There was a vegan festival at the university today. As I live close by, I went there to have brunch with a friend. The weather was beautiful! It was chilly in the morning so I wore a pullover. Boy,that was a mistake. The 12pm sun was so bright and warm. Maybe starting next week, I can wear long sleeves. I had a language class at 2. Lowkey didn't want to go because I've have been so tired lately. I miss my mum so much. I get so teary eyed these past couple of months as soon as I encounter something remotely close to home. I was crying watching Pride and Prejudice, I was lonely listening to the audiobook. I cried watching Gilmore Girls a few minutes ago. I wish she can come here for my graduation. When she comes here, I can see how happy she would be to see my university.

It's uncharitable but - there's a tendency for online liberals/progressives to act like everyone from a immigrant-heavy community naturally and automatically supports universally liberalized and expanded immigration laws - and, like, I really can't help but feel this isn't a opinion you can sustain if you actually interact with any number of the people you're talking about.

The physics test is on Thursday, so I've studied some orbital mechanics. I've also written my EE, but I'm not even near the end.

International students in Toronto will be adversely affected by an impending federal rule that will limit them to working 24 hours a week off-campus when school is in session, students and advocates say. Immigration Minister Marc Miller said last spring the new rules would take effect in September, however a spokesperson for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada said in an email that the federal department is still working toward implementing the regulatory changes this fall. They could not provide a more specific timeline.  Miller previously said the 24-hour cap will ensure international students can focus on their studies, while having the option to work. "Students who want to come here have to realize that they can only work 24 hours in order to offset some of their costs or bring the material resources themselves when they come here," Miller said on April 29.

Today was a good day. Some of my friends graduated and I went to attend the ceremony. I was very happy for them. They deserved to be celebrated after putting in so much care in all the projects we did together.

At the ceremony, many parents also visited. It was endearing to see them cheer for their children. They bought flowers and cameras. Some of the graduates were people in their 40s and 50s who invited their spouses and kids to the ceremony. Some of the kids were so little and enthusiastic about waving hi to their mom or dad as they received the diploma.

It made me miss my family and I wondered if they'd be able to fly to Seoul to see me graduate. I could imagine how excited my mother would be as I made her meet my friends and showed her the campus.

So different from how I felt about myself last night as I cried myself to sleep. I felt like a lump of flesh thrown at my parents door and now they had to take care of it.

Anyway, after the ceremony, I went to have lunch with a friend and we talked a lot in the park with our iced coffees. The evening was perfect with its pretty sunset and the pretty shadow of the curtain on my cupboard. My online order also arrived! I would leave me if I could and I who has never known men.

When it grew dark, the cheerfulness of the day wore of and the loneliness caught hold of me. I missed mum. I don't know when I'll see her next. I called her (suppresed that I was crying), chit-chatted and hung up. 10 minutes later I allowed myself to call her and cry. I never call her when I'm upset because I know how much she'd worry about me. Today, I permitted, was granted.

End.

Exam season still sucks, even if you're in Japan…

It's currently finals week here in Okinawa and I've been locked inside the library until closure for the past 4 days. I am so tired guys, I swear I will make better posts as soon this is over.

I am quite happy with the progress I'm making with my calligraphy. I know it's nowhere near perfect yet, but I can see that it's getting better. I am also remembering a lot more 漢字(kanji), so I am quite proud of myself. I am however struggling a little more with grammar, so I am currently reviewing all of the grammar for next week's exam.

On the bright side, I did get an A on my animal behavior exam, which was actually very interesting! I'm pretty bummed out that the class ended tbh…

Even though 沖縄 (Okinawa) has a different dimate compared to the rest of Japan, we could still see some beautiful sakura blooms! I was quite surprised. It's nice seeing them on my way to the lab every morning; it makes the day a little more pleasant even during finals week.
