and so they say.

Sam says that:

"We cannot understand happiness if we're never sad,
and we cannot treasure love if we've never been hurt or alone."

And i believe him. Yes I do. You never know how much you should treasure something that it's been lost. You never know how much your friends are a part of you till you're a gazillon miles away from home. Yup. So thanx Sam. For those words of advice. I'll remember them. Which ironically, though deep inside I already knew, it's taken someone to voice it out.

In any case, my exams begin tommorrow. And I can only say that as much as I dread the fact that it begins tommorrow, I'm anticipating the journey home as well as that John Mayer concert that's beckoning once this whole fiasco is over. I appreciate the support - I appreciate the nice post it note that got left on my table just, I appreciate the mac that got so willingly and voluntarily loaned to me because my computer just decided to die, I appreciate the discounts I get for the copious amounts of coffee that I buy just to sustain my existence and energy, I appreciate the 85% cocoa chocolate that got left in my mailbox, I appreciate the thoughts and prayers. So yes. Thank you. and though, it's still too early to perhaps reflect on this year, one thing stands out..it's hard to have made it without any of you. I promise that I'll leave crankiness behind when I turn 21. hee hee.

So in all my optimism, I'm going to meet that exam demon tommorrow head on, with my friend caffeine and all those words of wisdom + of course, the BIG GUY above.

I'll live to tell the story. you betcha i will.
