THE day

Today is the day (actually I can still sleep until morning to call it). I am leaving here from LAX at 9pm. Some of my friends are going to meet me in NY when I have to transfer airplane. My bags are packed. Some still left to put them in my mom's luggage. I cleaned out my things in the room I am staying. It is a guest room, but I have been living there a year now. I have to pack my clothes and things so that any guests or my brother or incase my grands come here, they can stay. It feels weired. It is like moving away even though I know that I will be back in December.

I went to some of my parents' friends houses to say good bye to those old people. It was kind of emotional though. Seeing the tears of eighty years old and over sixty years old people made me sad. I am not leaving forever, I will be back. It is going to be a new life or new experience or whatever you call it, for me. I am excited but also nervous at the same time.

Here I come Grenada, be nice to me.

T minus 9 days

Here I am coming back to my web page to write again. I think that I should write more since this blog is about my documentation on my schooling in Grenada. The clock is ticking now.

I don't feel like doing any thing lately. I don't even visit ValueMD for a while now. What is happening to me? Am I homesick already?

I tired to make myself occupied by doing things like sewing the clothes I didn't know how to make. Yes, that is me. I don't know how to make blouses or skirts, but I do have some ideas. I had make 1 skirt, 1 blouse and a sun dress during this week. They are not top of the line quality but you can wear them though. My room is a mess now with all those fabrics lying around and all those sewing materials. I slept in a tiny place surrounded by all those things. I didn't sleep or had 1 or 2 hours sleep for two night in a row and today I was really down. I slept the whole day waking up for phone calls and food.

My parents went to China with the tour last week and they are back yesterday. It makes sense that my parents have jet lag. When people ask me why I sleep the whole day, what can I say? I didn't go to China but I need to sleep.

Back to the topic....
My luggage limit has exceeded. I have three luggages now. It is good that my mom is coming wiht me. I can use her luggage space. I don't know what I packed in my luggages because it has been a while I packed 2 of them. The third one is packed recently. It is all about food. I put a pot and pan in there, some cereal bags and some breakfast bars and other things. It is already full, I haven't even put Burmese food or a bag of rice in there yet. I might have to use my mom's another luggage space. It is only 9 days left. I am afraid that I won't know how to study again. It seems like a long time since I studied or took classes. Am I be ok over there? I won't have a cold feet. This is what I want to do. This is my dream. I have to be brave and try my best. Nobody can say any thing to me now... I am going to St. George's University School of Medicine. I will be fine. But wish me luck though...
