Yes, this is my second post in two days. Yes, I have never written this frequently in a while. And yes, both posts deal with battling home sickness.
I woke up to an overcast Sunday, perfect moping weather. That pit in my stomach telling me this room is not home refused to go away. But I've been at it all day, making a list of things I could do to shake this feeling off. After all, a new semester starts tomorrow, an exciting class and all my friends back in town.
I also decided to put down my list on the blog. Just in case.
a. CLEAN: I scrubbed and scrubbed the bathroom. Man, it does take my mind of things. And the smell of a clean bathroom does make me happy.
b. TEXT: I messaged all the loved ones, had long conversations and laughed about silly things. Till it was time for those halfway across the world to go to sleep.
c. COOK: I went back to Manjula Aunty's veggie pasta, relived my beautiful new year's eve :) Smiled, ate and felt warm inside.
d. SHOP: Trekked all the way to the Indian store and went crazy. I don't think the sight of methi and bhindi have made me so happy before. An atrocious bill later, I feel like I am back home.
e. WRITE: And so here I am, at the end of my day. Happy and relieved to have survived it without the tap in my eyes opening. It feels like a good laid back Sunday.
Bring it on J-Term, I be ready.
