It Was a Special Day


It was a special day...however, I didn't feel that it was special. It was like one of normal passing days, and I felt like the new semester would start from April.

However, it was my last day of school. We all were dressing up. In Japan, most girls wear "kofurisode" and "hakama" on the day of their graduation ceremony in universities. Yeah, it was one of my special day...it must be, however, I really didn't feel so. It wasn't so impressive, and some of my friends told me that they thought so too.

I can't believe that I have to start working from April...as a new member of society. My past life went so quick. Soon, I have to earn money...not for making pin money, but for living. When I was little, I felt that adults were mature. Even junior high school students or high school students looked so. But in real, I passed the age, graduated my uni, and now, I'm about to start working in a hospital. I can't believe, I can't believe. Is my mentally age enough to be called an adult? Maybe no.

I worry about my new life from April at my working place. It is natural that worrying about new life if there are nothing special, but I think that I have to worry about it more than others since I didn't send the new year greeting card to the person who will be my boss (and I heard that he was an unreasonable person) and made him call me twice when I was abroad. (T_T) Maybe I made him bad impression of me before starting working. Moreover, I noticed that he was a person that makes sarcastic remarks when I called him back...

Anyway, I still have a lot of things to do before starting working. Getting documents, buying something, etc. I hope that I can survive in the tough ADULT world.

Congratulations ばれりー!! I think it's a big accomplishment, that is, graduating from university. All those years of studying finally paid off ne. On top of that, I'm sure you're happy you landed a job as well. At least you'll be a productive member of society. When you're young, you want to be a bit older, but when you're older you definitely want to be young again. I guess we can't have it both ways. T_T Anyways, I'm sure you'll do fine in the adult world; you sound pretty independent to me. :)~ But, yeah, it would be in your best interest to get on the good side of your boss. Be kind to your boss, and perhaps he'll give you a few days off from work when you really need it. :P~ I'm glad everything went well for you, especially with your final exam.

ばれりー, best of wishes in your future workplace.

Your friend,
`Jensen

mm.. still can't believe it's almost been five years since I graduated.. but yeah, I shared the same sentiments back then too.. skipped my graduation ceremony actually.. the whole ordeal just seemed kinda off..

yeah.. it's an informal coming of age thing.. you'd probably ask yourself whether you're really that different than when you started.. what makes you more of an adult now than before.. what was point and did all this really matter..

or maybe you won't, lol.. who knows.. I'm thinking too much.. but yeah.. college for me wasn't about the studying and academics.. hah, maybe you'll finally understand what I've been trying to tell you all along now..

mm.. think I'm a bit too serious sometimes.. but that's just me.. so I guess now instead of rants about tests and studying.. it's going to be about work and corporate bs eh? ^^

However myself don't think that I'm adult, someone may think so...or, may think that I'm too childish. When I talk to you, I may think that you are so adult. :P Who knows? XD

Hey, hey, hey, it's been for a long time! I got so busy after starting working. (T_T) Really sucks, I feel like getting the way to escape that many girls are choosing.
