whew,its been a long time since i last logged in to the Internet.in my room there seems to be a connection problem which sometimes gets on my nerves.its been a very exciting and i really learned a lot.i have never flew on my own outside my country and it opens up my world in a completely new perspective whatsoever.i feel that the people here are friendly and very open minded...now, let me recount the days...
day1..
i stayed at the Inn for a night.was really exhausted after travelling for so long.fortunately, the Inn had a great bed with nice plush cushions so i dozed off instantly after having a bath.in the morning, i had my breakfast with Qiao Wen, she is also a Malaysian staying in Penang...we took sokme nice pictures of the scenery near the Inn...at 10am, 2 guys picked us up to get our keys to our respective halls to put our luggage.after doing that,we went to McMillan hall to get our registration done...there was so many things to do today, like getting a phone number, going to the Health Services department to get our injection,banked in some money...apparently, Shriver Center is the only place to fill our empty stomachs.macaroni, sandwiches, and pizza are the only food they served here.i need to get used to it.we drove downtown to Walmart, this giant shopping complex which sells practically everything..and its cheap...practically that what i did that day..was really tired and slept very early.
the next day, was pretty boring too..i met glenn and ben who are the Peer Assistance in my hall called Clawson Hall.they are both local..it was so boring that i had to find Qiao Wen in Emerson Hall, a couple of blocks away from where i stay.the cinemas here are bad man!i feel that back home GSC or TGV is way more better compared to here. i don't really fancy the Simpsons movie because the jokes are sometimes pretty lame...this guy from Thailand, Sin fell asleep in the movie...after the movie, just headed home and that about it
day3...
i was really hungry and i walked all the way to Shriver Center to get some breakfast...can't wait for the dining hall downstairs to open..over here,there are many people from China who come here to study business school..must be that there heard that this business school is one of the best public ivy league in the states...in the night, we went to the drive in movie to watch Rush Hour 3..really funny movie starring Jackie Chan and the ever-witty Chris Tucker who is really humorous to hear..this guy, drove us back to our dorms and he was talking to us about cars..i really liked his iphone man, its like the newest and coolest gadget to have right now.
finally, today is the orientation for international students..its really amazing to see so many international students in this campus..went to Walmart again because its part of the programme which i signed up..After that, the POL people dropped us off at our dorms and this Korean guy, Dong asked me to keep his stuff in his room.i forgotten that i was going out and there was some stuff which needs to be kept in the fridge...on the way, i met Sean and he gave me a lift to the IT department..but it was closed..darn!...this place is huge and you could get lost if you don't have a map with you...i was practically freaked out and i called Sean again to ask where he was..at last i found him and we went to uptown to eat our lunch...we went to this place which sells buffalo wings..sound weird right?yea,u guess it right, where Jessica Simpson misunderstood that it was the wings of a buffalo..the place was quite cool. i had a shrimp and chicken. next, we went to Jungle Jim's which is an international market but it really didn't impress me much..there was nothing that international about that store...took a few hours of rest and we headed towards Sean gathering.his apartment is pretty cool...the best part is where we get to eat free pizza..nothing to complain about...
the things that impress me most here is that the way the people speak. i feel kinda weird coz they can't understand anything i say. i need to repeat it twice for them to completely understand what i am trying to say.maybe i mumble..besides that, the people here are very outspoken..its very easy to go up to someone and introduce themselves...i think is ridiculous that drinking isn't allowed below the age of 21. its a stupid rule.
so yea, that practically all i have to describe about here..its n ot that happening here but i feel that its alright and i can easily adapt to this environment.there maybe a few exciting stuff that i left behind but i can't seem to remember.
adios guys..
