The Feeling

Its that time of the year again. The feeling is slowly seeping into your skin. Friends whom I have made while studying abroad are starting to return to Adelaide one by one. This year, I felt that time just fly.


The feeling of..

stepping into the plane, knowing you will reach that land within the stated time printed on the air ticket;

having to resettle back into study life;
having to leave your comfort zone and trying to find comfort in a foreign land;
unpacking and re-organising your room / house to make it feel as comfy as possible;
having to read through heaps of readings, finishing assignments and studying for the dreaded E word - EXAMS;
hearing your loved ones on the telephone and not being able to hug them;
wanting to be home when your home country has a public holiday and your "temporary" one doesn't;
spending time chilling out with your friends and catching up on each other's summer vacation;
driving to some region that you'd never get such an opportunity from where you come from;
basking out in the sun in bikinis and beach shorts, throwing frisbee, splashing seawater at your company;
cooking together and making your own student life more exciting;
celebrating your company's birthday(s) in a foriegn land;
getting to know that other person more;
hopping on the plane at the end of the year;
counting down to the day when you take your first breath of humid air;
seeing your loved ones at the end of the year;
hearing your family and friends saying, "You've put on weight".


Ok, you get what I mean.
