The Moment of Dream Come True

When I first went to the school here, we were taught that there are three stages of culture shock. It’s like a bell curve, starting from the honey moon, following by the tough time and then going back to the regular life. You’re gonna get used to the environment around you, no more thrills, excitements, and discomfort. I think I’ve entering the final stage. In the past few months, I was more like a tourist trying to catch everything. I always had a camera with me all the time. I was desperate to grasp every minute in my time of the US.

 

This week, no school assignments, no work, it’s a totally stress-free week for me, but I am kind of out of place. I think I am a person who is used to getting very busy, no matter meeting friends, going to classes, studying, or working. Staying at home all day has almost been driving my crazy. Right now I am studying in a coffee shop nearby my house.  I am so lonely.  I miss my friends and family in Taiwan so much.  I can’t wait to go home! I knew my parents need me.  I wish I could do more help for our new house decoration thing, but I just can’t.

 

But this is the life I choose. I have to be TOUGH and brave. I am gonna start to work tomorrow for the very first day. Honestly, I am getting nervous right now.  Working in a whole new country with an unfamiliar language - it’s all new for me! I don’t know if I can survive well. I don’t know if my English is capable to handle everything coming to me. The answer is coming very soon – tomorrow!

 

Hope I will be less nervous after tomorrow. Hope everything would just be fine!
