[Part 2] 126. Heavy heart for a multitude of reasons.

What if I don't want to say goodbye?

But the truth is that I have to and I should start bracing myself for it.

I just read a friend's blog and I feel sad all over again. How things are going to be "one of the last few times" these days saddens me. Just 2 more weeks of school and then it's farewell to many people and another 3 weeks on my own with Jeannie and Phyllis and then it's farewell to Korea. These friendships and relationships forged in 5 months, I'll never forget, for the rest of my life.
Also, I shouldn't scrimp on my last few weeks here because I want to do what I've always wanted to do. If only I know of a quick and fast way to make money (legally)!

Maybe I'm just PMSing, and maybe I'm not at all. But I feel quite depressed these days and I've been thinking about the current state of things. Maybe that's why I'm turning to ice cream almost everyday as a source of comfort...emotional eating at the risk of growing sideways. Seeking solace in sugar. I had a slice of chocolate moouse cake in Soul Kitchen Coffee yesterday after dinner.  Today, it was German Chocolate ice cream at Coldstone Creamery. I wonder what's up for tomorrow.
Jeannie's right. By doing what I did, I made myself vulnerable and not knowing what will happen over the next few months, perhaps, it's only right if I start taking a back seat and learning to retreat to protect myself. But I mean, I set myself up for all these when I took the initiative so there's a price to pay and I should just face it.  But I lack the courage to do so :(

And after reading another blog, I feel sadder than ever, knowing what I've done to someone then and now even though we're not contacting each other anymore. I know you're reading this: I didn't throw both items away. In fact, I brought them both to Korea with me to remind me of you and to remind me of what I've done and what I should never do again. The things I did to you, they'll haunt me for life. I know I'll get my retribution. Because it's karma. And I would rather you hate me.

Somehow, I've been sleeping more and more these days. Just the other day, I woke up at 12pm and today, 11am. I rarely do this, waking up between 7.30-9pm usually. But these days...

I spent the afternoon working on my Consumer Behaviour PPT, dropping by school for a 2 hours meeting with Jinsung and Yuhong, but there was no internet in school because they changed the system and I didn't know how to use it.  We had BBQ for dinner and totally stank after that. A German chocolate ice cream at Coldstone Creamery later, we headed to Soul Kitchen Coffee to study before I came back to blog and yes, to resume work on the PPT. Yuhong, you better drink the 3 packets of yuza tea I gave you and make sure you're alright and can present on Tuesday. I don't want to present!!!!!!!!!!

Hey!
Thank you :)
No, most exchange students in KU are not from NUS Biz! There are about 700 exchange students this semester and only about 20+ of us are from Singapore. If you're talking about Singapore exchange students in KU, there's quite a fair mix of students from all 3 universities. However, I don't really know the other Singaporean students, other than my friends here!
Fear not, you'll make friends here, especially with the buddy program, KUBA! And soon, you won't want to leave Korea, like me :)
