i am due to leave for the airport in about 1 and a half hours' time. i will be lugging a massively and grossly overpacked luggage for the time i'm home + europe. i managed to find a replacement just in time and am overjoyed. only, she happens to be irish, very interesting, studied fine art and photography in london and has travelled quite a bit, thus i'm disappointed i'm leaving before i could get to know her better.
nonetheless, i'm euphoric that i've finished my 2nd year of uni and that i'm off to study for 6 months in europe to fulfil and enhance my european studies major. debating about cultural differences, politics and social issues is something i really enjoy and after all the effort i've put in to arrange this damn programme (no, it's not an exchange), i am going to make it worth my time.
i sit here, infront of the screen, ambivalent about my departure. there is also the side of me that knows i will miss perth and its familiarity. the beautiful aussie beaches, friendliness and sheer ubiquitous space will be missed when i touch down in the land of heat and humidty that is singapore. on an even more emotional note, i will miss uni and my professors. they seem more like friends than teachers and it's something i've really grown to appreciate here. there isn't any hierarchy in the classroom and it really makes voicing opinions so much easier (although i should learn to control a lot of it..) and discussions a lot more open.
just by the by, there are few subjects i'd definitely take had i more brain capacity and time - linguistics, political science and philosophy. sigh. too many desires and too little time. i love how uni has opened my mind and perspective and yes, this contributes to my reluctance to graduate as well.
nonetheless, we can't hold back father time and his ticktocking hands, so i'm off to the airport!
