use somebody
it saddens me to think that this is the last sunday i'll be spending in NZ this year. of course i know i'll be back again next year, and there'll be plenty of sundays for everyone, but i guess its several things coming together that makes this bittersweet.
some of my closest friends are going back this year. when you're away from home as long as we have been, and you're far away from your family and loved ones, its your friends that become your support group. we all look out for each other and i guess, its just the amount of time you've spent with them. i feel really close to them, and - well i guess what i'm trying to say here is that goodbye's are never easy. they always feel so abrupt.
its also that sense of familiarity thats gone. these people who i associate with this place are no longer going to be there.
its quite sad. i dont know how i'll react when its time for me to go back. i mean, i'll be very happy to go back. but that also means putting an end to nz. maybe i'll be grateful when its time to go cause i keep complaining about spending so many years studying. dont get me wrong, i do like studying, but for this long? and under this much pressure? doing something that i've resigned myself to? its not exactly the most motivating combination.
second year's over. hello third year 2009.
