| | I Got Some Sunshine
KH made me get out of the house for some sunshine. Otherwise, he reasoned, i will turn into a plant.
A statement i found to be hilariously ironic. I mean, i don't need sunshine, but a plant would.
But nevertheless i left the house, and strolled around the university at 4pm because the breeze was just right.
Guess what came in the mail for me?
My name in exclamation! Trust Melissa to come up with something like that. She sent me a 5-page letter and multiple shades of blue and a Calvin and Hobbes quote "Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the univerise is that none of it has tried to contact us."
Along with,

Terharunya. She even wrapped it in random Chemistry notes She's going to do Chemistry in Oxford soon. so that i wouldn't forget her.
Would you believe that i've only seen Melissa once in my life, but she's once of the most remarkable people i've ever had the fortune to meet. She says the most incomprehensible, random things. She wouldn't scoff at interpretive dancing or eating in the rain or singing Disney songs out loud. Actually quite the contrary, she'd nose dive into these things.
Woman, you've made my day. :)
Though study week has been tremendously mundane. I feel as if my body's gradually morphing into an inorganic being. Hello, i even shit at the same time every morning now.
But emotionally, it has been rather fulfilling. To be all alone, and not have any humanly contact. It gives you a lot of space and time to FEEL. In between all that arduous studying of course.
To go through each routine action differently, like with an imaginary friend. To look out the window and watch the winds change direction. To hear your own uncluttered thoughts. The liberty of not having to put on a bra for 4 days.
My aunty Cynthia uploaded these pictures on Facebook a couple of days ago.
I LOVED THAT DRESS! I must've been the only 10 year old in the 90s who was still wearing frocks! I think that era of my sense of style lasted till i was eleven or twelve. All i wore back then were these girlish dresses with bows at the back and frilly socks and hairbands!
I like looking at old pictures although they make me cringe. That is why i never untag my hideous pictures on facebook because that's all you have left of times you've walked by.
I also like it when i see my secret on Postsecret, even though i didn't post it. This has happened so many times i can't even begin to illustrate the creepiness of coincidence. But it's comforting, to learn that you're not and will never be, alone.
I know i look ghastly and that waitress is staring at us. But KH looks good, so yeah.
On Tuesday he called me because he missed me and we talked for about 2 hours. I know that statement sounds very run of the mill for some but it's rather rare for us because that's not how we normally function.
And i began to feel so in depthly thankful for us being such idealists. I mean, if we were one of those people who had to say "I miss you" 23984 times a day, how would i know when he truly does, and when he's just saying it.
If we have to hear each other's voices every 15 minutes, it becomes an obligation, not a longing.
Today, i found out my wholemeal bread has lived 3 days past its sell-by date. And the cafeteria guy gave me the world's largest slice of watermelon. Un-FML.
This week may be what i shall dub the "Solitary Confinement in AIMST" week, but it is no doubt the most fun i've had since i got here.
