Do I have to go there alone

With another week doing to end it is bittersweet for me that I cannot hang out with my school friends for three straight days. There will be no classes on Monday for the commemoration of the Philippine Independence Day tomorrow. Throw a serious conversation into the mix, and it's safe to say that I've had a better week.

Yesterday I spent the night at the mall shopping for notebooks and school supplies that I might use for the whole school year, albeit some of them would just end locked up in my cabinet where the sun doesn't shine.

Then today, I was chosen by my class to join the school's Essay Writing Contest. I was reluctant to gladly accept the offer, as I'm afraid to compete with other writers at SACS. But there is one thing I am sure of, I am kind of directionless. . . .
