Like sand in an hourglass

I'm typing this on my friend's laptop (which is actually, quite similar to the laptop I ordered today... more on this in the coming weeks!), while they(my three friends) are organizing their graduation trip to Cambodia, Thailand and Laos.

I remember very vividly when I first met each of these people. I remember my first impressions of each. And I remember gradually learning about them, their quirks, their peculiarities.

In the past 5 minutes, there have been jokes made about his obsessive-compulsive behaviour, her klutziness, her lack of womanly qualities, his lack of manly qualities, possible room sharing scenarios and who knows what else.

In between, they worry about, where to live next year, what insurance to buy, and returning in time to prepare themselves for their first days as doctors.

I see them from time to time during the week as they prepare for their final exam. And I'll likely play something at their graduation ceremony. And then I'll go to their formal for some final partying. And then they'll scatter like sands to the wind. And soon, I'll do the same.
