Moved out of Calhoun College yesterday and bade goodbye to the gorgeous campus of Yale.

I have had an amazing experience studying at Yale. There were multiple factors that shaped the experience I think. Although lessons were pretty intense, thrice a week and five hours a day. Each time I walk back to my college, or into WLH hall or just looking at the Sterling library behind me, I feel absolutely blessed to be able to be there and experience the life of a student there. All my life I've been hearing about Ivys and harvard yale princeton what not, and it's incredible being able to have been able to experience all that.

Also, although summer school is meant to be something lucrative, I thought the lessons I had was pretty good since they were all taught by actual Yale professors and yale students took those lessons as well. Its also perhaps the first time I felt genuinely passionate about the modules I was taking - developmental psychology, whereby I cannot help but fall in love with those super cute infant videos, and economics of health and public policy which married my interests in both policy making and healthcare. Lessons were small, focused, everyone brought out interesting ideas and debates, and everything was intense, intellectual yet inspiring. I'm really excited about being able to choose my masters and be able to study in the States again.

Not to mention, I've made so many international friends whom I could really click well with. It's definitely hard to find someone who you can talk to (and not from the same culture), but my suitemate and coursemate were simply great company. The best part of summer school had to be mealtimes(: going for breakfast, lunch and dinner at morse college (walked 180 times from calhoun to morse just for food :/) really bonded everyone of us. Our conversations, be it intellectual or just superficial, were very memorable. It's really sad that I won't be able to meet some of them anymore, but having gone through so many endings and partings, I've learnt to distant myself from the sorrows of separation, and learnt to just treasure that it took place before and live each moment to its fullest.

It's been a wonderful five weeks here at Yale, and at the moment I just feel very very blessed to be here.

On a positive note, I'm finally coming home! (:
