a BREAK

We still didn't really start the semester and I already feel like taking a break! What I like about it is the fact that I chose to take my lectures at night. It suits me more since Im not a morning person and with this I'll be able to concentrate more on all what's given in the lecture and to have more time to study in the morning. During the past two or so weeks I came to realize that cooking is not my favorite part and that ironing is more fun than it sounds. And that you can't wash colored clothes with white.

Studying here is nothing like back home.. students have to do all the work and more.. there are some courses with no exams at all, but instead they ask you to work on a 3,500 words' project.. and it's then when you think, Oh I miss the normal exams' days.
Whenever it gets harder I keep thinking that in two years time I'll look at myself and say WOW this is the best thing I have done.

What's surprising is when we're out somewhere, and we decide it's time to go back home.. the minute we unlock the door, It feels nice.. home sweet home! So I already have this feeling of belonging to this place.. this is nice!

What I like the most about living here is that time flies, there are times when I miss it back home (not the place as much as the people- family and friends) - and it's shocking how the circle of people you'd miss becomes smaller with time and all the things one have to do ! I like the fact that there are so many things to do every single day and so many assignments to complete and books to read that this hardly leave me anytime to think about anything else, to be the drama queen, or to reflect my annoying emotional side.

Time difference can be a real pain in the ass sometimes, but then again I think it's not that bad, as if there was no time difference I'd be confused trying to live two different lives instead of concentrating on the one Im actually living.
It's when you stop the counting, and live the present (not just living it but enjoying it) is when you can get your mind focused on the things you are doing, and this is the only way to get your future plans closer and more real.
