I just don't feel it.

Well, life here is good is alright, except for one minor problem, which is you have to walk everywhere. Unlike back in hometown where I just wave gracefully at my driver and there I am. Anywhere I like. Makes me miss home a little bit.
Other than that, everything's pretty much the same here. Though school hasn't officially started yet, but I've kinda built my own routines now. Waking up at 9, 9.30 every day, having breakfast, jumping in the shower and deciding what I'm going to do. Living here and living in hometown don't differ that much actually. If anything, I feel as if the transition's quite blurry, and it's just this thin wall in between. Only what's different is that people seem very strange in here.
If you think about it, it's supposed to be more intimate here, considering the people you'll have to come in contact with, while you're walking on the streets or riding on the bus. Whereas in hometown, we're like shielded in those metals and glasses known as cars. But I don't know why, it feels really strange looking at these people in here. Various people at every corner, various business with each right turn, various expressions with each left turn, and various colours with every glimpse.
And maybe this is just a tiny peek at the differences out there. Maybe it feels strange but here I am now. Maybe people speak in a language I dont speak but I'll manage someday. And maybe there I was last night, standing in the bus number 12, worn out and reeling, trying so hard recollecting my conscience and realizing it for the first time, that I am now a part of it.
Apparently, it doesnt feel like the end of an era or the start of any other eras. There's no milestone or a border line, and suddenly I'm here. Yes, it took me that long to realize.
There's supposed to be a checkpoint that beeped along with a shimmering light when I passed thru it, no?
