'This is to certify that MARIA IZZAH ROHANI FRANCO TIAMA has completed all the requirements for the award of BACHELOR OF COMMERCE'. - John Rowe, Director of Student Services
Not since the untimely death of some favoured HP characters or the unrequited I Love You's in sms's or the sweetness of random messages has a piece of paper ever subjected me to a weird hybrid between tears of euphoria at the sweet possibilities my degree will offer me and the doors it will open, yet at the same time, the sorrow that my undergraduate journey, from foundation days in Miri, Malaysia, to my final semester here in Perth, Australia, has finally, and truly ended.
Its been such a hard and long ride. Ive grown up, Ive lived, Ive loved.
I feel so old yet Im only 21, and at the same time I feel so young I cant believe I already am 21.
Methinks i deserve a vacation.
You all can tell me ONE thing you would like me to do now that I have graduated. Lol.
"There is no line between the 'real world' and the 'world of myth and symbol'." - William S. Burroughs, 1914-1997
Its a crazy world we live in when I read news and the headlines are that Angelina and Brad have adopted a child from Vietnam, Britney Spears is bald, Daniel Radcliffe is no longer sweet Harry Potter and is naked and *doing it* on London stage, Usher is engaged and The OC is ending. And the sad fact that I care a little kinda makes me even sadder. I know, I know, my friends have mocked me enough already :)
I dont know why, but I was living under a rock the past week due to much discoveries (Ive discovered New York Cosmopolitan, vodka lemon lime and bitters and goon, on the same day), social activities from laser tagging( Im such a queen at it and you all should always have me on your teams when we play), beach bumming, working the dancing scenes, playstationing, shopping, being with my loved ones and book reading (what?!), and just generally being 21.
And I hate that he and I are just too damn mature about what could be and are focusing that we couldnt be. My decisions on many things are irrational, yet on love I feel like Im stuck at always making the 'right' choices and sometimes I wish I could just make a wrong choice for once.
But at the end of the day I know Ill pick the 'right' one, despite all my protests to the contrary.
I think that my ability to get PERFECT in Soul Caliber, using absolutely every character (except Astoroth coz he's just heavy and slow) is a sign that I have a lot of inner rage going down.
And with that, welcome to my blog.
