I had dinner last night at Sweet Inspirations with Brian M., Martin L. and Gio M. I think we all realized just how unprepared we all are for "real life" when Martin talked about how he should have taken a year off after high school to think about what he really wants to do in life (He's a History major--and that's not a common course choice because there are very few things you can do with a history degree, I'm told). I think I should have done that--taken a year off to travel, take on internships in fields I'm interested in, sign up for random, short, quirky classes (maybe a jewelry design class in SOFA, or Art Appreciation in CSB or a fiction writing class in UP or Great Books in Ateneo), learn how to bake and sew, etc. I think they should mandate high school graduates to take a year off before going to college. We'd have less shiftees/jobless graduates that way. Apart from that, we teased Brian about his all-white ensembles, swapped tales about two of our more interesting professors and discussed horror films. Fun, fun.
Tonight, I had dinner with Brian M. and Karlo D. at Flaming Wings, during which I got oppressed for preferring to eat with a knife and a fork and for being a (neo)feminist. Haha! I also got oppressed for my "socialist tendencies"--and, because I didn't finish half my food, I ended up having it wrapped so we could find a street kid to hand it to, just so I didn't have to renege on a bet I made with Karlo. I really should learn to be less stubborn. Haha.
