could see as I stormed down the aisles of the Department Store when she sent another text message.

"Classmates na ulit tayo," she said. This calmed me down. It got me thinking. Wow, I can't believe I'm actually moving back to the section I know and love. But on second thought, I'd be leaving a section I grew to love despite the many reasons I had to loathe being there.

I didn't know whether to be happy, sad , or both. It was a relief to be out of the pressure, but it was sad to wave goodbye to those I'll be leaving. But hey, I might have left the section, but I have not left them as friends. Even if we won't b able to see each other as often as we did, I'd still see them around. It's a small world, and a lot of surprises happen when you least expect them.

So, I guess this means goodbye Section A. It was a nice stay, but I have to go. Thanks for everything you've taught and shown me. Do your best, guys! Gambatte kudasai!!

And for those other people who have to leave behind people they have grown to love and cherish, there will always be a reason as to why they call it GOOD bye and not BAD bye. Learn to make the most of the situation, but never forget where you've been and who you've been with.

Mata ne, mina-san!!
