Difference in Time

We all know the saying "Time sure flies when you're having fun".

Right now, even though I'm not exactly bored to death, I feel like time is moving so slow like the gentle clouds in the blue sky.
Maybe it's because this is the last Sunday before I finally start my sem break. But I still have one last exam to go tomorrow.
Meanwhile on that same topic, I haven't got to review much because of too much anticipation over this coming Tuesday.
I'm finally gonna see and play with my nephew again. Of course there are other reasons why I'm excited to go home. One of these reasons is...fast home internet, wololololololol...a-ahem, and also my grandmother's home cooking.

I've spent a good part of the day with butt stuck on my red chair and my face glued to the screen of my laptop. I occasionally peek at my handouts in CMSC 21 but somehow my motivation to study waned out already a few days ago. I just feel like finishing everything even if it's not in such a grandscale exit.
Still, I need to pass that exam.

In terms of this day's climate, I gotta say it's close to perfect. Even if summer has long past (and even if there's no summer here in the Philippines), today's climate is my ideal summer days.
The sun is out, but it's not too hot. The clouds flow freely, but it's not too dim. The wind gently blows, and the trees dance with them.
Even if I spent almost the entire day indoors, I really appreciate this day's tranquility. The peacefulness is amplified because the campus is practically empty right now. Only a few students remain for the final exams and most of the student population are already enjoying their sem break.

This day reminds me of the quiet afternoons I spent at the Garden of Prayer just walking up and down the long flight of stairs. Staring at the sky above and the field below, I feel like time has stopped just for me to enjoy the scenery for an eternity.

...back to reality though (the harsh reality) I still have quite a few topics to study. My exam is tomorrow afternoon.

Anyway, I've experienced even for just a short while what it feels like to be a child again.
it's been quite a long time since I last held a Happy Meal...maybe 7 or 8 years ago?
My mom asked me to buy a Happy Meal to be given to my nephew on Tuesday. I ate the burger, of course, but the toy is for my nephew (although it would have been nice if the toy was for me, lol). That feeling of carrying the red box with the big yellow curved smile all the way back to my apartment, with all those people staring at you, yeah that's what its like to be a kid.

One last note...today is October 20 (obviously). It's also the birthday of one of my classmates and fried in high school. It's not appropriate to greet her here because how am I sure that she'd even read my blog or appreciate my posting it here. But even so, to the original bearer of the nickname Nekohime, Happy 18th Birthday.
I also used to call her Valkyria, but not any more. Maybe I'll post something about that Valkyria some other time.
