Heartwarming.

The past week filled M with high hopes, high feelings, and emotional values. From out of nowhere, that one person stole his heart away, and in an instant, she left and went back to her university in Japan. She was an exchange student, a very interesting one.

Nonetheless, she made it seem like everything M did before was a dream, and was quite sad when she departed. Crazy things people do when they're in love; wake up at 4AM to see the exchange students off at the campus then going to the beach later that day is one of them , and the day before, going to Sea World & Gold Coast when 3 reports and a project were due in a few days, is another crazy idea. A week zoomed by just like that; countless of memories made with a meeting so short, so sudden but full of heartfelt emotions.

Before she left, M gave her a going away present. Not much, but hopefully she'll remember him in the future...wish she had stayed longer, M thought. He kept getting her name wrong though, but that always brought a nice smile from her.

And to the rest, they were a great bunch. The students came at the right time, where M was going to breakdown, and with that they empowered his confidence.
