Beckoning

Two months; school projects, late nights, dinner with friends and in recent memory, a good badminton session with my university mates.

December beckons; a month of birthday and festive celebrations, also a time to ruminate about how the past year went. I think this year, for a change, I should not look back at how my life has been, rather, I should look forward, to the challenging times ahead.

Recession beckons; I graduate into a recessive year, where unemployment figures skyrocket, the future looks bleak, but I must maintain a positive outlook, for a smile among a crowd of dull faces, represents a glimmer of hope.

Graduation beckons; planning for a graduation show is not easy, I never thought it was but it suddenly became so difficult. Fogged by uncertainties, without a guide, I became ambivalent about it all; negativity is starting to overwhelm me.

Seven months; to catch up on the good old times with friends, to be optimistic about the economy and, to get things right and moving.

Time is beckoning.
