Pun & Né

Finally.....

Finally, I already submitted my applications !!! I was quite relieve after I 'd been on pins and needles for almost 5 months. I was nervous and worried about my GRE test, statement of purpose writing and a lot of things. It was a difficult decision for me to decide which universities I'll send my applications. But finally I did it, I submitted my applications to four universities: University of St. Thomas, University of Sounthern California, Emerson College and Florida State University. They are in Houston, Los Angeles, Boston, and Florida respectively. And now I'm waiting for a letter from these universities. I hope that I can get in at least one. If you ask me which university I really want to go, I have to say that I don't really know. Each one has bad and good things, so it's difficult for me to choose.

Last week I was really depressed, I don't know why. I cried a lot. But after I talked to my mom about studying and had been crying for almost 2 hours I was relieve and felt a lot better. The next day, I knew that I couldn't take the GRE in Thailand because all seats were reserved for the old version of TOEFL. To my surprise, I didn't feel sad about that and I didn't know why. Maybe it's because I realized that I did my best and it's all I could do. I don't know what will happen next but whether it's good or bad I'll accept it. So, what I'm doing now is just waiting for the result (it'll take about 6-8 weeks). We'll see.

My first shopping day in Bangkok

I've been here for 4 days already, so I quite get used to a new time. Today I went shopping with my mom at the new shopping mall, its size is as big as the Galleria. Can you believe it? I bought nothing; I felt like I didn't want to buy anything at all, which is (in my case) weird. I don't know why but maybe it's because I bought a lot when I was in Houston. I met a lot of tourists there. I think this shopping mall can attract tons and tons of tourists from Southeast Asian countries and make a lot of money to Thailand. We have an area in Bangkok that there is 7 shopping malls and department stores along both sides of the major street. You can go there and spend a whole day shopping. It's a paradise for shopaholics like me!!! :)

1st night in Thailand

Now it's 2.33 am. in Thailand. I just arrived at midnight and it took about 1 hour from an airport to my house. I am not sleepy that's why I'm writing on my blog (I think that I might not sleep tonight) . I left Houston on Sunday and arrived here on Monday at midnight. It was an exhausting, boring and lengthy flight almost 24 hours. I watched 3 movies and listened to almost 100 songs on a plane and read a book "The curious incident of the dog in the night time" that I bought on Friday. All these things made my flight a little bit better. Although the book is interesting, the movies are fun, the songs are great but sitting in a plane for a long time made me can't enjoy and concentrate on anything.

It's 2.45 am. everybody is sleeping except me!!!

I can't sleep and might not sleep but tomorrow I'll go out and had Thai lunch with my mom!!! Yummy!!!

I hate saying Goodbye

Yesterday was my last day at ELS, I cried a lot. Although, I know that I'll come back on April 30, I can't help myself crying 'cause I have to say goodbye to a lot of people I love: my friends (Allyne, Rafael, Alice, Tais, Sofia, Supit, Ploy, Wanessa, Mafer, Fabiana, Vicente and Theressa) and my lovely teacher (Nathan). I've been here for 6 months, I get used to living here and going to school everyday. I love to go to school. I know that it sounds weird 'cause most of people don't like going to school. But for me, I'll meet my friends there and I learn a lot of new things everyday. I really enjoy studying English although there're a lot of works and homeworks but I prefer to have a lot of works rather than have nothing to do. I enjoy going to school and studying English, so when I have to go back to Thailand even if it is a short period of time I still feel sad. I know that it will be more difficult for me when I have to leave Houston. I really hate saying Goodbye!!!

After graduation ceremony, Supit, Sofia, Tais and I went to the Galleria. We had a Mexican lunch at Ninfa. It was very good. Then we went to Barns & Noble 'cause I want to buy books for me to read on an airplane. I bought "English as a Second Language" and "The curious incident of the dog in the night-time". I bought the 1st book because of the title; I want to know about the story inside. I really want to read them now but I told myself that I will keep them for my trip.

It is a long long flight about 24 hours from Houston to Bangkok. It is very exhausting and boring. It takes about 14 hours from here to Tokyo and 3 hours at the airport and another 7 hours to Bangkok. Sitting on an airplane is very uncomfortable for me, I can't sleep at all and it takes me about 1 week to get used to new time. Actaully, this is one of reasons why I don't want to go back but I have a lot of things to do in Thailand. I have to take the GRE and GMAT, sending my application to graduate schools. I also have a plan to go to Japan with my sister or go to Korea with Apple to visit Rena. And then I will come back here!!!
