Stress! Stress! Stress!
During the first week studying in UCO, I really felt that is kinda relaxing studying here. People is nice, lecturers are friendly, officers are always with a smiling face and guess what, I love the environment here especially the university's facilities. For instances, there are computer lab which has free internet-access, printing for free so that you do not have to buy your own printer (lucily I did'n bring my printer), gym & wellness center, dancing studio and swimming pool. I would say they have basically everything that I need. In a nut shell, I am HAPPY! hahaha... United States seem to be very careful of disease transferring from other countries. Each and every international student is required to get an injection on the first day they arrive at UCO. Thanks to the government's awareness, I have got 2 shots on my left hand at the same day. The worst part is I still have 5 more shots to go in October and next year. >.<""""
Well, since everything is so fantastically nice here, why am I so stressful???
I would say my life is getting more and more busy then the first and second week I got here. I have 2 tests coming up next week. There are 5 chapters for Sensation & Percepetion and 3 chapters for American History to study. Yet, I havent get my lap report and lab notebook done which the due is on friday. Apart from that, I just got elected as a Vice President for Malaysian Students Association (MSA) just now. I won't say a lot of stuffs to do but still a few activities are coming up next month. Then, I feel that the mobile phone usage system is sucks here in US. They have some sort of very complicated way of purchasing the plans and weird phone billing system. I don't understand why do we need to pay for the text messages that we receive from our friends. That's stupid! Well, I bought the plan which has 600 minutes to talk on the phone for a month without free in-coming calls. Therefore, I will get charge if someone call my phone. It has been troubling me all the way just because of the phone thing. When I finished my minutes less than a month, i went ti refill my minutes for 10 bucks. Who knows, it finished up less than a day. Damned it! So, I can only receive phone calls at night because they don't charge you at night. Gosh~~ Why is everything so troublesome???
Furthermore, I have another problem which is related to the bank that I am using now. Currently, I am using the Citizens Bank of Edmond here because the location of the bank is just right at the center of the university. I am thinking of changing another bank because others provide higher interests. I wont say I have lots of money but still I wish I could get more interests if I am in the position to decide where should I save my money. Ahhhh~~~ I just remember one thing. I haven't get a pin number yet for my debit card. It was such a embarrassing moment when I wanna try to use my debit card to make payment at the market. Then, only I realized I actually need to have a pin in order to make payment. So end up I paid by cash. I can't stand myself somehow.
Actually I dont know what happened to our internet wireless system here. You will never know when it's gonna work. It will be very fast if is working. But it will make you very frustrating if is not working like now. That's why I am blogging now in the computer lab. I would like to upload my birthday photos on facebook because I love those pictures. I have never thought of having such a birthday party in US when I was Malaysia. I have been worrying how am I gonna celebrating it since I am all along to study abroad in a strange place. Some more, I got an iPod for birthday present. Wahahaha.. (laughter is abit too evil) Actually I celebrated my birthday for 3 days on friday, saturday and sunday. (I was hecking surprised!) Me and my friends went to a Taiwan cafe for bubble teas after my work at night. Everyone was playing cards and I taught them the my co-called UNO style game. After that, we went Benjamin's house again for dinner which we cooked by ourselves. We had curry chicken and chinese ABC soup and also a kinda failed salty egg cooked by a guy from China. On Sunday, I was too tired to get my ass off from my bed. But everyone seemed to insist me to go out for dinner at Chewy's place. Well, since the cafeteria was closed I have no choice but to follow them. When I reached her place, someone asked me to grab a cake inside the fridge. That was how I got my birthday cake and iPod. Luckily I am good keeping my emotions and strong enough to control my tears of joy.
There is a chinese saying, people needs parents at home, but they need friends when they are out of the house. I am grateful that I have my friends here in UCO. I really cherish the friendship that I am having with my friends. We do almost everything together just like a family. Well, we already have family name for each of us.
I'm tired but I'm joyful!
