On Cloud Nine

It was a beautiful day yesterday. A little gloomy but what was beautiful about it was that it was cool, as in temperature wise. For Malaysia, cool isn't even close to possible if one is on the lower grounds, but yesterday was perfect. To add on to the beautiful day was the fact that it was Friday. I absolutely love Fridays. Wanna know why? Well, this semester my Friday schedule (for college) ends at 9.15am. So, I zoom back home straight after class (since there's practically nothing to do on college grounds) and am back home by 9.30am. Seems like I barely missed the day yet, right? Funny thing is, I bumped into a friend while walking to the car and she's like "what are you doing now?" and I'm like "I'm going home." The look on her face was priceless (filled with jealousy and disbelief) as she gazed out (for a bit) and probably thought about how lucky I am to finish so early and she has to be stuck in college with one more class to go. ;)

The great day continued back home later that night when I logged on to my Facebook account to find out a dear friend of mine from Germany was also logged on. We chatted for about an hour before I had to leave for dinner. The chat was great. It reminded me of how much I miss those times in Wisconsin and how I am almost desperate to go back and meet all the people I've met during my AFS experience. She told me about the souvenir I gave her which was a Malaysian RM1 note and how she has kept it in her purse since she got it from me. It was quite flattering to know how a friend that I last met 2 years ago keeps those little things for remembrance. She told me that everyday when she opens her purse to pay for things, the RM1 is the first thing she'll see and it would remind her of the good amazing times we shared together both as exchange students. I miss her dearly and and vow to meet her again in the future. Same goes to the other AFSers who have been dear friends of mine. :)

Moving on to today. I was a tad nervous at first as it's the day I would receive the result of a certain test I took 2 weeks ago. I honestly did not want to check it. Scared of failure if you ask me. But I still had to. Face reality. And in the end, it was not as bad as I expected it to be. I and thankful. I am grateful. Thank God I surpassed my expectations and I owe it all to Him. :)
