it's over... where has the time gone?
Quantum always ends up my last exam, for some reason. Maybe it likes to be the one to leave the last impression, to linger in my brain whispering "Wanna know the meaning of life? Muahaha!! *cough* just keep reading about that H2 molecule... 'fraid it's going to take you a looooooooooong time before you know anything". At any rate, this exam went (hopefully) far better than last semester's disaster.I still don't feel any closure from third year; it hasn't hit me yet. This might have something to do with the fact that my exam schedule completely did not coincide with my roomies or my usual bunch of ppl outside of Nano. We never got together and had our usual dinner/drinking (i.e. Marcus topping up my plastic champagne glass again and again and again and leering at us small-time drinkers, trying to spread his joy in liquid form). As of now, we're all either completely or nearly completely moved out of our place, and that's that - all gone. I'm not the kind of person who gets choked up upon leaving a place; usually, I feel trepidation in the face of change, but that change usually translates into a necessity, and I just go through the motions and adhere to what is supposed to happen. Yet I think I have a lot more memories from this place - not only the house or the people, but more the area. The places I walk, the routes I take, the distinctive atmosphere of different areas that are all so close to one another - I really like the city. I'll enjoy house hunting for 4th year, it'll be fun. That all said, I have to say that being at home is rather nice - the breeze blows cleanly, it smells like flowers, there are rabbits to chase, and there is a morning dove nesting in my pine tree. And I'm just in the suburbs!
Anyways, after our exam, we had a little Nano class trip. I ended up being the sole representative of the female Nano 0T6 population (1/5), so with almost 20 boys, it was almost a guys' night out ;). Ate a Dish Called Wanda, and went bowling - I got 76, personal best!! (haha... sad, I know).
I wish that I had gotten to know everyone better, starting last semester. I've really only started this semester - what with ESC and Physics Labs and just having Nano-only (out of EngScis) courses. And let me tell you - I loooooooooooooved this semester. I've never felt a greater sense of community through all these years of university than the feeling this past semester. Thanks for that, you guys - I think I've changed the most as a person due to this year, and I believe it's for the better. My little microcosm is not nearly as oppressive as it's felt in recent years. There are so many of you that I would love to have regular coffee dates with - there are always interesting things to talk about. Plus there's an outlet for all of those quantum jokes ;)
Well, since I still don't feel any closure, it's fitting that this post has none as well - my thoughts have run dry, and I must get up early tomorrow for an Indonesian bazaar. Mmm food.

i don't know what ICC is, but it was held by UNICAS (some social indonesian club thing that my parents and relatives are part of) and it was held at the Korean Canadian Cultural Center. i don't know the names of 80% of the things i ate... but they were tasty :)
