Good Food, Good Mood...

So, let me continue yesterday's story... where, I left for the 2nd day of training... breakfast, was good, some biscuits, and fruits and and juice... awesome...

for lunch, it's sandwiches at Potbelly's... and strawberry milkshake.... oooh... mouth-watering meal... I was having great time having good food, and chatting with Viktorina, Tina, Salim and Sang Woo... I just felt that 5 of us can really click... must be one of those international students link... we talked and laughed and it's just so good... and then, we went back for the training again, talking and discussing about expected problems, getting to know the courses and some requirements for certain schools well... it's just great to know all these and be able to help answering queries and all...

so, after the training, I do feel confident and well-trained... and do feel the camaraderie thingy going on among us... the team spirit is burning...we went to this nice little cafe called 'Eastern Accents'... where they serve really good tea and snacks... ooh... the Lichee tea i had was really not bad at all... it has this hint of Lichee aftertaste thats unique... and I'm quite a tea fan...so, it's really a place to go...

so, after that, I went back to my apartment, and freshed up a bit, and then, went out to meet 12 juniors... Twelve... a dozen... and brought them to get some necessities...NECESSITIES... from Meijer... (abt half an hour bus ride away)

there, i told them to meet like 2 hours after, at 6.45pm, but some of them was late, and missed the bus and all, and then, they bought quite some stuffs, and I had to carry some stuffs too(as expected...) but, because of some of them being late, we missed the last Blue Bus on campus too,(i totally forgot about the last bus was at 7.30pm, my bad), so, 4 of us had to walk... carrying all those stuffs...

got back to my apartment at about 8.45pm... went to get dinner from Blimpie at 9pm... got the fried mushroom...(really good food --> good mood) and the usual triple with American Cheese... awesome dinner...

was really tired yesterday... all the working and the walking and the babysitting... :P... yeah... now i know how hard it is to be a mother... thanks mom... i love you... went to bed really early... at about 11.30pm...

got up this morning at 6.40am... damn, i'm just good at waking up 15-20 minutes before my alarm clock....(i wonder do i still need one...)

so, brushed up and all... do the usual morning routine...(utopia, email, news) then, walked around my apartment and then got out to meet the other peer advisors at 9am... we are meeting an hour earlier before we meet with all the advisors... just to prepare a little bit... i talked about study habits... and tell the advisors about my experience studying and all... just to let them know so that they can share it with other international students and maybe even the local students...

and there's this really interesting thing about American's individualistic character that's very unique... and unexpected... i'll elaborate about that next time...

so, after that, 4 of us(Tina, Viktorina, Sang Woo and I - Salim has an appointment with someone else) went to Einstein Bros. Bagel for lunch... it's really good... I had a Spinach and Bacon Pallini and Crab Chowder... and the coffee was really awesome... and it makes my day...

came back to my apartment and then will be off facing bunch of anxious parents later on... at 3.30pm... I'm prepared for their incessant stream of questions... Math, Econs, sciences... bring it on...

ciao for now... check back soon
