One day before departing.

The sky remains the same as ever. I walked through the same street I used to walk. Two years have passed since I arrived. Although it is cloudy in the morning, the Sun remains the same. It is quiet like the first time I arrived. I walked to Columbia Lake, the place I passed almost every day. I heard birds singing, sew geese flying and felt the breeze. I am leaving this city tomorrow. It cannot be helped that I would feel like losing something. Moving from small city to a bigger one might change my life.

I remember the first time I visit Waterloo is in May 2010 after STOC2008 for a short visit. At that time I lived in St.Paul where I can see the main campus through a window. It was exciting living in a strange place. Two months later I came here again for my Master study. I arrived two months early to take English course. It was very fun taking courses with people from various background and having some friends. The first term of my Master study started right after the English course ended. Although studying here is hard, it was fun struggling in all the courses. The most funniest time is when the courses requirement is completed. I spent most of my time doing research with my supervisor. Working day by day, night by night, minute by minute, it was so much fun.
