Life's Weird... Not Incest Weird, More Like Sarah Silverman Weird

I came into summer with expectations. I expected things to be alittle weird, seeing these familiar faces once again after being seperated for so long while each of us have our own seperate lives, friends, experiences. I expected home life to be upsetting, fustrating, head pounding, you know, usual stuff. I expected people to change, to have seen the world and experienced new things and now have become different individuals. I expected to be monumentally bored.

Sure, all of these expectations turned out to be somewhat true one way or another, but truth of the matter is Summer of 08 will probably go down as the best 3 months of my teen years (yes i still use teen, because i have the chance to, cuz once i hit 20, teen hardly sounds appropirate anymore).  That was something i never expected. Having been to USA, the USA, i've expereinced so many new things and met so many new individuals, it kinda really sucked leaving there and comnig home with all these negative expectations hanging over your shoulders. 3 months did not sound fun at all. Sure the first 3 weeks kinda turned out to be a dud, and I quickly found myself counting down the days till my imminent departure but things changed. They kinda changed for the better, you know, hanging out with people got more enjoyable and less of the awkward catch-up small talk. I started remembering why I love hanging out with these silly silly people I call my friends and why JIS was truly memorable (albeit all the depressing moments). You know, we kind of made what we could of Brunei, we did things I don't think I would have normally done elsewhere but we did just because it was us, young and dumb. Family life got more nejoyable, espaically if you keep thinking of how there is going to be less and less time to spend with them. And the lack of curfew; turly remarkable.

So here I am, desperate for more time here in a complete reversal of my feelings 3 months ago. That's why life's weird. Or life's kinda sadistic and twisted. I dunno, you be the judge. So now that I have 5 days left, I truly began to reminisce the times we spent together, the photos we took, (the posters we stole, the pinnacles we climbed, the flying fishes we desperatly grabbed on to) and I can't help but to feel kinda bummed. I guessed I should be glad that things worked out
cuz truly, summer08, will never be forgotten.
