My paper is done, it has been handed in, my ties with the school are pretty much over in terms of academics. Now I just have to wait for the grades to come out in a week or two.
My parents are in town so everything has become much more hectic. They were helpful on moving-out day, and now my book collection is packed and shipped back to Hong Kong (it was expensive and required much labour, but it is totally worth it. Love you, Stephen Colbert and Richard Dawkins; best authors ever!).
Oh yeah, I've long since moved out of my apartment near campus (that dump!), and surprisingly enough I don't miss living in undergrad housing. I thought I would feel a tinge of nostalgia, remember long summer days laying on the bed looking up at cloudy skies; only that such scenarios never happened. My sophomore summer was spent going to class in record-breaking heatwaves, and my junior summer was packed with my part-time job and my internship. Never even saw blue skies.
And today was my last day on campus and saying goodbyes to my friends over in L.A. I shouldn't blame my parents, but it is awfully difficult trying to take my time and enjoy my 'last moments' when you know you have to rush around and meet their needs as well. The 24 hours in my day aren't meant only for me. At the very least I'll be seeing some people again this summer (professors and classmates) and others in the near future when I go to graduate school. Boo yar!
So, heading to Vegas tomorrow....not drinking, not partying, not going to gamble; not even sure why I am going. But my parents wanted to go to the Grand Canyon and Vegas, so I might as well go with them before I leave L.A. for good. Sort of wish I didn't have to go and sit for a while longer with my university friends, but to sound wise for a moment, goodbyes are inevitable.
Shoot. Still have to finish my doujinshi page for G00.
