Pleasures of being "delayed"

I could not believe that I still have to stay in the darn UP Baguio much longer than I expected but I have gotten alot of insights because of this somewhat unfortunate case for me (well, I am not the only one in this case).

When I have talked with my fellow delayed batchmates...

Pleasure number 1:

You do not have to rush through the paper work for graduation just like what is now happening with my "on-time" batchmates. Hehe. Many have forgotten about the deadline and almost did not become candidates for graduation, hehe.

When I have discussed this issue with my dad...

Pleasure number 2:

"Take your time... this may be your last in terms of happiness and the so called friendship"

He has a point. He even added that the workplace will be very different and will be inhospitable for newbies. I got his point... hehe. Parties may be less and bndings at night might need be left for awhile. wahhhh.


Pleasure number 3:

The stupid thinking that the world will end if you do not graduate on time... (this myth seem to affrect alot of my friends).

Wahaha... One more stupid question: Will you get a job right then and there if you get to wlk your diploma on time? hehe. I am not bitter but just giving the truth of at times dumb matters.
Not unless you are lucky enough to have a job right away... well good for you. But the reality is only a few will have the chance to have a job after graduation. wahaha.


Pleasure number 4:

I get to bet with my batchmates for who will be even teary eyed will have a graduation bash.

Well, this is fun. Even if they try to stop their eyes from watering because of emotion, it will become obvious after the ceremony... then, jackpot. hehe.



Just to be fair to them, it is fun to walk during our graduation with familiar faces who you wold look at for the (maybe) very last time.

Hehe. Kudos to the new grads of UP's centennial year graduation.
