EMPTY WALLS

Of all the things that I could have done to procrastinate, I had to choose starting another blog. Because having a 5000-word essay and two exams coming up in the next 3 weeks isn’t enough to stress me out or cause me to have, at least, a microscopic speck of panic.

Also, I already have an active blog on Blogger (which may or may not be abandoned if I develop a preference for WordPress) but the pretty themes available on WordPress sufficed to make me swoon and lust for a new one. Mainly because my ability to have any form of self-control is little to none.

Today, I also decided to take down my fairy lights, in preparation to go back to Malaysia. Oh, did I not mention that I am FINALLY graduating from university? Sorry, my bad. After all, there isn’t much to say about my degree. Law, is all but interesting to me, although I will miss Sheffield quite a bit. Not the city in its entirety but rather the places I frequent and also my little flat, which I have grown to really love in the last two years.

So currently, my wall is empty. A pristine white, or rather, beige since that’s what the management decided to paint it. And it leaves me a little sad. Because in three weeks, all this will be over, and in three months, I fly home.

Home. I don’t quite know where that is anymore because I’ve lived as a student nomad for 2 years, making my flat in Sheffield my home. But they do say that home is where the heart is, so I guess I’ll have to move my heart back to Malaysia with me too.
