Missing the Little Things
More of the same with this entry. I apologize for having to post yet another "Waaah, I'm homesick!" entry. Seriously, I know it can get annoying but gosh, I never expected to feel this homesick this often. And from such silly little things, to boot! What triggered this feeling of homesickness this time was music. See, yesterday, I went to Tsutaya with Tal to drop off some CDs and decided to take a look at the video game music section (hint: I wanted the OST for a certain lawyer game). I found the FFVII: AC OST and, the culprit for this homesickness, the Final Fantasy XI OST as done by The Star Onions. I took a listen to it this morning and didn't know what to do with myself.
Holy shit.
Every song on there reminded me of Edwin and all the fun we had when we played FFXI for those three years. It all just came rushing back and I immediately wanted to talk to him and shoot-the-shit with him about those days long gone by. That was a big part of our lives for a long while, probably bigger than I thought because I had no idea I would home from that one soundtrack. Especially this month, because if I was still playing that game with Edwin, it would be fourth year I'd be playing. I really do long for familiarity. It's not something that presents itself too much over here. However, I do understand that I'll be in America for who-knows-how-long and in Japan for only a year, so I should enjoy it while I can. Still... It's not against the law to be homesick, is it? It's also not something that I can really control, either. Man...
Edwin, if you read this, call me when you can, man. Definitely. Doesn't matter the time.
It's the same with any DMX song. When I listen to anything by him, I immediately think of Nik and get homesick for his company. Man... I have things that remind me of all my friends, really.
Classes are such a joke over here. My goodness. I can't even begin to tell anyone how... repeatitive the classes are the classes here. It sucks. The classes also feel really pointless, in my opinion. I don't feel that I'm learning anything at all. Then again, the real learning happens outside out class anyways. Still... "WTF am I paying damn near 20,000 dollars for?!", is what I'm wondering. I dunno. I think today is an off day and I'm taking it out on the classes for some reason or other.
I'm sure things will be much better tomorrow.
Holy shit.
