It’s been almost a year since I graduated. Do I miss school life? Maybe not as much as I thought I would. Other than the freedom of time, there’s not much school has to offer any more, at least not at this stage of my life. Sad to say, I’ve also lost touch with the school community and haven’t set foot on its hallways since I’d left. It’s only recently that I’m reminded of this when I received a mailer about alumni activities. But enough about school.

Nowadays, work has become the order of the day. After working all these few months, I’ve grown accustomed to the things I do and the people I work with – that’s to say, I’m beginning to love my job more than before. And one reason more than anything else is the autonomy that comes with it. With no fixed routines and minimal supervision, all I need to ensure is getting the job done. To say the least, it’s an almost perfect arrangement.

Still, it’s a little too early to say whether I’ll eventually grow to love what I’m doing even more. And this is all the more so in the coming months when things heat up as my projects enter a critical phase. Perhaps then, I’ll look back to my schooling days once more, reminiscing the glasshouse that had sheltered me from the elements, and wanting to be back in its relative safety. But that’s another story for another time. Thus far though, work has been rather fulfilling and enjoyable and I do hope days like these are here to stay.
