Preparing for the Rock

First of all, I want to thank people who visit my blog. I thought no one visit here, but I was wrong. Thanks for the comments too.

I have been collecting things to bring to Grenada. It is really hard trying to figure out what to bring. Thankfully I have some help from SGU forum in www.valuemd.com . I have been visiting and posting messages there for like a month now. There are so many things that I want to bring to Grenada. I never been to GND and I don't know what they have and they don't have. Since I am a asian, I need to eat rice. I am bring a rice cooker there. So far I have my laptop and a rice cooker. I also have a peeler and kitchen mitt. I just have to figure out how I am going to bring all the thing I need to bring and want to bring.

People advise me to bring pillow and sheets too. I don't know where to buy the bags that you can put stuff and suck out the air with vacuum. The pillow has to be compressed otherwise, I will have a big problem fitting things in my suit case. Speaking of which, I don't have any luggage yet. I have to buy 2. Lots of money have been spent lately. I just bought some scrubs and lab coat. It is really difficult to order because the scrubs are usually big and I think i have to order small or x-small. So I ended up ordering both, small and x-small. The color is called ciel blue. What is that color? I am not so good in color names. Also I need to buy other stuffs such as cereal, granola bars, easy mac, a rain coat, and some medicine like Tylenol and NyQuil. I am coughing now and those cough medication made me drowsy most of the time. I will try to post here before I go. The first term will be really tough one. With all the hard courses, I also have to deal with roomate and strange food/places.

Sick

Ok, I haven't been posting any thing new and I know that no one really cares. There is nothing really news about me. Yes I have been accepted to St. George's Univeristy and I posted about that. Yes I have been very excited about going to SGU and also very stressed out. I don't know what I should bring down there.

I've been kinda sick lately. In addition to all my allergies, I am coughing now. I had decided to eat lots of food (especially Burmese food) while I am here and now I can't. No, I don't want to eat because I am sick. I really want to eat them but I don't feel like it. May be I am stressed out.

Have I ever mentioned that I worry about things too much. I am worrying now about how I am going to study there, how I am going to eat there, how I should get along with the roomate, how am I going to get my check deposit, how I am going to get money, how how how. I haven't been working since last year, so you can see that I am broke. No money. I did worry about how I am going to pay for that $1000 deposit to SGU. Well, I finally asked my dad to help me out. (I don't like to ask, I don't want to burden other people) I just sent my loan application today. I don't know how I am going to pay for my loan though. My financial counselor told me that every $1 I borrow, I have to pay back $3. How am I going to pay back 230K times three?

Before those loan things, I had to worry about air tickets. Well, I bought a one way ticket first to Grenada and I was happy about it. Then I worried that I wouldn't be able to get my tickets in Grenada if I buy the return ticket there, so I bought the return tickets too. I searched and searched for the tickets online (spending way too much times and too much of my brain cells).

See, that's why I don't want to write in here. Every thing I write is going to be my worries. I think I will stop now and write when I can think of other things beside worrying.

Oh, I got my laptop today so one worry is off my mind. Phewwwwwww....

Here I come St. George's

I am in. Finally. I didn't expect it today since it was saturday and no message when I got home. I didn't even check my e-mail until an hour ago. When I checked my e-mail, there it was an e-mail from my admin officer. She said I would appreciate her e-mailing me the good news since it was only 8am in east coast (which was 5am here). I would also appreciate a phone call at 5am if it was a good news. I have my Ross application filled out and put in the envelope already and ready to send out so that I am not too late for Sept term. Now I don't have to. I am so happy now. I just have to find out how to buy the air tickets. I heard most of them are sold out and very very expensive now. Humm I have to buy it anyway.

Still waiting

Don't know what else to think. Can't even blog. Don't want to do anything. It has been 3 wk and no new yet from SGU. The lady said (impatiancely) that she would call me or e-mail me when she knew the decision from the committee. My file is with the committee since May 18.

AHHHHHHHHHHH, I hate waiting. It better be a good news. What do I do now? Start thinking about Ross?
