My room mate left. I think being an MBA student really can define you. The way you live, the way you manage your time, the way you manage your finances. It can really hone you. And when you're away , it teaches you how to make friends. My room mate did make a few friends, over a period of one year, she didn't find anyone who'd come to see her at the airport. But I obliged. Firstly, I hardly know the woman. I've been here for the past one week. It's human kindness and warmth that I felt for her. It's important when you feel like that in an alien country where you know no one. It's important to build a camaraderie because you always remember who was kind and you respect that person more.
On that note, I helped my friend put up stuff in the cupboard so she can take it back when she next arrives. I accompanied her to the airport and saw her through all the mess with luggage. That was a crazy morning I had and then headed all the way back to the hostel. I think kindness is all we have left. It takes care of us and keeps us warm.
