hi:) this will probably be my last post from LA. I'm finally done with my finals. having 6 finals in 1 week is pretty exciting, i must say but I hope I don't have to face that situation in the future. I was too excited the entire of the day to feel nervous for the finals. Anyways, I'm flying out of LA tml 1.10pm 13 december, LA time! really excited about going home.. Plus, my sister is bringing home strawberriers from Japan and according to her the strawberries are really juicy and sweet. yummy!!:)
I guess I'll have to lose some of the weight that I've gain here as well..sigh. and to think my appetite is not even half as good as back home and I gain weight. at least I think I did. urgh.
I guess I'm glad that I came here for exchange because one only really become truly more independent when you are overseas, living alone. And when you are overseas, some how, it appears that you have a better idea of what you want. We always think the grass is greener at the other side. But too often, you realise that what you see on TV is the glamourous side of things and is probably only reflective of 10% of reality. It teaches you to be more appreciative of the many things that you have always taken for granted.
I'm not even sure if I will miss LA much. I definitely will miss the family friend here who has been bringing us around (for our last meal in LA, they brought us to this Italian family restaurant and the food and dessert is soooo good). Nothing much besides that I think. Probably the weather here, since I'm more afraid of the heat than the cold. But nothing else. At least I don't think so now. We'll see.
Anyways, can't wait to see everyone soon! Got to do the remaining of my packing!!! take care:)
cheers,

hihihi, feeling a bit delirious now. I had 3 back-to-back finals today and I didn't have time for lunch and the dinner at all the dining halls are soo horrible there wasn't much to eatso I'm a bit not in the right mind and surviving on adrenaline now.
It was exciting..going from one finals to another. The most incredulous thing happened in my last final. One of my professors, the one I always describe to be psychotic, came in late for the exam - he just has to be late every single time - and then he told us, 'the true/false segment of the final isn't ready yet (i.e. he hasn't finished setting the questions, let alone print it) so you all start doing the essays first'. And all of us were like, what? and we started laughing. Trust him to do the wierdest things. On the first day of class he came in to the classroom without bringing a non-permanent marker and he started drawing graphs and because there was a duster he used his saliva to clean it!!! the grossiest thing that I've ever seen and everyone was like looking at each other in shock.
Anyways, so 3 finals are done and I'm left with 3 more!!!! I'm going to start packing tonight!!! So exciting..I'm addicted to japanese songs now..strange. I've no clue what they are singing but the songs sound nice enough.
I've said it like a million times already and i'll say it again - I can't wait to go home!!! That's the only reason why I'm so excited about exams.. anyways, need to start my packing!! hope to see everyone soon before I re-bury myself under a pile of books and readings next semester:)
cheers,
