Update from Melbourne.
Okay, admittedly for the past few days I haven't been blogging much because A) I was too tired to be bothered to upload pictures/make insightful posts, and B) Dad insisted I sleep at 12. I never actually do get much sleep anyway because he snores awfully loud. Uncle said I was 'terrible' to say that, but to be honest he says much worse things and gets away with them fine, and all I'm saying is the truth!Well, it's my..well, when I wake up tomorrow, it'll be my 4th day here. I actually can't believe it's only been my 4th. It feels like so long already. So far I'm actually kinda liking Melbourne. I don't know how the uni life is yet but yeah, I like it. It's a little bit weird that they ask how you are as a greeting, since Malaysians normally studiously ignore each other unless interaction is required, but I suppose I'll adapt.
What I am dreading, though, is saying goodbye to my dad on Saturday. I'm not actually dreading the fact that he's not going to be there as much as the actual saying goodbye part, and the whole psyching myself out thing that I know for sure I'm going to do (no point denying it when you know it's going to happen) I'm sure I'm going to cry buckets of tears again. Thanks very much to those who were going 'oh he's your last link to someone from your family here' 'Won't you miss him?' Well, if that isn't the stupidest question. OF COURSE I'LL MISS HIM, what kind of question is that?
I'll miss everyone who isn't here who I want to be here. But as they say, 'you've made your bed, now you have to lie in it', I was fully aware of this when I made the decision to come down. I guess I just have to cry, get over it, and move on knowing that they're not GONE. They're just..not here.
I guess that's why I've been taking so many photos lately. Even if I'm not there, I want to show them what my life is like while I've been here so they don't miss out. Stupid brother doesn't have a blog or I would poke him to blog and update me but he's lazy like that. (SPM is not an excuse, I don't care :P)
No photos today because I'm preparing to move into Normanby House tomorrow and I've packed everything. I don't have very long left because I'm running solely on battery power and my battery is kinda weak (probably from overcharging or something). Dad wants me to go with him to the airport, and to be honest with you I'm kinda dreading it - it would be far easier for me to get over it if I wasn't with him. But of course that's my problem, not his, and I guess I shouldn't be selfish and remember that I'm not the only one that has to deal with separation issues.
So let me tell you a little bit about Clayton campus..
...
...
...
Well, basically, the thing is gigantic.
The places where all the buses stop is right at the south end of the campus.
The residential places are riiiiiiight at the northeast end.
To give you a bit of perspective, it's something like 30 minutes from one end to the other.
To give you a bit MORE perspective, I have to walk there, and then catch the shuttle bus from there to Caulfield. Total travelling time is about 45 minutes or something like that?
Fun. Gee, I can't wait for winter.
X.x
On the bright side, Woei Lin can't accuse me of not jogging any more because going TO the House is all uphill.
What a nightmare.
I guess it's exercise though so bro, you don't have to worry about me getting fat if I'm going to walk some 40 minutes every day uphill and downhill.
Anyway..battery is about half gone so I should probably go to sleep soon. Night all and will update when I get into the new campus and have applied (and gotten) Internet.
