The warm friendship after raining day

Today is school opens, I should be there on time but I didn't due to the wrong information, everything should be done well due to the wrong information caused the bad mood, so I didn't perform well in my placement test. I felt I lose my confidence of my English ability while I took the test. I think I still have to learn how to handle my mood even though I was impacted by some bad things. Anyway, all the things were happened, it's impossible for people to change the things that has happened already, right?

Even though this was not a good beginning of my language school, but there are still lots of good things happened so far. After I completed all the things that I have to do for language school today, one couple took me to the bank to open a bank account, some students took me to the Buffalo Gold Card, the two important things were completed within today, it was a good news to me.

After completed the above of things, I went to the supermarket alone to do the grocery shopping, after I finished my shopping, I met a Thailand girl who is named Nicki and also a new student in language school. I bought lots of things today, but it was OK for me to take all the thing to home by myself, because it just takes 20 minutes from my house to supermarket by walk. The original plan was to go home and carry the things by myself, but the weather became bad and there was a big rain outside, so it was impossible for me to carry all the thing to home by walk. The girl Nicki saw me and came to send the greetings to me, when she found that I bought lots of things, she said let me take you home because she had a car. In the beginning, I was thinking should I take her car to home, so I said to her " I afraid that I would make trouble to you", but she said "it's OK". So I went home by her car, even though we got lost for few minutes, but the girl still had patient on me. Finally, we got the correct way to my house. I was happy and she was also happy. What a kind person she are, she is so friendly, I felt very warm at the moment, because she helped me a lot and didn't complain about anything I made. Thanks god to bring me a wonderful friend to my life. If I were the girl Nicki, will I still have patient when I meet a girl like me? I have no ideas while the things was happened on me today, but I think I will help the girl who has the similar situation like me if I have ability to help the girl. Because Nicki said, when she arrived Texas, she also met some problems and needed some one's help at the moment, and she was also lucky because somebody helped her to solve the problems at the moment, that's why she decided to help me today, even though I made some troubles.

I knew I was lucky because my day ended with a warm friendship. A good thing must come after a bad thing, but a bad thing might not come after a good thing, I think God is very kind to me. Thanks God. I also appreciated the help from Nicki. God bless her and us.

Everything is strange but fresh.

I have been here for 2 days and have met some Taiwan people here. Every people is kind to me. Yesterday, there was a Taiwan girl named Emily who prepared dinner and a bottle of milk tea to me. Sounds very nice, right? I think so,too. I feel warm at the moment.

Have you ever decided to go to another country by yourself? Did you feel nervous before you go? Actually, I got lots of pressure before I went to Texas It was a whole new place for me and I also didn't initially have any friends here. Everything is strange. After I met some Taiwan people, I felt my pressure disappeare. When I arrived Texas, I also met other new Taiwanese people, they were all kind to me. What a lucky girl I am, right?

After I have been here 2 days, I don't feel as nervous as before. I am still not sure that I will love it here, even though there are some people that say it is a good place to live and study. Anyway, I have to persuade myself to like here as soon as possible, because I have to live here around for at least 1.5 years. Actually, there are lots of fresh things for me to explore, therefore I think my life here will gradually become better.

Well, tomorrow is my first day at school, I hope there will be lots of good things for me. God bless you and me.

我在德州，天氣晴。

經過了漫長的飛行以及轉機，再加上了搭機轉機的疲累，我就這樣在疲累當中渡過了我在德州的第一個晚上。

早上醒來，天氣是晴朗的，至於心情呢？ 坦白講，我到現在還是沒有辦法正確的表達出我現在的心情氣象。雖然，到國外念書一直是我的夢想，但是沒想過這一切是準備的這麼樣的急，還來不及思考這邊的生活要如何過的時候，我就已經身處Canyon這個德州小城市了。

這裡的環境很清幽，真的就像是個鄉下小地方，其實的，我現在還沒有辦法完整的描述，因為這就是從我房間窗外看出去的第一個感覺。至於其他地方呢？等我在把這邊更熟悉之後，我就會趕快跟大家分享了。

今天，就先這樣囉！ 改天繼續記錄我在美國的生活。

Final Countdown

距離出國的時間只剩下一個星期了，雖然一些重要的事情都已經在這個星期之內陸續完成了，但是一些零碎的小事情還是得要在出國前全部完成，不然到美國之後可是會造成多餘的花費還有小小的不便利咧！

從計劃念書開始到學校申請到出國，這段約莫兩個月的時間真的是讓我緊張不已也疲累不堪，不正常的生活作息確實也對身體造成了不小的不良影響，現在終於能夠喘口氣了，也該是把作息調回正常的時候了，畢竟還是要保有健康的身體才有辦法繼續在美國為念書做打拼囉！

面對即將離台的這個時刻，其實內心是很複雜的，一方面開心於有機會完成自己的夢想，一方面卻又有捨不得放下的人、事、物。人好像永遠難以滿足所有的事情，有了一就想要有二，有二就要有三，造就了無窮的慾望。當然，我也知道不可能所有的事情都兼顧，只能有條件的做些選擇。所以，我一直不斷的再做調適。

到了美國之後，面對的是一個截然不同的生活環境，屆時的我能否適應的良好，這是一個大考驗，我只希望自己能盡力且勇敢的面對。

加油~

收到入學通知之後的不安

經過了一段時間的煎熬等待，終於我在5/8的下午接獲顧問打來的恭賀電話，他告訴我，學校已經接受我的條件式入學申請，而我也在當天就把學費匯給學校了，USD7,352-這是10週的語言課程、住宿、部分的餐點費用、接機...等。

我算是幸運的了，不到三個星期的時間我就已經收到學校的入學通知，但是由於我提出的時間真的是很晚，所以相較於一般人能夠有充裕的時間準備出國，而我只剩下短短不到三個星期的時間。到現在我也還沒有辦理美簽，主要是因為I-20還沒拿到，沒拿到I-20就不能辦F-1簽證了。總之，興奮的心情只是一下下而已，接踵而來的一堆要處理的事情才是叫人心煩。

這幾天幾乎都是熬夜在查詢一些學校的相關資訊，所幸還找到一個台灣同學會，裡面的成員感覺都挺熱心的，因此在知道有台灣人之後，我才稍稍的安心。

不過另外一個惱人的問題就是新流感H1N1，因為本人要前往的區域就是德洲，那邊算是疫情較為嚴重的地方，而且德州底下銜接的就是墨西哥，雖然學校位於德州的西北方，但是多少還是會有些擔憂，只是擔憂也沒有，總之就是自己多小心囉。

至於我入取的學校是哪一間呢？嘿嘿...我要揭曉了，答案是...西德州農工大學，這是德州農工大學系統九大學校之一，位於Canyon這個城市。至於對於這個學校的訊息呢？我想我知道的也是有限，大家上Google搜尋一下的話，得到的訊息應該都是和我一樣的，呵呵...

接下來，應該會面臨很多的問題和挑戰吧！不管怎樣，加油就是了。到那邊之後，我會盡快熟悉環境的，如果有人要來德洲玩的話，記得來找我嘿~
