looking forward to going down

おめでとうアイちゃん！X3 for getting a Straight for your A-Levels~

Looks like those study sessions in the library did something good for both of us, a win-win kinda thing ya?

I do remember trying to explain your physics to you from what little I remembered from my SAM days which ended up in a "Haiyah you don't do this anymore, go back to your IT stuff!"

And I also remember you trying to help me explain my database transaction recovery procedures to me which actually worked! I was quite amazed.

So now I wish you luck on your application to LSE. Hope you get what you wish for.

And that we should celebrate everything (your results, my leaving, el leaving, el's birthday) sometime real soon. XD

3 weeks and counting. Down.

I was just talking to my dad about them going down to Australia later in March, and I sounded reassuring, like I've already been there (which of course I haven't). Was it right?

To tell the truth, I feel like leaving home so much just for the heck of trying something new that I don't really think I'm leaving anything behind (apart from all the accumulated junk & nostalgic pieces of memory that guama periodically tidies up every time she's here). Maybe cause I'm too caught up in getting away from getting controlled from my parents I actually feel glad I'm leaving. Aren't people supposed to be all teary and be saying "I don't wanna go and leave you all behind!" or whatever it is they say... How cold-blooded and bitchy that sounds.

Yesterday as I was waiting for my car to return from hou's little escapade his parents were asking me about my packing and going to Australia and that if I were in Melbourne I could look up his brother... to which I inwardly went "WTF?" I guess I was just taken aback by the immense cordiality and spontaneity his parents displayed, nothing more.
