HELLO. I LOVE INSERTING RANDOM PHOTOS.
1. Who I am – I am no one from nowhere who spent 27 hours of plane ride to get to somewhere , where I hope to become someone.This is where I come from :

Photo credits : Me 😀
I love dogs and I talk to them, which makes me look like a weirdo.( Those are my 2 babes in the photos, aren’t they adorable?).
I am addicted to facebook .You can add me because I am not creepy stalker. I think I am not a bad person, either.
2.My top 3 concerns –
1)I am not sure if it’s worth to cross half the globe and leave all the people and things I love to study at Baruch. I had to leave my 3 dogs and they won’t remember me anymore when I go back.
2 ) I never spoke English so I have some difficulty trying to translate what I want to say.It’s annoying when people don’t understand what I am saying because I have this Burmese accent,or may be I just don’t make sense when I talk.
3) Obviously, grades! I am used to British system, where everything is structured and I just have to memorize everything to get 100. Here, readings, assignment and discussions. I don’t quite understand the system yet so first semester won’t be easy for sure. Besides, I am learning about politics. Back in Burma, it is all dictatorship and we could be prisoned for saying “democracy is good”. Calculus is the only subject I am doing well ( except that I am still figuring how to use the calculator. WHY DO WE EVEN NEED CALCULATOR?)
3. College might not be different from high school for some of you guys, but it is a BIG leap for me. I am glad that I don’t need to wear hideous uniforms anymore. Even though I get more freedom, it comes with responsibility. Frankly, I miss my high school life where I don’t need to worry about anything at all. Life was so easy. But, I appreciate how college is teaching me to enter adulthood and take responsibility for my actions.
4. This semester will probably change my anticipated views of college life in U.S. I hope I will learn and grow through the semester.Hopefully, my communication skills will improve so that I won’t look like a sociopath anymore.
Tchao!
Bisous,
Caroline
It’s pretty incredible that you came halfway around the world to study at Baruch. The differences between the “freedom” we have in America and how society treats education in Burma sort of blows my mind. I’m not sure if I would survive in a Burmese college more than a day without feeling like I would want to murder someone. Hopefully you enjoy your college life here!
i also like teh doggies. they are cute. look like twinz.
luv the pics 🙂 nd i luv german shepherds
Xavier, you have no idea how much it sucks. haha and the dogs , mother & daughter so yeah. I wish I could just blog about my dogs and then it’d be moreeee fun =.=

‘I am addicted to facebook .You can add me because I am not creepy stalker.’
