college noes nd half-life

i've been looking for some college notes i had about Greek mythology for my sister for like a week now but can't seem to find it. but i remembered i have this one whole sack full of college notes, projects, term papers, lesson photocopies, book analyses that i put away two years ago. so i took it out from under my bed and started shuffling through it.

found some interesting stories and poetry i've written, some book analysis with notes from my professor, some visuals for some reports, manually browsing through all of them made me miss going to school more. i remembered how wide-eyed, enthusiastic and full of life i was when i was in college. and i miss that part of me that i tucked away (at least most of it) the moment i went corporate.

i realized how blinded i was by success and getting a high paycheck that i forgot what was really important: being happy with what you are doing. of course, still have some reasons to be happy about: my friends at work, the perks and al that. but for the last 3 years, it was always home then work then work then home again (with too little pinch of gigs, travels and yes, i've been single), it just feels like i'm living a half-life. something's still missing and i always feel like i'm running out of time. it's like i'm looking for something but i don't know what it is.

i mean i have a lot of free me and maybe i should start finding better and meaningful ways to spend them.
