My last semester.


Remember those cheesy lines you see on telly? Saying everything you want to say at a person's face in a mad rush and you give the other person two seconds to respond while you bite your lower lip hoping the answer would come sooner?
I had my magical moment too.
In fact, I do happen to remember everything word by word. It went-

"I have no idea how to do this, but I know I really want to do this. Do this with you. Will you take me in?"

And he said the magic words. "sure, let's do it"
I got my Oscar. This is it.
Dumbledore would want me for a daughter. I love the world, and I wont chase away those stray dogs in campus that attempts to smell my butt (or rub against my jeans). Ohh..la..la!

My professor agreed to be my mentor for my imaginary dissertation on an undecided topic. Yipee-ki-yaay! And I dropped off his course dutifully to concentrate more on my "research"

Months after that episode, I'm now 'm at a place where I watch the last days at university go by. So, I formally take this opportunity to reminisce some of the things I would truly miss.

#1 The long walks. And memories that comes with it. Jeeveey-Jeeveey!
#2 Adamantly believing there's a presence watching your moves in your room, who is not your roommate.
#3 Throwing away a bucket from my room in sixth floor to illustrate projectile motion and later losing the bucket to a tree.
#4 Making my ex-roommate throw clothes out of window, because the tee you wore for last class and silent holes in it. Noone knows why.
#6 Cribbing about university and tagging professors. Which was totally not social shaming, mind you.
#5 Taking romantic bathroom breaks in zero watt bathrooms.
#6 Subjecting clothes, plates, market produce and most importantly, myself to the necessity called washing.
#7 Wishfully dreaming of foods I can't have.
#8 Some special days : Like getting drenched in rain right after suffering a minor concussion and thoroughly smiling through the episode because of the person you are with.
#9 Turning into booga (she-who-must-not-be-tamed)--
aand midnight lullabies from scary cats. Don't believe me? Here's a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUhIYb640B0

So long, academics! You shall be sorely missed.
