Anyway, today marks the beginning of November and I've been here for 2.5 months now. But it feels much longer. There are so many things that have happened which makes me think that I've been here much longer. All the many little things that have happened, plus the never-ending homework. I feel that I've done so much work here, but it's only just a half-sem gone by. Well, I can't wait to be back though. I guess I thought that I won't miss home so much, having studied (overseas technically) in Singapore for 7 years, but I really do miss home. Sometimes, just thinking of home makes me tear (like right now). I miss my family most, which is unexpected really since I don't think my family is never that close, but yeah I miss my parents and my brothers. Don't get me wrong though, I like studying here. It's been a really eye-opening, unique, if not valuable, experience. One of the things that I regret though is that I haven't really mixed around more with Americans. Mostly I just hang out with the Singaporeans. Not that it's bad, but I guess being in US, you should really try to mix around with other people more. But hanging out with the Singaporeans really gives me a comforting feeling. I can't really describe it, but it just feels right to be with them. We can talk freely in our Singaporean accent, and to me, it feels liberating. I don't know, but I find that whenever I talk with Americans, I always adopt a weird accent that I find so unnatural. I can't help it; it doesn't even sound remotely like American accent. I've a few close Asian American and even fewer Caucasian friends though, people that I can really talk to. Most of the Americans I know are just acquaintances, people you say 'hi' to but nothing else besides that. But hanging out with the 4 of them (Jessica, Xinghao, Jiaqi and Mingwei) can really make me feel better. We can have the most lame, corny, random and out-of-point conversations ever, which can really make me laugh till my stomach hurts. And I'd feel so much better after that. I guess they're mostly the reason why I'm enjoying myself here.
Oh well..rushing off now. Gotta start doing my interp reading and study for calculus test tmr. Ugh.
