USA Entry #4: Done with Fall Quarter'15!

hurhur

YAY, I'm done with fall quarter! (Basically I'm done with my very first term only lol).

I just had my last finals for the term and okay la, to be honest, it was super easy... For the first time, I took 20minutes to finish a multiple choice paper. I usually like to utilise my time fully during exams. I'll double check, triple check, estimate how many questions I'll get right and blah blah blah. I did all of that in the span of 20minutes and there were 50 questions. It was one of the most laid back papers I've ever sat for. Plus, the thing about community colleges or the American exam system is that, they allow you to bring a note card in. It's basically a cheat sheet. You can write ANYTHING on it. The first time when I was told I could bring in a cheat sheet, I went totally jakun about it and kept asking my professor, "Wait, we can write anything?! ANYTHING?!?!?" I seriously couldn't believe it but my friends here told me that it was normal. (No wonder Asians are smarter :b hahaha) Back in Malaysia, you'll have NO SUCH THING. Though, I don't wanna get used to the bringing a note card in thing, it really spoils you. You tend to study less and try to squeeze everything into your note card instead. Don't learn from the Americans guys :b

I've only been here for about 3 months-ish(?) and so much has already happened.. I've grown really close to people too and learnt a lot of things. I guess that's one of the good stuff about being overseas alone, you really try to put yourself out there to discover new things if not you'll be rotting at home alone and cry about how lonely you are.. HAHA. It's been a very eye-opening experience so far and hopefully I'll learn much more with the long-ass time I have here.

No doubt that I still miss home though... Nothing can compare to home la :( I miss the 3F's: Family, Friends & Food. Yeah people say we come here to live the "American Dream" but I love Malaysia. It's a great country to be honest, just run by shitty people It may not be up to par with America but I think that's what I like about it. We're still a bit kampung and I love that we have our own culture. America's technology is so advanced and online shopping is the most convenient thing in the world here, it's unbelievable. They may have all of that, but they don't have good hawker stalls, convenient shopping malls, fully-supplied stationery shops etc. (POPULAR FTW!)

I'm not dissing America, don't get me wrong, I've done a lot of things that I couldn't have done in Malaysia (not weed, obviously) but seriously, like fun stuff especially travelling hehe. My winter break is about to begin and I'll be flying to Boston to see my bestie! I'll try to post up more of my adventures soon (if people are interested in reading it) But it's okay if you guys aren't interested because I'm sure my mum will read this any way. She's my number one fan! YAY!! Thanks mum, love you! HAHAH

Thank you for dropping by and it means a lot! Have a great holiday everybody! Oh! Christmas is coming and I can't wait for the joyful season :3
