Assalam people. I'm finally updating my blog! It's been ages.
So where shall we start? Let us see, my last update was last year, so I believe a lot - like a LOT a lot - has happened for the past, what? Six months?
Honestly, it felt weird not going to school. I was practically bored to death. Well, despite all the time I had, to which I spent watching movies and reruns of tv shows, I basically had nothing much to do. But I did read a lot. And I mean a huge number of novels; from paperbacks, to hard-covers, to e-books. I literally lost track of how many exactly. Since I feel guilty for buying too many novels, I mostly search for free e-books online. So yeah, I guess it's pretty much awesome and better. 'Cause duh!, it's free. But it's always much more satisfying to buy the novel; you get to experience the new book smell. Yum!
Okay, that's just weird.
Anyways, moving on...
I have good news!! Guess what it is.
AMERICA BABYYYYY!!!
So I'll be furthering my studies in the US. I'm starting in August and damn am I terrified. Come on, I'm seventeen. And soooooo not ready for this. Back then, I might be super thrilled, knowing that I actually got a sponsorship to further abroad. But now when I ACTUALLY know that I'm going there; not so much.
Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely grateful and excited, really. But the thought of it scares me a bit. Especially since I'll be going with a small group. And also since my friend and I might be the only ones from here who will be enrolling as freshmen. Why, you ask? Well, usually Malaysian students take the ADP (stands for American Degree Program) before going to the US. So basically, when they start their studies in the US, they are actually starting their second year as the ADP is equivalent to the first year of the degree. So TADAAA!!
"Wow lucky you then!"
"Oh so extra one year la you study sana!"
"Wah bestnya!! 4 years there!"
Let me tell you one thing, people. You'll focus more on the fact it's terrifying than the fact that it's exciting if you're not mentally ready.
But yeah, I gotta admit;
IT'S STILL FREAKING AWESOME!
So these past few months were hectic. Preparing all the immigration documents, sponsorship agreement letters, medical checkup, visa appointment, preparation before orientation, placement test. And it's already JULY!! I can't believe it. Time really do fly fast. No kidding.
So yeah, basically that's how I'm currently doing. Nothing much except THAT. I guess that's it for now. Till we meet again! (Which I'm not exactly sure when HAH)
Cheers,
aiha.
