Hi guys,

It’s been quite a while since I came to my blog (I have been monitoring my stats though, lol). And the reason is, *drum roll* I have been preparing for higher studies. I finally landed in US three weeks ago. And the college I am going to attend is Carnegie Mellon University. Studying in such a reputed university is a dream come true. Which also means more responsibilities and lesser time.

I couldn’t keep up my schedule while preparing for here, I can’t imagine if I will get time for writing. But I promise, I’ll try my best. So, the classes have started and I am still pretty confused about the classes I should take. I have registered for 4 courses, which everyone says is more than enough for a master student but I just feel like I am too free. May be because it’s just the second day of the classes.

But otherwise, the profs are cool, everyone is really helpful and what I like the most is the collaborative nature of the education here. No wait! On second thought, what I like the most is that you can eat and drink in the class and no one would bother you. Sometimes, when you enter the class, it’s smelling of salad, but yeah, pretty convenient.

Food reminds me, it’s really difficult to get used to American diet. I am vegetarian plus I don’t eat eggs in anything, not even cakes and stuff. On the top of that, I am not very fond of cheese either. So eating outside is no option for me anyway. I generally cook for myself, but I need to improve in this field too *sigh*

Oh, the free goodies! Yesss! I need to brag about it! I am sure this is the culture of US colleges, but there are so many events that take place everyday. And we get so many freebies, like anything. Which is a good thing, I think. I just hope I get funding for my masters from somewhere. That’s a challenge too.

Anyway, I’ll go back to cooking dinner and try to take time out to post some pics from Pittsburgh and CMU. Or maybe some trip I take in US since it’s a new chapter and a new place….
