to study again...or not :p

Such a weirdo. I'm currently in Starbucks Katipunan. Been here since 4:30 p.m, so that's 6 hours and counting. I know, why the heck am I here and why haven't I left? Because I'm bored. I don't want to go home yet, and somehow I'm enjoying my 'alone time' today. Surrounded by mostly university students who are studying for exams, I'd normally feel old and would wish that I was back at school so that the only things I'd worry about are requirements and passing tests. But now, I feel quite smug. Why? Because while they're all stressed out, I'm just 'working' away on my laptop. What am I working on? Facebook, my blog, and blog-hopping. HAHA! I'd have to admit that most of the time, especially when I'm stressed with work, that I wish I was back in school. When I was still a student, I would get so worked up because of all the things I needed to accomplish for my courses. But now, I feel like if I would go back to school it'd be so easy for me to ace my subjects. Okay fine a little bit of humble pie is needed. Seriously, ever since I started working I missed not having so much 'serious' responsibilities. I didn't need to worry about bills, insurance, work deliverables (if not accomplished would cost me my job), my long-term future plans. The adult life isn't so surreal now. But you know what, being an adult isn't that bad. I appreciate everything I own now, especially the things I bought since I started working, because I worked my ass off to save up for these. I get to go on adventures and trips without having to worry about my parents not allowing me to. I have more freedom to pursue whatever I want to do. Like now, I have a few pet projects under my belt--my Read-Along Project in Bukidnon, my secret project with Mishi, two blog projects with Dianne...the list is getting longer. So yeah, there will be those days where I'd wish to be in a classroom than in an office. But now I don't think those will happen as often :)
