Ending the things that you used to do is a whole lot adjustment to deal with when things were done and you need to do a whole new things again.
Today is Saturday and I wake up early thinking I still have my Saturday class. Oh! I forget that we are already done.
When I check the time when I wake up today it was still around 4 am in the morning. My whole being is used to wake up early every Saturday for my vocational course class. Do you remember that I have mention this in my previous article "Tied-up with 2 things in 2 weeks"? It is the same class that I got to have every Saturday because we have 1 face-to-face interaction per week as the course required us to have hands on activities as it is a computer services course.
But today is a different Saturday because I won't be preparing myself for a class. I don't know if I would be glad that it's done already but my body is used with the routine that I have got of almost a month. Some part of me is missing the routine and some part of me is thankful that I won't be dealing the same routine over again.
What I will be missing?
The early bath
I am not a morning person thus I don't usually take a bath early in the morning. The refreshing yet cold experience it gave me makes me feel so relax and felt a new beginning is a waiting for me just around the corner. It makes my sleepy self awaken and prepared for the whole day activities.
I don't know maybe, just maybe I would still continue to do that as I came to take my 5 am challenge. I would start soon if I am ready.
Mother's cooking
Since I would be traveling, mom would always prepare something for me as a breakfast. I would definitely miss it as it bring back some high school kid feeling in me. Way back in my high school days mom would always prepare foods for us. With this gestures I could absolutely feel her love for us. When I was in college her cookings were what I always miss. She is the best cook, second to dad, though mom's cooking is what we used to because dad cooks only in special occasions, but dad's cookings is very much delicious because he is a low key chef cook. What I mean in saying low key is that he isn't cooking for any restaurant or catering services but he cook on special occasions requested by family and friends. But I don't say mom's cooking aren't the best. It is. It's Mom's. Moms' cooking are the best for us.
At some point am I right, right?
The bond
Within the previous Saturdays of my class my brother was the one who gave me a ride going to my school and waited for me there the whole day. Since our school requires us to travel an hour from the home town that's why he don't want to go back and forth to get me. Our place doesn't have lots of vehicles which could transport us to the place even in late hours because there's no passengers anymore unlike in the city. So, my brother would prefer to stay and wait for me. Even though I would give him amount equivalent to how much I should pay as a fare to other vehicle but the thought of his effort adjusting his schedule and vacating it for me every Saturday was a very thoughtful gesture. Honestly we don't have the good terms relationship as the past scars me. But still I could see his genuine love and support. Every Saturday was a bond for us mending the broken relationship we had.
If you are curious enough to know what happened you can checked in my previous article entitled "once upon a time"
My classmate
I will miss them. We had such short but amazing time together. We know that we had just in the stage of getting close from each other and getting to know and comfortable with but time didn't allow us to share more moments together and create memories. I will miss their naughtiness and the vibes they gave to me. The positive energy and the support we had from each other as we help each other to pass the course. And indeed we passed.
What I am thankful?
I won't travel long exhausted hours anymore.
Going back and forth just for the class is so tiresome. Sitting in the motorcycle for an hour drive is so aching, not just in my butt but also in my back. And when I am in school I had to sit again for the next 7-8 hours and going home was another exhausting sitting job.
I won't need to wake up early anymore.
As I have said earlier I am not a morning person so I am not fully comfortable with waking up early and preparing things. It was quite a difficult adjustment for me so I had hard time doing so. But as time pass by my body adapt to it. And now that I am used to it. I don't know when I could get back to what not to used it anymore.
I won't need to worry financially in this aspect anymore
I do had hard time especially financial aspects during my Saturday class as I still needed money to give to my brother as a compensation of his hardwork and effort. It wasn't payment for me it's more of a "thank you" gesture. Eventhough he don't want it but I insisted, I know it is just a small amount but I prefer to at least give it to him. It's not just that that I worry but also our lunch. So it adds up my financial challenges. More that I don't have stable income that could provide my needs. My money came from my extra tuitorial services to some kids. And I don't ask from my parents. You know what it's quite uncomfortable to still ask them my financial needs since I graduated. Still, I am thankful that God provide my needs and I surpass the challenge.
Closing thought
The things that we are used to do brought us changes and challenges and when things need to change we can't easily adjust to it and switch back to normal things. It's up to us of how we would handle it but what's the good thing is that we learn new things with it and our flexibility of things is being test. Challenges brings changes and changes brings new you. We just need to extend our limits and become open to whatever we will be encountering ahead and when things go back never allow to not bring a lesson or two with you.
Happy Saturday everyone π₯³π
