My first day is about one month ago from today. I remember that I wandered from place to place at LAX airport. All of the signs were written with english, so I can't figure out where I am, where I should go, and which line I should stand. My excitement was changed to tension and confusion little by little. But many kind america people helped me. The person who I want to say thank you again the most is a man from Hwaii. Unfortunately, I forgot his name, but I know he is professor at CSUF. he carried my baggage to my apartment and help me about move-in problem for an hour. Like this, my first thought of california was that most of people are kind. Whenever I enter buildings, people hold the door for me and wait until I get into completely. Also they always smile when I come across them. In addition, I love the weather here. In Korea, the weather is too humid, So I had hated going out during the day because of swear. yet, I don't have to hate the daytime anymore. In contrast, one inconvenient thing is that downtown is located too far from my home. Because I don't have a car, It's hard to go shopping or go to the movie or anything. Also I couldn't look around the Fullerton yet and I had to spend boring weekend at home. In my hometown, subway and bus is very popular transportation, so I could go anywhere by them in Korea. My poor english skill is another problem. Not only I can't express my idea exactly, but also I can't understand their idea. So it's very hard to make a american friends. But my roommate and several american friends who listen attentively to my terrible english are giving me a confidence and possibility.
I miss korean food so much. A few days ago, I could go to korean restaurant thanks to my roommate. It was the best memory for one month. But to speak honestly, I miss my family little. Because my parents are kind of a conservative, having my own life leaving them is very interesting to me. I can hang out with friends until midnight, and I don't have to listen to their scolding anymore. Sometimes, I feel sorry to my parents when I call them to get more money pretending to missing them....
Actually, I totally satisfied with new life in california. I can't sure this feeling would be last long, but it's obvious that I will miss california after I go back to Korea.

ReplyDeleteIt's always exciting to study in a new place, so it's ok if you don't miss your family too much. When I studied abroad in Egypt, I had so much fun and was so busy, that I didn't miss my family that much either. Hope you continue to like your life living here!
