Remember that Prometheus story? That once, he divided the slaughtered animal parts into two packets. The bones were wrapped up in rich fat, while the ox-meat was wrapped up in intestines and nasty bits that looked less extravagant by far. Zeus chose the former and got furious when he learned that the good meat was given to humans.

This story exemplifies the good ol' quote "Good things come in small packages." When I say small, I mean inconspicuous, unapparent and definitely unexpected. My section has been, somehow, all that to me. The first time I saw the class list, my mind was taken into a complete blank. I knew but a very few people, and I found it hard to gauge my potential chemistry with the rest in the section. The night before the first day of classes, I knew that I had a lot of work to do. I had to smile, think of witty conversation starters, and really, look approachable.

Although, it seems that I forgot everything the moment I stepped out of the door in our house. I remember trying to talk with random people in the class and getting results which were kinda sorta not right (or favorable, I think). That day, I decided to stick with one old friend of mine instead. That went on for several days that some of our classmates thought of things that are well, kinda out-of-this-world. :))

As the weeks progressed, I warmed up to the section slowly. Lots of people in my section had quirky personalities but they were unique in their own way. In less than three months, I saw the different sides of a silent but deadly female classmate, a graceful robot, a guitar idol, and yeah, piano virtuosos. I also got to know my old classmates better, namely, a Glee character look-alike, a physics nerd who is VERY special to me. (haha right? :"> =)))) ), a horse and a fish duo, and of course, a whole lot more.

Tau has been, so far, everything that I could wish for. I could be loud, funny, emo, or anything I want to be at any time of the day, and I would be sure to have company. As cheesy as this may sound, I feel like I have something Tau-related to look forward to every day– whether it be a trip to the journal section with my TD friends, a maurag moment with my maurag mates, a LOL Sierra moment, or just about anything that gets me through stressful days brought about homeworks and requirements.

It seemed as though the people were nothing but mismatched threads here and there, but as I said before, we have formed a beautiful tapestry that is bound to stay forever. Well, at least I hope so.
