So How Does It Feel?

Many a person has asked me this particular question:

'So how does it feel now that you're about to leave home to study overseas. Maybe you won't be seeing your family for a long time.'
Personally, I am not really feeling much different at the moment. Maybe it hasn't really sunk into me yet XD. I've heard lots of sob stories from friends saying they initially had a bad case of homesickness, even crying over the phone when calling their parents. Well, I wouldn't like that to happen to me, but I can't guarantee it won't happen either :D. Anyway, I'm pretty close to my family. So, I would expect to be struck down by a case of homesickness. But right now, I'm leaning a little towards being excited by the prospect of going abroad and having the freedom to manage my own life.

For now, I'm bought almost everything that I think I will need over in UK and have begun packing my luggages. But, my mom is actually even more anxious than me XD. Ah well, I guess all moms are like that, getting even more anxious than their sons or daughters even when it doesn't directly affect them. Kudos to my mom though, for every now and then, she will go and remind me and buy things that I could not even think of without her. The list just keeps on growing and growing.... wonder how heavy my luggage will be in the end XD

My mom is always worried that I can't survive overseas, my father kept forcing me to do things by myself now and my siblings are pretty indifferent, for now. My mom's worries are not baseless though, since I never do much housework anyway. But anyway, when things have to be done, I will do it. I can't depend on my parents all the time right? Like my friend used to say:
'We all have two modes. Whenever the parents are not around, we can do things by overselves. But when our parents are around, we automatically switch modes, becoming lazy.'
Hah, I think this is a pretty amusing yet true statement. On the subject of my siblings, they said they won't miss me much :(. My little sister told me once:
'What's there to miss? Everyday you hole up in your room and we hardly see you.'
....It kinda stings... I hope she is just joking about it.
