The past couple years has been such a roller coaster ride for me. Migrating across 7 seas to a strange land where, I knew, spotting a familiar face was a long shot. The odds were worse than that of winning a jackpot on the slot machine. The mere thought of moving to a new country can be extremely overwhelming, more so for me, given the fact that I am an anxious person by birth. My mind was brimming with a plethora of questions, possible answers to which, could potentially call me off my endeavor. But whatever made me reach out to that GRE guide, inspite of my concerns I think, has paid off, at least so far.
I still remember my first step on the United States soil, after a ‘22 hours’ long, tiring flight. On one hand, I was excited that I finally made it to the much hyped USA and on the other, was really scared and a little addled. All I wanted was, to just go home, take a shower and crash. It was only later that day that, the fact really sunk deep within. The fact that, I am no longer in my loved homeland. The fact that, I now am completely on my own. And I remember how it freaked me out. Time and again, I had been asking myself if I had made the right move. It just took a few weeks hence, for me to hear myself saying a resounding ‘YES’, the answer to my question. Since then, I have had an amazing experience. Trying to juggle between classes, work, social life, campus activities (and these days, Job Hunt), I really feel like I have been in a circus show, fun and exciting at times and a lot of struggling and anxiety during others.
Everyday, I have lived through a new story but that is a topic for a whole new post. This was my first attempt at a web blog and it just makes sense to stop it here and not ramble on and on. So, let me look back to see how interesting it really has been and start putting together my dramatic experiences on paper. Till then ADIOS AMIGOS !!!
