memories

I can not believe that my frosh year has already come to an end. I'm really gonna miss it, it's been such an awesome year. It feels like there isn't much of a closure to the year tho... everyone finishes their exams and leaves to go home. You see the rooms go empty one by one... it was sad, especially when my roommate, sarah, left. I know that we complain abt caf food and 'funny' things do happen when a thousand university students live together in a building. But i love the convenience of caf food... not looking forward to cooking next yr, lol. i love the way that i can turn around to talk and laugh with sarah. i love the way i can walk done the hall and ask a homework question. i love the freedom and independence. I never expected to come to enjoy waterloo this much. I really wonder how i will feel at the end of my last term, if two terms can already make so many fond memories.
These eight months has seemed so short but then again when i think of all the work i've done, it really has been awhile. i guess i feel a lil sad knowing that even when we start school again in sept it's not gonna be quite the same. But then i'm excited for the place we're living next yr too. Sarah (wong... not my roommate), Jane, and i found an apartment on the 'westside' lol! when we went to see that place all of us was like... this is the one. i'm glad too that my roommate, sarah, will also be living in an apartment near by so we can still see each other!
Feels so weird being at home. i've lost my addiction to tv. when i'm wasting time i always feel like i need to do something else... like study. haha, the night that all our exams were over we were just hanging out and we were gonna watch 'pretty woman' (is it plural?... ahhhhhhhh, see wat i mean?! i'm still in such a nerdy mode!) and jane was like... i need to study or memorize something, i see lyrics, i need to memorize them, lol. there's no one incident that i can say that made my experience at waterloo wonderful because it was just everthing... mostly in the small things. such a change from the beginning when i got homesick and questioning whether i should be in preopt or not, to now... i'm sure i'll miss home next yr too, but i'm glad to say waterloo has become a second home to me. it's really been a good time.
my roomie, sarah, and I... it's a mustache, just in case you can't see it =p.
