19 days before departure

It's Sunday and I'm at school....again. I decided to check on this http://test.itd-amherst.org/?p=tsi_2010 and found some interesting tasks that should be done before my trip start. Reading..reading..and reading is what  I have to do. I printed out the document that is necessary for discussion only on June, 21..OMG..25 pages of them!! I knew it from the very first day of writing an application for this scholarship that i must read 25-30 pages a day for the whole 6 weeks period. However, when the time is getting closer..I have to admit that I'm getting a little bit scared. But I'm gonna be fine..that what I'm telling myself everyday!!

21 days before departure

It's been a long week and I'm getting tired of the whole lot of work that I have to complete before leaving for Amherst, MA. In fact, I don't even think of how I will travel to the airport until my boss said to me if I needed a school van. Last week I was very stressed about how I would survive the 25 hours flight. A couple of teachers told me to take some Thai herbal medicines and try to get as much sleep as I can.  I agree with them so now my bag is full of Thai herbal capsules and pills. I hope to enjoy my long distant flight now. Thank for the useful information from this link on how to enjoy my flight. http://blinklife.tv/how-to-enjoy-your-flight.html

Getting myself ready..

To prepare myself for studying in the US, I need to learn American history and other topics as much as I can. Documentary on America on History Channel is rather useful for a beginner like me. Take a look at this and you will find it informative and useful.
