It's the end of the exchange..
I've probably used up my 5 years of tears saying goodbyes to people I love.
They made the trip so wonderful and worthwhile. I'm so glad that I made the decision to go to Japan, would not have met these awesome people if I didn't.
I'm in Melbourne now.
I met this middle-age Japanese guy who sat next to me on the plane. He thought that I was a Japanese and started speaking Jap to me when he sat down. He said I look totally like a Japanese and he remembered that I was saying 'sumimasen' to someone before boarding (which I didn't realize at all). I was surprised but am glad that I had the opportunity to practise my Jap one last time before I start my new semester.
Had to attend classes not long after I arrive Melbourne in the morning. Going to classes in Melb uni and not bumping into DK friends are weird. Adapting to the previous system is difficult too =( and tiring.
I wish I had more time and I wish I had a short break.
My brother moved into a new house and it's still on renovation, so basicly the house has nothing. It's muddy and dirty as the landscape is not done yet. Furniture will only arrive 2 months later. Moreover the house is far away from my university and I need to wake up even earlier than when I was in Japan. Feels kinda discouraged getting home to a place which is not exactly a 'home' yet. I wish everything was already done and I wish I could just focus on getting back on track and focus on my last semester of university. I guess I need to go through this with my brother to ensure that we will create a better living environment for not only us, but our family too. Hopefully everything will become worthwhile in the end =)
Feel like crying everytime I recall the sweet moment in Japan. Have to deal with reverse cultural shock too. I need some encouragements and motivation to move me on.
I really miss Japan, and the people.
