School senti

There's nothing like going back to school to make one feel old nostalgic...even if it was the Ateneo and not my alma mater... and even if I was there for work.

Call me a nerd, but passing by classrooms in session made me miss my old professors.

And walking under the trees made me think of [ehem] UP's bigger and greener open spaces...

And seeing those students hanging around the benches...they all look so young that I couldn't help but also think, "Did I really look that young when I was in college?"

I'm so old. And what's worse, I'll feel older tomorrow... literally!

Something to think about...

At the Ateneo today, quite a few people asked me over chit-chatting if I was an alumna. I said no, and before I could tell them where I was from, they immediately guessed, "Ah, from UP."

Which made me realize.... a lot of people I've met over the years always assume I'm either from the Ateneo or UP. But no one has ever assumed that I'm from La Salle... or UA&P... or UST. Hmm..... Bakit kaya?
