today has gone (or is going) by like any other day, really. in fact i even had forgotten to wish others 'happy new year' at first meet until i get reminded; coming across unintentionally rude.
did my last run last evening before dinner, had church and today other than the usual Sunday ruckus in the house, i did my first swim (albeit short) for the year too.
things have been cruising in slowly, almost as though the linear change of shift between the old and new years, was very ordinary despite the mad rush of celebrations, drinks, people, food and wee-morning returns. that didn't happen to me la, but if not for the dates, the media, the everything else, today is very much like others.
but maybe that's the point of it all; that it has to be as ordinary as it can be, to ease between the usual and the new, making stepping into 'unfamiliarity' a little easier, a little more bearable. of course, it isn't always the case.
i guess with the cyclic 'nature' of time, and we
are creatures of habit, would need some form of start and end. be it prisoners, contract employees, long distance lovers, patients, pastors, children, advertisers.
(
haha this is what happens when you read sociology as a degree. at least i think i'm trying to put into [right] use what has managed to be retained in the head haha)
i don't know how my year's going to be like other than the fact it is my last year (if nothing goes wrong!) as an undergraduate in social sciences. and i don't know how i'd deal with whatever that comes by to shock me, thrill me, excite me, scare me, torture me, challenge me, enlighten me until i get to it.
and maybe with a little more faith as we do with every year, we tide by.
here's to the hope of a good year ahead :)
