todayi had my last class for this semester
todayeverybody was telling me to go and sleep, cos of my massive eyebags.
todayi feel really lonely.
i can't believe that one semester's gone by so fast. i can't believe that all my stuff is due next friday. i can't believe that so much time has gone by.
i'm remembering my first days at melbourne uni. everybody seemed so intimidating. some were downright unfriendly. some, though, made school enjoyable. some have only recently spoken to me. some have been speaking to me since the first day. some have become friends, most are only acquaintances. it's incredibly intimidating, being amongst so many people who are so full of ideas and energy.
i remember how unsure i was, having, for once, none of the guidance that characterizes the singapore education system, the insecurity about whether i was good enough or not. how narrow-minded i felt when i first stepped into class. the moments of pleasant surprise, the moments of utter disappointment. the times i got lost in the city. new things, new ideas, new people. it's been a whirlwind. i'm glad i came, and i'm glad i'm coming back.
but i'm even happier to be going back.
