Finally back on home soil!
To be fair, I kept my arrival pretty secret from my friends and some of my family. I felt like I didn't want to make a big deal out of it so I told them I was arriving at a later date. Turns out my plan to surprise them backfired as they got kind of mad when they saw me 10 days before I was expected to arrive.
I'm not sure if I am happy or relieved to be back. Happy because I know that I can sleep in and choose not to do anything school related for the day or relieved that I don't have to worry about money anymore. Finances always scare me.
It feels so weird now that when I was catching up with a few friends that I realised some of my schoolmates were either leaving soon or have already left. It's weird that just last year, I used to see them 6 days a week for 8 hours a day in school and now, I hardly get to spend 20 mins with some of them. I guess this is what happens after high school. I do get a sense of relief that even though we haven't seen each other in months, we could still talk like how we used to, and that makes me feel at home.
Friendships are so hard to keep. It's so easy for people to just lose contact. Although there's all these social media sites to keep their contacts in store but really, who has the time now to private message someone from the past? Liking an instagram picture hardly counts as "still in touch".
Deep down I know who is worth the late night yumchas and the early morning runs with. I just hope I'm like that to them to.
Anyways, enjoying all the Vitamin D and the excess UV rays here. Hoping to get a tan! Also, the mosquitos must've missed my blood so much that they can't get enough of it. Tropical life. *pun intended*
Personal statement should be the last thing on my mind.
