right, so my inspiration for joining blogger is definitely ARC. no, i don't want to shy away from any form of acknowledgements, and i think it is essential for me to mention the person who motivated me to join this.
i'll be leaving for college in another 2 weeks time. a different country, a different city. different cultures and different people. i don't sit at the 'i-expect-such-and-such' table and ponder over anything in particular. i'll take life as it comes, and yes i'm excited about college. if you ask me about homesickness - i don't know how far that is going to creep into my system, but i'm sure it won't paralyse my thought processes. departures are usually painful -i've seen the drama that goes on in the airports with mothers and daughters laced in embraces while the father is usually the pacifist (trust me, guys don't get away that easily) -but there are always two sides to a coin. you leave a heap of imaginations behind. you're semi-confused whether you should feel sad about leaving or excited about meeting new people. you tend to see through those tears -they don't matter to you any more, because you're out of the cage that circles you. yet you pause for a second, exchanging glances with the unknown, and you ask yourself -am i really doing this?

bon voyage in advance.
You wonder if 'we're really doing this', and yet your post makes it so unbelievably real it's almost chilling.
We're really finally into the deep end, and just learning how to swim.
But maybe that's what makes it so beautiful, the fact that we've been plunged into it so suddenly, just when we were beginning to grasp onto those invisible ropes and unfortunately realize that it's only the water that surrounds us, and will ultimately be the one to save us or scare us.
How deep is the pool? That's for you to tell.
@ aruni rc: thank you
@ nemesis: i know exactly what you mean. the depth is more than often difficult to gauge.
aww..tonks finally showing a soft side. You'll be fine and soon wrapped in someone's arms (and I'm not talking about your mother),
@ basu: well, i shouldn't really be commenting on that. my soft side, eh? :P
you know, i think once u get on that flight it'll be just the excitement. till then it'll be happiness n sorrow both. but ya, all the best..
