Yesterday, I
finally did the one thing I had on my list of things to do while I
still had the chance. I invited my university colleagues over for
coffee. Not many showed up - but the few I’d consider friends
to an adequate degree did show up.
Exceptionally, there’s not much to recap in the way of things we did. It was almost literally just us having coffee. But it was fun regardless. It’s only a shame that they had to leave as soon as three hours into it.
Either way, even if it was only three hours, it was a pleasure having them drop by. And I like to think I made a decent enough impression. This was the first time I’d invited a group of people over since... Geez, I don’t even recall the last time. Anyway, I feel I did a good job of being a host for the day.
And then there’s the factor of us potentially seeing each other for the last time. At least in a while. I know I’ve probably rambled about it enough already, but it was great giving them all a proper farewell with a heartfelt hug.
Overall, I had fun. And I hope they did as well. As brief as the gathering was, I did find satisfaction in the fact that at the very least, three people cared enough to want to pay me a visit. Hopefully it wasn’t the last time either.
