One Year

so, the new semester has started. although it did started a bit rough for me, being food poisoned and all, i'm slowly, unconsciously getting used to the new environment. i have to remain standing while the wind blows fiercely; to stay calm when situations turns invidious. that's how this one more year will be - to take the rough with the smooth.

last year seemed so far away now. so many things had happened. i met up with some juniors to sell off the books today. they've been here for only 1.5weeks, and yet i can see that many of them are having a great time over here. asking around for books, laughing it groups... cheery temperaments. that was what i didn't experience one year ago. i sulked and cried and lost appetite for almost 2 weeks before accepting the fact that yes i'm gonna be here. it was did not experience it the easy way. why did i had to go through all that?

until i went to class and get to mingle around and finally starting to open up to a whole new clique of friends. come to think of it, the first people that i got to know during the orientation week was sze yin, subby, ht, mei yueh, tim... who most of them ended up in the same class with me. i'm glad i have all of them. austin will never be as fun without any of you. 4 months. it's not a long time actually. but it's enough to cast unforgettable memories that we'll cherish always.

i know many people have posted many good bye posts already, so i'm not gonna repeat anything. to all of you guys who are flying - i'll miss you all. wait for ht, liz, and i ok?
