I should be crying tears of joy right now for passing my Finance finals and completing the requirements that took a loooong time to finally get into the right containers. I just can't believe I'm almost there, almost at that makeshift pedestal where all the eager young (and not so young) hopefuls pass on the way to the real world - the harsh, selfish world.
I should be smiling up to my ears for finally, finally finishing most of my obligations (I still have that freaking scrapbook to make for the Weekly Sillimanian and an inventory to do for the university property custodian) and almost bringing home the sweet evidence of my more that 5 year-struggle in this bittersweet campus by the sea.
I should be grinning...But I'm just too happy and no amount of showing it could explain the joy I'm feeling.
Funny how these last-minute encounters changed my perspective: the tear-strained encounter with Atty. Futalan after our [lousy] Feasibility defense and the Manila field trip which actually gave me a chance to bond with my CBA classmates (see how I've matured!) and found out they're not so bad after all, the late night feasibility meetings that usually ended up undone, and the semi-overtime sessions at DTI-NPO just to finish my 120 practicum hours required for me to march.
I've finally become a CBA student, not because I actually hang out with CBA people aside from Donna and Jan7 now but because I actually feel like one. I've learned to respect my teachers especially Atty. Futalan for believing in me, and although I haven't been hanging around CBA that much, I know I'm going to miss the 36-million building of state-of-the-art facilities and fiber glass windows (Campus Amba talking...hehe). I'll never forget that one fateful feasibility project that had me staying awake for almost 24 hours and crying my eyes out for weeks.
I've finally made friends that, although for a brief moment, have become part of what I'll always look back on and treasure. After a few detours and distractions, I'm FINALLY graduating! I could be shouting at the top of my lungs or skip happily around Silliman, my home and my life for 6 years. I'm finally finally going up that stage and receiving my diploma and I could only thank God for everything I've gone through.
Happy or not, all the memories were made just right.
