Tonight is going to be my last night in room 532 of IHouse - Edmonton. I will fly tomorrow night to Boston and leave my room with all of its memories... By the way, do you know how hard is it to pack all of the stuff that you gathered in 3.5 years? It is amazing how easily people buy things, as if they are not going to move somewhere else... But each jump comes with its prices. I am optimistic. I am going to fly and feel the air...
This is simply one of the best songs I have heard in a long time. I give it 9.3 out of 10. The name of the song is "lift" and it lifts you easily as you let yourself go. I love this song...
Times when I just can't Bring myself to say it loud 'Fraid that what I'll say comes out somehow awry
That is when it seems We move in circles day to day Twist the drama of the play to get us by
And it feels like fear Like I'll disappear Gets so hard to steer Yet I go on Do we need debate When it seems too late Like I bleed but wait Like nothing's wrong
You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly, Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly, Where all new wonders will appear
Like the other day I thought you won't be coming back I came to realize my lackluster dreams
And among the schemes And all the tricks we try to play Only dreams will hold their sway and defy
When it feels like fear... Like I'll disappear Gets so hard to steer Yet I go on Do we need debate When it seems too late Like I bleed but wait Like nothing's wrong
You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly, Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly, Where all new wonders will appear, oooohhhh
You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly, Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly, Where all new wonders will appear
Yesterday, I was called by the US Embassy of Calgary. My visa is ready... This was what I hoped for right? Maybe... I can not yet put my mind at ease... I am going to leave Edmonton in about two weeks after 3 years and 5 months. I am going to leave this city with all of my memories: laughter with my friends under its sunshine, fighting the harsh wind chills in its winters, drinking coffee and hot chocolate with my colleagues in its buildings, and many more. I am going to miss Edmonton, its calmness, its sunshine and my memories in every single corner of it.
This was one of the most confusing moments of my life. Part of me wanted to move on and expected an acceptance, while the other part of me was sad and thoughtful about why not finishing my PhD here? Why not staying in Canada and continue working with my nice supervisors? and many more unanswered questions... This solo melody was shattered as the guy smiled and said: "I am sure you already know about our clearance process. we will contact you soon!"
