It has been a long time and I have completed my Year 1 Sem 1 in uni.
Have been struggling a lot and a lot in these 4 months, I could say this is the hardest period in my life so far, never been so stressful and I almost cry every day here. I keep reminding myself that this is my choice, no matter how hard it could be, I have to make it succeeds like what I have promised to my parents. It's really not that easy and tougher than what I expected.
The very first activity in school was Hall Orientation Camp, I have been allocated to Kinja, one of the 4 OGs. The camp was fun but due to home sick and I am the only one international student in the OG, I didn't enjoy it to the max. However, I am still feeling blissful because OG's love never stop when the camp ended. Although I am always being like a phantom in the group chat and never attend any activities with them after the camp, they still sent me the welfare packs during midterm and finals and take care well of me.
After Hall Camp, I joined another orientation camp organized by Malaysian Student Association and it was really a fruitful camp. I found those friends that accompany me throughout the ups and downs and I couldn't believe how is life without them in these four months.
Study life started after all the orientation camps, but it was quite slack in the first few weeks, we can still chill in TV lounge, had HTHT sessions with OG until midnight, purposely went to hall 6 from hall 11 to celebrate birthdays. Unfortunately, happy times really fly like flash, nightmare started, we have to sit for midterms and finals, rush for assignments. When these 3 major things come continuously, we really stressed like hell.
I can still remember during one of the Critical Writing lessons, we were asked to submit our first assignment, it was an essay. My prof, she approached me before the class started and asked me did I face any difficulty while completing the essay. My tears burst out on the spot she finished her sentence because I did feel my English is so much worse than the local students and that is why I could not produce a good enough essay and did not satisfy with my own work. After that, she talked a lot to console me.
My roomie she got shocked sometimes because I cried so sudden while having dinner then she came and gave me a hug. Every time when I had any quiz or midterm and if I came back late on that day, she will WhatsApp me because she knows I might cry again if I can't score it. I couldn't ask for a better roomie than her, bought me foods every weekend when she came back from her home, bears my kinds of stuff like snoring at night when I am stress. My friends they all admire that I have such a nice roomie :)
This post marks the end of Y1SI. I really really did my best to complete the finals but I still did it so badly and I used one of the SUs in my first sem OMG. There are still a lot of obstacles in the future. Another 7 semesters, marching on!
