Leaving everything I know behind, traveling on a road to somewhere new, somewhere different

I realized that I still have quite a lot more things to pack into boxes. It's so difficult to decide what to bring to campus and what not to. Whatever I don't bring with me will be brought back to Singapore, and I won't be able to use them if I happen to need them. Plus there isn't enough room in the dorm to bring EVERYTHING I own here =S.

Anyway, managed to swim quite a bit two days ago. Realized how relaxing it is to swim laps around the pool alone! It's great for times of stress *grin* Just me and the blue water. Too bad summer's going to be over soon and the Montavilla pool will be drained out. Bye bye pool. Anyway that pool's so tiny. There are usually pple just playing around in there. There's hardly any room to swim laps. bleh.

Well, I'll be moving in less than a week. I guess I'm glad that my family's still here for awhile during my first on-campus semester of adjustment =P It'll be scary to be left there all alone with them back in Singapore. That's like a million miles away!!!! Okie dokie time for me to get my booklist. School books buying time. Adios.

Oooh yea, people (females) who are free now should read this book titled Emily Ever After by Anne Dayton and May Vanderbilt. It's such a great book!!! Something said by the main character really struck me. This is not an actual quote: She left her hometown seeking what she always wanted and realized that what she always wanted was actually where she was. Sometimes it takes us leaving our present situation thinking that we are moving on to greener pastures to come to realize that our "greener pastures" aren't as green as we thought they would be. And what we had may actually be what we wanted all along... just that we never realized it until we got out of it. So, GREAT NOVEL! I give it a gold star. *grin*

Till then I bid you farewell.......
