WARWICK!
Hellooo so I am going to the land of scholars! I heard Warwick is crawling with Singaporeans and scholars... and I heard it is fantastic for lit. Gosh, I will miss lit so much. Sometimes I wonder if I am making the right decision by giving up a major in lit, but then I think I think I think it's okay... if only I was damnnnnn brainy then I could do BA (Law) in Oxford and like get to do lit modules!!! But alas, I am not that intelligent!
And because Warwick is the land of scholars and I am not that intelligent I am going to stick out like a sore thumb. T_T
The good news in that there will be many little secondary school kids from Singapore and JC kids on overseas field trips that will come by Warwick and I will get to see them if I'm lucky... because Stratford upon Avon is not too far away. I study/live at Leamington Spa in Warwickshire :) Which is a pretty town. Stratford I heard is for... *cough* white trash and people get burgled a lot there :/ I also live near Birmingham, which seems nice although I can't for the life of me recall much about the place except that Baz (I think) used to live live there... then again I no longer keep in touch with her so my Friend Counter when I go over will be a very, very dismal number (i.e. zero!!!).
I am a little bit excited. Why I am excited I know not myself, but I am... just a little. The most part of me is still emotionless because I think I don't fully realise the ramifications of the confirmation of my departure in (less than) a month. For now it seems like I am still very much here, and going to be here... whiling away my time in Barker. I think I'd somehow much rather deal with the boys who make me so upset that I sometimes feel like crying.. than to leave. I think I am mostly upset and unwilling to go because I know once I leave I won't be back for another 10 months! WOW! I haven't been away for that long before. Well, I have, just... not alone sans parents. :( I know my parents will worry about me, but funnily enough, I know I will also worry about them..
Sigh. I'm so glad though.. for all the new people I've met so far this year. The lawyers, the judges, the teachers in my school now... :) I think it really is the little things that matter.. I guess I remember the big things, but the little things you just store in the recesses of your mind and when time calls for true reflection and an evaluation of your life... I think it's the little things that define us more. The big things... they are great and everything but somehow, they just don't matter so much anymore.
I would like to say, taking into account everything that has transpired and everything that awaits me... that there are butterflies in my stomach!
But there is no need for anxiety and I should try to calm my nerves.. because my Lord is a constant. And he knows all the things I don't know and that I will need to know. He will carry me through the happy, sad, lonely, warm, cold moments... :D
