Life Update : A Year Has Passed

A year has passed since I have landed on the States, though I am currently in Malaysia right now cause its SUMMER BREAK! My thoughts upon arrival in Malaysia run along the lines of "OH GOD WHY DID I COME BACK" because:

1. Its so hot.
2. Everyone is relatively rude. :(
3. I have no friends fml.
4. I have no independence here.

But thank the lawd cause summer break is almost over and I am returning back to normal everyday life with coffee and salads. Oh yeah, I love coffee and salads now, can you believe that? Life has been a sorta roller coaster lately.

I changed my major twice. From chemical engineering to ecological engineering to biological engineering. Its all because of a huge debacle with my sponsor but its all good now cause I used to like biology in secondary school. Then again, I have not touched biology since SPM so I'm a little afraid that I'll be slow and lag behind the other students. I keep telling myself that so far, everyone has been respectful of each other and I tell myself that there are things I know that others don't know and if everyone is respectful of that then we should be good. But I am a third year student and I am still clueless so I am worried.

Ah well, all I can do is work hard I guess. Oh my god, work hard is not something I can do very well. I even have two labs next semester and I am nervous that my cluelessness will show. T_T

Breathe in breathe out. This will all be okay.

Apart from that, I got a job as a glorified lunch lady at one of the dining halls, got an Iphone even after talking shit about it, and travelled!

During winter break which lasted 3 weeks, I travelled to Boulder, Colorado by plane with Faidah! From there, we had a roadtrip with a few of our friends and drove through Utah, Arizona, Las Vegas, and California. I can only remember the trip through rose colored glasses and remembered that I had fun, but I distinctly remember that I hated the driving hahaha. I also remember that I thought road trips are not for me cause I absolutely hated being stuck sitting down for hours and FYI, we drove for 15 hours just to get our asses to Los Angeles. Then it was hours more to go to San Diego and San Francisco and then another hell ride back to Colorado.

T.T But it was fun cause I don't have a license so I didn't have to drive AND I am shit at navigating so I basically slept the entire ride hohoho #uselessparasite

But yeah, it was fun :D

I am hoping for more adventures and I am kinda pissed at myself for returning to Malaysia when I had literally 4 months to go gansau around the States. I need to save money starting from now!
