hey hey wads up....been a quite a long first week for me here in milwaukee...been harder than i thought...first problem is probably the friends problem...i always thought its going to b easy making friends here...but its quite wrong...its all different..the culture..the way they do things...how they talked...but some of them is really friendly...the most fortunate thing tht happened to me is definitely the grp of indonesians here...they r such a nice bunch of ppl...and in 3 dinners i ate with them...i got the label 'New Kid'...hahahaha...its quite amusing...cos since the number of indonesians here r not tht many..they all know each other by face and name..so when they see me...'Oh the new kid?'...hahaha...but its kinda nice u noe...its like i find a piece of home when im wif these ppl...its like even when some of them r already working..they can joke abt crazy stuffs tht really make me laugh...they in a way really helped me to fit in easier...the funny thing is tht when im wif them is like im not in milwaukee at all...its like im at home....its a really nice feeling..cos thts exactly the kind of feeling tht i've been yearning for here...to find a piece of home...and they do help keep my feelings away from the homesickness....cos the crazy thing is tht every morning when i wake up...the feeling of homesickness just greets me the moment i opened my eyes..its like i don even hav to tink....
the work here is complicated mans....darn it its soo different from spore...well yea i noe its secondary school and university difference...but damn...for example...the reading is quite an amount...but some of them is quite interesting...like theology...theo is the greek word for God...while logia/c means reflection and consideration...so theology is the study of God or the Christian Doctrine....yea..chim...its teaches u things like how is God revealed to us and everything....well math is quite ok...the teacher quite funny at times....well theology teacher is the craziest one i got....but math is like more conservative...eng not so bad also...4 students only..-_-ll...but probably joining in more....
lol i just found out tht when i stay in my room the homesickness is at its worst....and on the other hand when i spend my time in the library my homesickness is quite lessened...and the library is reaaally nice...it got all these couch ....and bright...real nice...and peaceful...big too...they r probably the reason y i can relax my mind there...its just silence...in my room its quite small..so my mind kinda really just wander..i dunno how tht sort of works but yea it happens...its just nice la...but the downside of it is tht my social skills r suffering...i mean come on...u don get to make many friends if u spend most of ur time in the library....my parents said tht its only the first week..i cant expect myself to b always surrounded by friends...but for me the first week has been like a year...cos its like soooo long....and tinking of the time when i take off seeing all of my friends and mum and jenny is like sooo long time ago...haiz... talk abt stepping outside the comfort boundary heh.....but i got quite a bunch of support here...its the same thing.... 'the hand is always there for u , but its up to u to reach for it.'....
