Four hours of sleep before I dragged myself from the bed, washed my face and jumped on the mini-bus down to central campus, this was what the beginning of my last day in school was like...

 

On the main road in between science building and the university library, tents were set up and chairs were located, a graduation ceremony is to be held soon for those who left in June. All of a sudden, I felt that I did not want to let go despite of all my bitching about how fed up I have been with the school work...it is so weird to realize that it is finally over, officially. And I guess the weirdest thing of all is the time of my graduation which makes it feel even more unreal...

 

As I sat next to the big blue swimming pool and talking to stephanie, I recalled the time when the school bus took us from the airport to the school. And how it turned slowly as it arrived at the United College and parked in front of the Bethleham Hall. I still remember the faces of my favorite dorm staff. and of course the friends I've made there...Four years and a half ago, my life changed in three days as I went through the interview and accepted the offer...I would never have the chance to know how I would be like now had I stayed in Shanghai, but not for one second did I regret my choice because I enjoy being who I am now...

 

The sky is blue, the sun is shinning and the water in the pool glitters...people pass by and life goes on as usual...ahead of me is a whole new chapter with a great pool of choices and possibilities...and yes I am a bit lost, stunned, scared and excited...
