A relic from the past.
Well the blogger addon for my side bar did not really help the posting frequency; but here I am writing again anyway, several weeks later.
As the title of this blog suggests I feel like a relic. This last week I started up at UST again for the 5th year and after walking around, and sitting in my classes, the best word to describe how I felt, is, a relic.
The thing is, as I walk around campus the faces of friends I have made have come and gone. Sitting in my classes I see the excitement of younger students as they realize all of their friends are in this class too, just as I think all my friends have already moved on. Looking around I see faces that look so young, I know that is a little silly seeing as I am only 22, but they look never the less young. Common ground between me and the rest of my class is no longer there as it once was, I have moved on, both in age and in understanding.
I am not sure what else to write but I just can not help but feel, as I start out my last semester, that I just do not belong.
On a side note two things that I have been checking out recently that are pretty cool and worth sharing are Pandora which is a custom radio station that is free, you just tell it the name of one band or artist you like and it will go from there. The second thing is Google Chrome which is the new web browser from Google, it is nothing too amazingly new but I like its "homepage" set up and its combined search and address bar.
Now a movie quote, idea stolen from my beautiful wife's blog.
How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand there is no going back.

Nah, when it really gets bad is when you realize you have been there almost as long as you were in high-school...and the Juniors start looking like they SHOULD be in high-school. That was me last semester, lol.
Do you mean as long as they were in high school? I do not know about you but I finished high school in 4 years.
The high school I went to started in 7th grade, so I was there for six years.
