12.

Time seems to fly quite fast these days.
Ignore the corny line, let's blog \(^.^)/.

One of the things that came to my mind last night while I was trying my best to sleep was it had been quite a loooooooooooooooooong time since my family headed off for a vacation. No and I don't mean the typical "three days, two nights" vacation, but the kind which was long, and the kind which you were trapped in some foreign land. That kind of vacation, in fact, that is how I define what a vacation is. The last time the whole family had a proper "family vacation" was in 2010 when we went for some sort of Eurotrip to Paris and basically, covered half of United Kingdom.

A few weeks ago, my mom asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I told her I wanted to go to London again. A few days later, I got something else; something that I had been asking for almost 3 years.

But do you know that feeling?
That tiny bit of disappointment?
I felt that.

I'm starting to sound like some ungrateful child but I can't help but feel this feeling. I know my parents have worked hard to provide everything they have provided for me, but still, yet again. I can't help but feel this feeling. It's nothing personal, it's just that after one year of being stuck with papers, books, pencils, and exam papers; not to forget the amount of crap I had to deal with - all I wanted was a long vacation.

I know I'm not going to get it due to the fact that just one semester of my college fees sums up as equal as three two-way tickets to London. Not to forget the fact that I'm starting college in 12 days. Oh and besides the fact that college semester breaks aren't going to be that long anyway. Can't help but have to swallow that gulping fact. Bleeeeeeeeergh, as cliche as it sounds, I am truly, in need, of a break from my own country.

But that's life, you can't always get what you want.
