So is that Tieria or not? Eurgh, I'll have to wait until October to find out. By that time, I would have graduated from college, and will be proceeding towards my graduate programme either in HK or UK. What an uncertain future all twenty-somethings must suffer through. I'm definitely leaving LA, but I'll be sad to part with the environment here.
I won't miss the sleezy bastards who keep trying to speak with me in Japanese, or the uppity rich blokes on campus who seem to have money to flush down the loo. But then I love the constantly 17C weather, the loud music being blared from the frat house next door, and the element of unpredictability. Who knows if you're going to get mugged tonight, or have a double homicide next door? How will I be able to sleep without the LAPD helicopters circling around above me at night? Or the midnight fire engine sirens?
HK is just like a little greenhouse, where everything is so controlled and regulated. I felt as though I grew more in LA than I did in the decade I spent in HK before. Maybe after I'm done with everything I need to do I'll return to this city...
I must stop thinking such depressing thoughts! I'm in my early twenties, I should be excited and happy about going to new places and experiencing different cultures! I need to have the 'I-don't-care-about-whatever-happens-in-the-next-few-years' mentality! (In retrospect, I think there are some serious attachment issues here....as well the persistent fear of change).
PS: I had an inferiority complex a couple of days ago, when I realized I'm no long #1. But I've managed to get over it. First I need to finish my undergraduate stuff first, and worry later.
