Counting Down-this time, I mean it

It's really time to go home.
2 weeks left, neither long or short...Well, I mean having beem studying overseas for 19 months...

My parents never made it to visit me in Switzerland... Dad was retired...once, but he's even busier at work lately... Mom is busy for.... everything which is not her business... Bagel is turning to 3 years old soon. wow... I've had her for almost 3 years... but more than half of the time, I was not with her... I owe her a lot though...

Still remember packing my luggage for 'first time away from home living alone', I wanted to bring lots of instant noodles but there's a weight limit of luaage made me have to give up my noodles. Mom said that they'd bring them to me when they went visiting... Well... glad I didn't wait for them.. otherwise I'd be hungry to death already...

Time seems past exteremely fast these 19 months, but when I think of meeting my crazy silly Taiwanese friends, feels like it happened long long time ago. The first semester was awesome, I got to have Monica as my friend and taught her lots of Chinese cultures. She doesn't seem like other sick western girls... sorry to say that but the western girls in my MA class really suck...

Monica is a hard working girl though, no party for her either. I think it might because she's way out of that age and energy. and she loved the Chinese noodles I cooked for her, haha. Even she got a problem with her BF once, but she acted sooooo cool and I think she's a brave girl that I always want to be. Yeah... she's brave... I guess 10 times more than me.. Classmates for the first semester were nice too, like I was still in college. I enjoyed learning Spanish, Korean etc. with them.

Oh, for sure I couldn't forget the Korean F4 whom my Taiwanese friends loved one after another... hmm... nice try....

The working semester, unforgetful either. My working department held lots of parties which really drove me crazy... hours and hours of work a day. There're only two girls in my department including me. and that time, I really saw how lazy some guys could be at work... Just always tried to take a break when the manager's away. Always talks more than work.... But most of the other working days were easy. Makes me felt that it's so easy to earn money...really... too bad I couldn't work in Switzerland any more... otherwise I think I could afford traveling around the world or buy a car.... Oh.. and the experience of being to a court was cool even my friends thought that I was soooo unlucky.. but actually I really gained some benefits that I think it's worth...

Viann and Ivy were two main girls that I really appreciate having them as friends within this time. They went horse riding with me. They're just like typical Taiwanese college students which made me feel warm and always like to try new things. They traveled a lot around Europe. When you saw their passports, we could see they got lots of stamps for being to Europe. They're funny too, but in a different way than my other Taiwanese girls here. They also helped me a lot when I was studying for the MA.

Oh, can't miss the Valentines day of that semester. It's the first time I really got a valentines flower even though I think the guy's really disgusting... but the first valentines rose is worth remembering though.. haha.. I guess I'd only received flowers from my dad for my graduation of college before that...

And there were nice trips for this semesters too, people might think I'd have been crazy for those trips. When I think of that now, I would still wondering where my courage was from... But I guess been living alone overseas relly made me grown up a lot and be much more independent...

The MA semester, no much worth saying, all I remember was studying, studying and studying. But for the first few weeks was taugher, I had to deal with the sadness of missing home, missing my grandma and the memory of her funeral yet at the same time kept working on my seem-never-end assignments. It was good that I got a one month winter vacation in Canada with Tina's family which really made me forget about the messy work for a little while.

Now, all the assignments are done.Going home was the only thing I always expected for this semester, but I kind of want to stay, stay here for a little longer. It would be nice, or just make the time stop here.
