you may know i'm one for remembering random stuff and to that end one such random piece of stuff is that it was exactly a year ago (yup, and almost to the minute too, in fact) that i arrived back here from exchange. One year since the end of one of the best times i've spent in my close-to-quarter-century (eek! - and i say that both cos of the age and cos Bingo just made a prolonged gagging sound which made me think he was barfing - false alarm thankfully) of life so far.
Hmm my last couple of days really don't seem too long ago when i think of it - the time spent at Urbana and the valuable lessons learnt from there, the 14-hour bus ride back to Chapel Hill from St. Louis whilst suffering the unpleasant after-effects of eating 16 White Castle hamburgers in two sittings within a five or so hour period (kinda like how Bingo probably feels now), the last minute picture-taking and what not on the Hill itself, then the looong flight back here, featuring the lady in front of me during the Chicago-HK leg of the flight surprised to see me taking a flight alone cos she thought i was all of 13 years old (i kid you not). And since coming back boy has it been one heck of a ride eh...
Ah well - memories are meant to be cherished and all, but i guess not to be obsessed over - though personally speaking i can't see how the next semester or even year ahead could match up to the five months in total spent there - we'll see how things go nevertheless... [And anyways, while the USD continues to perform as masterfully as it has as of late, hopefully a trip back looms in the near future (or at least before it strengthens again) - so i guess, it's until then =)]
