Solace

Contrary to last week, this week was sooo draining. Mentally, Socially, Physically, Financially, and whatever word has 'lly' in it, it was all drained. This week wasn't that eventful. Aside from the foundation day,  it was just like the usual again - except I feel more drained than ever. Nonetheless, this week just made me think of my closest friends and how much they bring comfort in times that I feel so drained. So, the week started off with the 26th foundation day of the school. Honestly, It wasn’t as eventful as I expected it to be but I still did enjoy my time with my schoolmates especially that I had my camera with me. I was able to film and capture every moment I wanted to cherish. Right after, we ate at Mcdonald's because we were all so hungry and it's been a rough day especially that right after the team meeting, we had to cram a film that was due the next day.

outside with them, again.

I've mentioned that we had a film due for the next day so that night, Mary Ann came over our house to edit the film. She had to stay at my room that night because we've estimated that the edit will probably take so long and we were right. We had to edit up until 4:30 AM and we still had a class at 7. We had naps in between editing but those weren't enough to suffice the tiredness we felt from the day. What irked me more was the fact that the deadline was moved just when we already submitted our work. It was a bit painful considering that we were basically sleepless but oh well, it was a one of a kind experience. It was the first time that a friend slept over our house. I do hope that it happens again except there'll be no more school works involved. 

Wednesday came and nothing much really happened at school, just classes here and there. Right after class though, I had to chit chat with my teacher and some of my classmates. In a way, it was interesting to talk with them and I learned a lot from our conversation. It made me feel good to know that I share the same sentiments with the people I wanted to be close with. After that, I attended mass with my close friends again, and just like that, I spent my night with my friend's family. It still awes me how much my friend's family always welcomes me whenever I'm at their home. 

The day after, I only had classes and right after, I went to my old school to teach the current student journalists at their school publication. I felt a bit nervous because I was the only one who's going to teach that day, none of my fellow alumnus were there except Kuya Lourence. I appreciated that he started a conversation with me so I wouldn't feel too tense. I was able to teach my trainee well than I expected so I hope she really learned something from me

On Friday, I only had a meeting with the Editorial Board of Ignite and our new School Paper Adviser. It was only a meeting but it already made me feel so tired. The thought of the school publication becoming busy again excites me but I feel like I wouldn't exactly be as active as I can because I was the Proof Reader of Ignite. I feel grateful that I got trusted enough to be given that role but copyreading wasn't exactly my forte, in fact, it was my least liked category of Journalism. I was more of a Column Writer. Nevertheless, I'll still try my best to fulfill my role.

And the week ended with me ranting to my closest friends how drained I am and how drained I'll probably be. I am just so grateful for my friends, the friends who I can always switch on my social battery. The ones who I don't actually drained with. They're my solaces. Honestly, they see me more than I see myself. They know me more than I do which is why I am dedicating 'The Archer' by Taylor Swift this week. My closest friends are the only one who can always see right through me.
