My course rocks!
I am actually quite enjoying it at the moment.
And being back in Exeter is not at all as bad as I thought it might be. I have quite an affection for the old place really. Yesterday I met up with Ben at the Imperial and then walked back home via main campus, which meant I was wandering, lost in my thoughts, for about forty-five minutes. It's a strange feeling - walking down a path that you used to walk along every day, in a past life of four years ago. I was thinking how many steps in strange lands have I taken since these feet walked these Devon pavements? What real-world difficulties have I faced since those stress-filled student days? I should be proud of myself really. And it's cool that after everything, I'm back here, in a stable world that I know. The campus has changed quite a bit - new buildings here and there, but I'm smiling being back
Another thing I did as I was walking was put all my thoughts into Japanese, so that I created a kind of narrative for my journey. That put me into a mood of nostalgia and I got back and emailed my old eikaiwa students in Japanese to see how they're getting on. No reply yet though - have they forgotten me already? Haha.
もうそろそろ秋祭りの時期やろうね。いいなぁ。
