Take a look at
this. It's a speech by a graduating student in UCBerkeley, came across it while i was at a fellow blogger,
Faith's website. Juz thought it was pretty meaningful and really true. Corinne wrote this on the card she gave to me b4 i left, "Enjoy yourself. University life is what you make of it." And as i enter my last week of lessons before exams as a first year student here, i can't help but feel this is SO true. It's been so fast huh? Juz seems like last week or last month that i was meeting my flatmates, Iona, Olivier, Chris, Matt, Thanos, Stian, Gemma and Steph for the first time and now it's only 3 weeks left before everyone will be going their own ways. I know it's not like i won't see all of them again (except Iona, unless i fly to Mauritius to see her, and Stian), but what we have in House 62, the cameraderie and the closeness and the laughter, in exactly 3 weeks, it'll be nothing but memory.
I can truly say that i have enjoyed myself during my 9 months here in England. As in life, there were ups and downs, there were times when i complained about UK, about the weather, about people who treated me badly. I was angry when someone stole my freezer bag. I was homesick and crying when i talked to Mummy on the phone. I was fed up with Grace for not taking the initiative, for leaving everything to me. I was tired, but i still have dunno how many more pages to type. But i had my fair share of happy times too. New Year's Morning Monopoly, CNY Steamboat, Playing in the Snow, Working and having fun at Lakeside Restaurant, Fetish Nights at the Union, International Night, Weekly Dinners with my Singaporean Kor kors(that, sadly, were not continued anymore), watching DVDs till 4am in the morn, Drinking parties, Fireworks during Guy Fawkes Night, Cocktails at New Orleans Bar. Remember Nadia? The "stuck up racist dumb blonde" that scolded me on my first day at Lakeside? We're friends now, i can happily say. =) Things happen in the most unusual ways.
This is getting a little depressing. I still have my end-of-module FBO test (Ioannis' words, cuz it is not scheduled as an exam) to study for. I better stop here. Maybe i will come back to this in 3 weeks time. Maybe i won't.
