EPTYou can listen to this clip while reading. I keep playing this song in my head while thinking back upon my school days.
Lately, I've had the time to sit down and collect my thoughts. Having gone through a busy phase within the past couple of years, I welcome the time I've been given to spend once again. Currently, I am attending a community college that gave me the opportunity to get more time I want to spend for myself while working towards bigger plans for a four-year university. When that time comes, I'll start forming a different opinion and until then, I'll still maintain my simple lifestyle. These are my mundane school days...
I guess a good starting point would be the beginning. Yes, I still remember the very day I was admitted into kindergarten with my mom and aunt talking to the administrator from school.
School. It is but a simple word, a short six letter word that brings forth a myriad of emotions when I think back upon my younger days as a student. Remembering those days, I can only describe the remorse I hold to this day for the utter waste I've put from my first year of elementary up to the final senior year of high school. Throughout my childhood, this is largely what I remember - my grades were never good, I've spent most of my social time either in academic reinforcement institutes, I took music lessons that I hated at the time and right underneath the miscellaneous section, I simply wasted time playing video games.
Regardless of my negative ranting about school, I don't necessarily look back and feel a complete destruction of what once was. In fact, I feel that the rather unfitting childhood I described actually fits perfectly in a strange way given my personality and the circumstances of my second generation korean heritage. As mentioned before, I attend a community college that's been more of a godsend for me. I can go to school and keep up with my studies while having the time I am used to having for myself.
This very moment, I am posting from the library on campus. Due to the generous amount of time allotted by the lax scheduling of community college, I can explore so many things such as pursuing hobbies I should have pursued earlier like piano, coin collection, and certain fields of knowledge. In fact, I've posted my last few blogs in regard to these circumstances and will continue posting more. When I do, please contribute your own knowledge and experience. Particularly, I've been taking interest in numismatics, music, marine biology, space, and interestingly enough, quantum physics.
I want to savor the time I have now to the fullest. It just struck me today that I won't have this time again soon. I am already past the age I should have this opportunity for anyway, but hey, when life throws you a bone, right? Now, I am 5 minutes late for my Music Fundamentals class, so off I go. As always, thanks for reading!
stuff like these make me feel so nostalgic about the past and it sucks haha, although i'm only (only? :s) 21 lol
