So my parents are here to see me graduate and to check out my game plan for the future. Yeah... I have no game plan. None which is solid anyway. My best friends are all asking me to stand up for myself. To tell my parents: Right, I did the degree you wanted me to do. That's it. Here on, I start doing what I wanna do. Sigh... If only it were so easy. Thing is, I don't feel like I've accomplished anything. My grades were practically appalling. No one has said it out loud but the feeling is there. My parents have been so far supportive on the topside but who knows what's beneath the surfacial perspectives? Could be harsh going. None more harsh than my own because I know I could have done so much better. That just really bites.
Anyway, enough whinning. T does enough of that for half the people I know. No offense honey but I'd already said it to you. :p So, my aunt is here tomorrow. I'm picking her up from the airport. I can't wait. It has been a very long time since I have seen her. We used to meet up at least twice a week in the good ol' days. ;)
Game plan: stay abreast of stuff. Get a job. Otherwise, get my sorry ass deported back to HK to get a job. Either way, I still need that job!
Funny thing is, most of my friends from uni that I've known for three years have all sort of disintegrated and moved on to doing their own things. I've always been able to pick up and leave easily so I've no problems but this time what throws me is that I have no home to return to. The country my mother lives in only accepts me on a two week visa. There are no job opportunities where my dad lives and HK is devoid of family excluding my aunt and my lil bro. It's kinda sad. I think in a way, we all dream of the good ol' days and how good it used to be once upon a time...
