It helps if we let ourselves be surrounded by friends who have positive outlooks on life. The sort that sees beyond what the physical eyes can see. ##### Preparing for the class opening So when our school scheduled us to report in preparation for the opening of classes, I'm very excited to meet my good friends again. When we met each other, the smile on our faces was as if we had not seen each other for an extended time. The conversation immediately went to "where are we going to eat today." But before that "where to eat" thing, we quickly did and finished our work. I find this academic year not too stressful and complicated because the learning materials are ready and all we've got to do is sort them. ![_bloom1630979062704.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSZ11RGzH6p8EAAAEeDevNDSaSxQpbBUTHKpETE9bR6tr/_bloom1630979062704.jpg) To maintain social distancing, sorting of learning materials isn't only done by subject area but also by grade level. We didn't have time to talk much with my friends because @kyrie1234 is handling grade 9 Math and @abby0207 is the head of the English department, so she's a bit far from us. And that I am within the group of grade 10 Math teachers. ##### Lunch together Here, the one we've been expecting has finally arrived. It had been sort of a reunion for the three of us. We ate together at Alfresco, a restaurant which is merely one ride off from the school so we decided to only walk for more fun. ![_bloom1630990649282.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTATfpTiTby1hU7bYDnZ85B4eArsmbnzjNcmwgVGrtHfN/_bloom1630990649282.jpg) There is nothing more fun than talking with friends who haven't seen each other for a long time. Whose conversation seemed endless, plus with topics aside from steemit, just jumped about anything under the sun. So that's our friendship story for today. You may now share yours too. Thanks for visiting my post. Till then keep safe. ------- https://cdn.steemitimages.com/400x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmU6etxacPuvt7rTxGmmbaKJagHdAXpifDizwxLWNbD4yb/steemitphilippines%20badge.png
