one month from today...
One month from today, I'll probably be on a flight alone, flying over 3600 miles to a continent that's in the shape of an eraser I have. Melbourne, seems like an entity I am so distant with, yet will come to be surrounded by come July.
Oh my god when it starts to finally sink in (it hasn't yet... much), I think I might freak out. It's such a huge change, and even though I'll be coming back for Chinese New Year, who's to say nothing much will happen when I'm there?
Socially, will I be able to get accepted by the peers I will come to befriend? Academically, will I be able to keep up with what is being taught?
I have heard of some horror stories from a couple of people who said they had had friends who couldn't get over the culture shock, and just quit after half or one semester...
And then there are those who actually manage to stay, but get too distracted by the bright lights and city life that they lose interest in what they are studying.
But I know I have great friends back home that will be there to encourage me should I feel that I'm falling... so I'm not as scared. After all, I'm a Sagittarius right - we love travelling and discovering new things!
AND I'm supposed to be an extrovert, which I'm unfortunately not (THERE YET), so I have to work harder! But the times I've tried being nice and friendly and taking the initiative and making the first move, I got a clinger -.-, so that dampens my spirits a little bit. :s
In any case, I'm off to watch my weekly McFly documentary (McFly on the Wall), wooo~

The conversation's getting stale
If you won't point it out, then I will
