Monday
Part of my campaign for a better life and future involved finishing the courses I have left to complete. Weeks ago, I have executed a bit of research as to which courses I am required to clear in order for me to proceed with my high education studies. And then immediately after, I have marked the date of when I must attend a registration day for school. And that date was today. I brought the amount of money requested in order to complete the registration and attended my first class tonight.
I was glad to find out that the teacher responsible for my class is someone I have worked with before. We are both familiar with each other and that gives me a bit of an easy time in class. I'm glad to see he's okay and I hope to have a great semester with him.
Another familiar face I saw was this girl sitting on the row in front of me. I feel like I've seen her before. But I wasn't sure. Then she looked at me while I was looking, and I got a quick glimpse of her face. Though, even after that, I couldn't really tell who it was and if we really saw each other before.
Then something came up to me and I remembered that one time I was stopped by this girl in downtown. She was a vendor for nail products and all those other girly stuff. She asked me if she could interest me with some of the products. I was feeling particularly generous and kind that day that I didn't say no. I normally would. She held my right hand and started sort of polishing my pinky nail. We talked a bit during the procedure. Subjects included where I was from, what our names were and where we studied. I remember her being able to finish and answer what the name of the school was because she went there too.
After remembering that time, I was surprised and was now curious if it was really her. I mean, I don't really know and can't really tell at all. It's been so long. I just remember the height and the name, but I don't remember her face that much. Her name was supposedly, 'Svala'. Or something like that. I was going to ask her during break time, but I was not given that opportunity since she took off before we were given the go for break time. I'll just ask tomorrow. Not that I like her or anything. I just need some friends that are girls, is all.
The class seemed like a good one. I meant, my class mates. Regardless, I planned on staying anyway. I can't afford to waste any more time. I am late with a lot of things in my life and it's time I get things done. Make things happen. And this is the first step towards that goal. The class is really easy. In fact, it's terribly easy. I just have to stop being lazy. But I think I got that covered. I feel like I'm motivated enough to get things done. And this time, I'm not doing things for someone else. I'm doing things and making improvements for myself, for my future. And for whoever decides to share that future with me.
I also somehow managed to get along with one of the students already. He seems to be chill enough and I started the class with a nice vibe as well. I don't want to be that silent Asian guy in the corner anymore. I want to be more friendly, lively and fun this time around. Like I normally am with my brothers and friends. Of course, I gotta limit myself at the same time so people don't get the wrong idea that I'm just fooling around everytime. We talked a bit and before I left, since I finished my work first, I said ciao and he did the same. I'll see him again tomorrow, hopefully. And talk more. Although, I am a bit more reserved than usual with people I have no trust just yet. But that's just me.
First night of being back to school was a good clear. I have planned my next moves for this class including the course I am taking from home. I'll be done by April and begin my next step then. For now, I gotta focus on my studies, job search and this girl I still can't decide whether to pursue or not. But she's a story for another day.
