table with the "A" boys

kamusta naman to!
Our department chair invited me and some other DS people to a dinner with the parent of an "A" boy who passed ateneo, will be taking Development Studies and is part of the top 2% who took the Ateneo College Entrance Test.

Kamusta tlga!

The amusing thing is, that's not the highlight of the night. The highlight of my night is when i realized, I'm eating dinner amongst people who actually achieve academically! Graduating from a small and relax school, getting into ateneo, graduating is the dream. to be more, is a luxury and not a must. It is never really planned. Moreover, not part of the culture.

However, there i was thrown amongst the many. I was eating dinner with someone who graduated with a QPI of 3.91, valedictorian, someone graduating cum laude, a theorist, another candidate for valedictorian and sanggu vice-president, an someone who graduated with a double degree and 2 other minor. So there was I, someone barely passing, is not sure if she is graduating on time. BUTI NA LANG, I WAS FEELING PRETTY THAT DAY.

I was happy that my self-esteem was pretty good today and yesterday... but i did get something out of it, i was actually inspired. I wanted to be more again. I can do it, i think... still, living in the world! its not going to happen because i said so...
