all the other kids with the pumped-up kicks

thursday:

woke up from the constant ringing of my phone. thought it was my alarm, so i ducked in, and buried my face in the pillows. found out later on that it was jeri calling me and asking if i could still come join them. was so perked up by the urgency of the call and sms, so i headed to the shower and ate a bar of choco oatmeal on the way to school. dropped by the department to show up and confirm that i had perfect attendance in 111, and hurriedly ran to eng'g caf only to be greeted by friends playing pusoy dos. apparently peki was still on the way, and reg had to wait for the office of admissions to open. myka texted jeri, saying that her flight's at 4, so we were left with inadequate time to watch a movie and/or have lunch.  thanks to peki we arrived in trinoma just in time to watch dream house with myka.

the day wasn't planned so everything we've done wasn't by the book. didn't imagine that we'd send myka and sheila off to their provinces, that we'd find ourselves in a place as far as naia. realized that these people i've come to know just this semester were as spontaneous and crazy as i am. felt reassured to have found a group of people that fits me just right. and i could say that i do enjoy being with the boys and the girls-who-act-like-boys. feel like when i have to escape reality, i have to be with them.
