What felt like seconds, in reality is actually 3 weeks. Almost getting through my first month as a college student in a foreign land. So far, it is going well.
In my previous post, I did mention that I was terrified about starting school all alone, friendless. To be frank, I really was. My first two nights in the hostel were mostly spent inside my room, whatsapping family and friends back home, feeling homesick and alone.
As induction came along, manged to make a few friends who later became my good friends here in college.
I guess my only advice to those going to a foreign land for studying or are just in a completely new environment, is to not to be shy to say "Hi." That's how I met most of my friends here.
I guess it just takes your guts to muster out a single "Hello" to really increase your chances of meeting really interesting and nice people. That is what I learned so far here at CATS.
Turning 18 in England (also my first birthday away from home) was really nice. There wasn't a big celebration but my new friends here made me so happy with their wishes and gifts (though they didn't have to get me anything). Of course, the peeps back home outdid themselves this year with all the explicit and sweet wishes. Truly truly blessed.
Well I will try to keep this blog alive because doing 5 terms A levels is kind of a challenge as I have to finish my AS syllabus in two terms instead of three! Well, I guess I can cope as I'm taking Maths, Physics and Sociology. A balance on both calculations and writing.
Ah well, that's all for now.
Cheerios! (Haha, so English lol)
