(no subject)
I haven't exactly had the time to really blog about being in the US. so here's an attempt to summarize what it's been like.
crazy, for one.
its a whole new culture, okay maybe not totally new I mean we are obviously quite influenced by pop culture in Singapore, but it's now IN YO FACE and it's everywhere. I think it's just been a little overwhelming for me, being immersed in it 24/7. I like to take refuge in my Singaporean and asian buddies here, let loose with the singlish and chinese for a bit. Even the occasional "wahlaus" and "lahs" are so comforting to hear.
Cornell is a beautiful campus though, amazing. Better than anything I could have ever pictured or imagined, From the brick buildings to the ivy creeping on the walls, to the green green grass and the massive trees, and the clock tower, to the suspension bridges over waterfalls and gorges. I cannot believe people say that Cornell is boring, I'm discovering something knew and something I love about it every single day.
I can't wait til classes start on Thursday, Yours truly is taking Italian and Intro to Architecture along with my core courses in hotel management. So exciting. I think I only started to appreciate the US system now, the fact that they give you the liberty to really take anything you want, learn anything you want and tailor your own schedule and your own future.
Can't wait :)
