100th post

This is my 100th post, out of which 22 were made here. Gosh, it's so hard to say goodbye. It's probably the thing I'm worst at. Saying goodbye.

Anyway, here are the things I'm gonna miss when I leave (not in any particular order):

1. The Texas A&M campus. The acres and acres of land. The MSC, and the grass that you're forbidden to step on. The beautiful buildings, which make those in NUS look like they're from the ghetto.

2. Basking in the sun. All those times on Dream Hill. Just lying there on the grass and enjoying the sun, without a care in my mind. Heck, not only Dream Hill. I miss ALL the times on the grass! Whether it was in Mexico, San Antonio, Washington DC, or Burnet haha.

3. Northgate. The convenience of having so many restaurants and pubs at my doorstep haha. Oh and the Dixie Chicken! Playing pool, drinking cheap beer ($2!) and the country music.

4. Road trips. Especially those in the French car haha. Oooh man, I love that car! Although it's really old, has no air-conditioning, and is quite dirty, it's the best ride! Anyway, I love being on miles and miles of highway. With fields of wildflowers around you, and herds of cows and farmland haha.

5. The French! Their goofiness, and crap. They really made my time here so much more fun haha.

6. The hospitality of Texans. Nobody really treats you like a stranger, and everyone is really friendly and nice.

7. The Aggie spirit. How everyone in the school feels like family. All the cheers, and "Saw 'Em Off"s everywhere. The strong sense of belonging.

8. My roommate hahaha. How she's always dancing around the room, giving me stupid names (sissy, napper, hoe, bad Asian...), and the random things we do together, like how we always try in vain to make the suitemates shut up (like playing the Aggie war hymn at the highest volume, at 3am in the morning). And that she'll wake me up for class haha. Oh and that we have the same sleeping habits (ie. go to bed at 3am, and wake up at 12pm). She always makes me laugh haha :)))

9. Lauren and her family. They've really made us feel like family :) And her mum makes the best food ever haha! And Lauren's always there to help, no matter what. Like how she always drives around, and gives me a place to stay when I'm sick of the prison cell known as my dorm room.

10. Everything is bigger in Texas. Bigger portions of food, bigger cars, bigger people haha.

11. How Texas has its own culture. The cowboy hats (I have one!), boots, belt and plaid shirts. Their slang (yall, fixin' to do something etc). Tex-Mex.

Ok, that's all I can think of now. I'm sure there's more, just that everything is floating aroudn in my brain now so I can't really think haha.

Now I gotta go back to my books and packing. I did NOTHING today. Like I woke up at 1.30pm, then went out with my roommate. And just now I was at the Dixie Chicken with the other exchange students for dinner. Crap. I have LOTS to do, and that means no sleep tonight haha. Oh well.

This love isn't good unless it's me and you
Stick your hands inside of my pockets
Keep them warm while I'm still here
