It's hard to believe that in less than a couple of weeks, I'll be passing through these gates to BLCU. And that my life, for five months, will be comprised mainly of this new, uncharted territory.
I've mentioned this before, but I still can't get over the fact that I feel pretty excited and very nervous simultaneously. It'll be awesome living and breathing the (polluted) air of a city I first fell in love with some 4 years ago, the first time I stepped foot into the Forbidden City. But then, it's also different having to pack my bags and live pretty much on my own for half a year.
What makes me excited though, is being able to experience a bit of university life abroad, away from home. Like my mom said, it's no biggie, coz if we stayed in Canada, we'd probably have to move away from home to go to uni anyway. In this case, it's a mere 5 months, and not 4 years, at least.
Oh, I can't wait to walk those tree-lined roads on campus, to explore all that is BLCU. The price I have to pay for this though, is having to do my own laundry, cook, and clean--which won't be too hard, since I help out at home anyway, and I'm not exactly a spoiled brat/princess--plus commuting (gasp, what's THAT??) and studying. And me, who wanted to never study again after university, unless it was culinary arts. Oh, joy.
But there's so much I'll miss. I miss my family already! My parents, my argue-mate brother, and huggable/bite-able sister, my aunts and uncles, and my amazingly bugger-but-adorable cousins. And my friends. And work; who'd have ever thought anyone would miss work, right? And Fro-yo. Driving, even in the dead of Manila traffic!
All these mixed emotions are driving me insane! One minute, I'm looking forward to September, and the next, I'm all sad. It's almost like I'm bipolar or something.
Bipolar, split-personality, or just plain psycho, September 4 is coming, and it's coming fast. I just have to get used to the idea, that's all.
