Officially a Carnegie Mellon Student

MY!!! There're sooooo many things happened recently. I was back from a trip to Khaoyai with my 2 friends and my boyfriend. I got a beautiful tanned skin back to the city. Time for a good bronzer finally.

The thing is, I just got and Email yesterday from Carnegie Mellon University about the list of all the incoming grads for Fall class 2013(Yes, I did sign my confirmation for Carnegie Mellon School of Drama). there are 25 people in all! with 2 people on my major(Production and Technology Management), ME and another man. 5 international students mostly Chinese, NO THAI, I'm the only girl from Thailand which is so freaking cool! I'm sooooo excited and also little shocked to see the numbers. Who's written on the website "Carnegie Mellon- almost impossible to get in" : I started to get a sense of it now.

So it's time to prepare my I-20 since I am an international student. the officer sent me the file of the form that I have to fill in; will talk about it later after I've finished it. Also there's about Health insurance, financial assistant and so, which I have to look through them carefully again and will write about them later on.

Housing? ????? ? Studio room? 1-bedroom?? a house or an apartment? ROOMATE?????? Personally, I'd love to live alone but everyone told me better to have a roomate on your first year. Fineeeee,,,,,,, I'll try to contact ppl from the list to see weather they want a roomate or not. Just give it a little try. I still want to live alone, but who knows? Roomate may be a great idea as long as I can still keep my privacy.

For now, I-20 is the first priority since it takes forever to get through all the process. So we'll see.

Officially a Carnegie Mellon University student! Cheers!!!!!!

STEP 2: Learn how to drive

And daddy said I need to have a driver license before moving to USA. Actuallly I learned how to drive a car since I was like 8 years old "BUT" the reason why I never want to have my own license is because I am an extremely hotheaded person when it comes to driving. Last time I drove a car was 4 years ago on my first year of college( come on, 4 years of rushing like hell cuz you woke up so late and have you've got only 30-40 minutes to drive from home to Salaya? with a driver- it's like heaven.)

So it's 4 years staying away from a car wheel. It's time to reboot my driving capability.

My first 15 minutes is like HOLY SH** I FORGOT EVERYTHING! But then after that it started to recover.YAY :D

Today is the third time he took me to drive. It's Songkran or Thai New Year which means a four-day- holiday. literally, the road in Bangkok supposed to be empty and easy to drive but it's not. There're sooooooo many people on the sidewalk dancing, screaming, and they're all soaked up with water, also as the people on the truck with water guns and water tank. So there's water everywhere  and the road is quite wet.  It's so annoying but I was still ok with that as long as there's no any drunken rushing down the road screaming like crazy and throwing water in front of my car.

The hardest thing for today's lesson is to do the parallel parking. which I never thought I'd be so damn hard, I mean, it's not hard to park but it's hard when you have to do it on conditions. I practiced almost ten times and it's still not up to dad's satisfaction. I was very angry and annoyed.

But I'll go practice it again soon, there's stiil so many things to learn. What I have to keep in mind is to KEEP CALM AND CONTINUE DRIVING. Damn! Damn!Damn!

I have to add one more thing to my wish list; work hard and become a billionaire and hire a great DRIVER.

P.S. already signed an agreement and sent back to Carnegie Mellon on April 13th, 2013. Happy Songrkan
