1st Month in America

Arrived on September 20th, just in time for orientation. Met a handful of people the first day and was still feeling jet-lagged.

Initially mama and ty bedah travelled to help me settle in comfortably somewhere but sadly my permanent apartment was only available after they left. But thank god they were here to keep me company the for the first 2weeks. If not I would have cried being in a new place all alone.

It is perhaps nearly to the 4th week that i've been here in San Francisco. Made new friends, trying very hard to study and catch up with brilliant finance people around me however honestly so far, it has been a tough ride.

Life is interesting here - learnt so many things in a short time (traveling by foot, using the BART, carrying heavy stuff while walking, getting used to the american dollar, cooking&cleaning after myself, etc) . Everything is very independent here and America is definitely not like I pictured it to be. Anyhoo, Ill update as I go by and travel around this continent but for now its San Francisco that i'll be exploring - from food, shopping to sight seeing. Maybe, a lil bit of extra adventure?? ;)

Updates to come! toodle loo!

So far, I'm healthy - my legs might be a bit more muscular compared to before :) take care!
