I just had a very relaxing, nice heart to heart with some of my school/hall mates. It started out with just J and I at the garden, then YJ and C joined us a while later. Somehow from around 11pm we talked till 2am (with M and G joining us towards the end); I have so many things to do and so little time but this was something I was really glad I gave my time for.

We had fun talking about fun things like school life, hall life, even joking around with "potential couples" in school and then pointing out that it isn't uncommon for people to get a lifelong partner in uni. As the night wore on we started talking about more serious things, such as how we are bound by our grades and how grades are not supposed to matter so much, to things like relationships and advice (mutually exclusive). I haven't talked to friends at such a deep level for so long, and it was a really nice feeling being with them late at night, taking time off from this hell week and just relaxing together. Such simple times are the ones in uni that I would truly treasure, because it's the "boring" times that really matter the most. Amidst the hectic lifestyle that is uni and the build-up of stress, I found my friends. And I can't be more thankful to God for granting me such wonderful companions in this place.

I think I am slowly beginning to know this place as home.
