That's how it has been for me every single day since I've been here in Lafayette, Indiana.
By having to do everything on my own, and not being able to rely on anyone at all anymore.. it has been a little challenging. Sometimes just to get the strength to do it all on my own I have to give a call either to him, or to my other homie girlfriends not necessarily to get a pep talk, but just to listen to their voice. That is how it has been every single day since last Saturday. Every day I learn something new.
Saturday: Walked around my neighbourhood with a map in hand and found the pedestrian bridge to cross the river. I was so proud of myself. Except now I learned that I took the LONG way there, when I could have just taken the short way and it would be like 10 mins from my apt.
Sunday: Too much silence really isn't good for me. I don't think I can ever really get used to living on my own. After a year with BO and Annie... ahhh the silence in my apt is unbearable for me!
Monday: Took the bus for the first time from my apartment.
Tuesday: Figured out my way around campus. Found the bookstore. Made a new friend.
Wednesday: Learned that there are over a hundred Malaysians and numerous Singaporeans studying in Purdue. Walked to campus coz of my early morning confusion about which bus to take (too long a story to tell). Luckily I had Hui on the phone to accompany me on my walk along the highway.. -__- Sat on the bus for an hour just to get back home safely. It sucked, but at least I now know that buses change their numbers when they reach the final destination of the route. Who would have known... sigh.
And tooodaaayy's Thursday.. will let you know what lesson will come my way later..!
