Weird, isn't it?

Summer is drawing to a close, and soon I will have to leave America and come back to Hong Kong. It has been a fascinating summer, with lots of amazing friends and mates. I am going to miss everyone that I met in this 2006 Stanford Summer course.

When I first came here, I was freaked out. I am not sure if I will fit in or not. But after a while, it was a relief to realize there ain't no mean people here. It sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? How can there be not a single mean person in the couple hundreds residents in Lagunita. But the truth is, there isn't even a single one. Sure, there are a few odd ones, but everyone is nice and friendly. Within a week, a comradeship has blossomed.

The first 5 weeks flew by at the speed of light, and suddenly everyone realise that there is only 3 weeks left. How can that be possible? It seems that we have only been together for less than 1 week. What happend to all the loud card games and swearing at night? And now the summer is drawing to a close within 2 days. After 2 more days i will be flying back to Hong Kong. It's all going horribly wrong!!! I just met a few more ppl, and now I have to left? Just when I felt like I can live here for the rest of my life?

It's especially sad since we have to left the day after our finals are over. Why can't we stay here for one or two extra days? Right now, everyone is busy studying, and the once busy hallways is left empty and silents. It's tempting to go play with other ppl, but deep underneath we all understand that we must prepare for our finals. Afterall, that is the reason why we came here, isn't it? What makes thing worse is that we will all one day forget about each other. Maybe except for those who live close to each other. It happend all the times. For example, I have completely lost touch with all the people that I met from the Harrow School Summer camp, and most of my friends from my old school. It is even sader when you live next to these ppl, and see them every single day, even during the weekends. There are no parents or relatives to disturb you, and all that matter are your friends. I am not exagerating when I say we are a family.

And when I think that one day I will forget about Tifanny, Sharon, Joon, Mack, Zlakto, Philip, Josh, Ahmad, Dalsher, Garett, Abbey, Jilian, John, Kyle, Brett... It's unbearable. All of a sudden, I wish that time will past faster, so I wouldn't have to think about them anymore, so it will hurt less............
