First day of school and I am feeling the rush already.

Firstly, American students are really vocal~ something I actually like because they make me more comfortable in participating. Over here, it’s a must to have an opinion of your own…this is because in Junior Year classes, students in each class are very little. In my Public Finance, I think only 30 students max…it is so small that the professor already know the names of the class members. But something I am really proud about is that, perhaps, as a Singaporean student, we ARE really, in some sense, academically well equipped. J The courses that I have taken in NUS are useful! I relied on these knowledge to form my own opinions, so, it’s kindda an asset to all of us…haha..why am I crapping on this?

I lost that feeling of being in a foreign land since I came over…until today. First day of school, there are a lot more students in the campus then ever. I kindda feel out of place during lesson time. In NUS, my friends are all around me, but over here, I really stood out as an Asian. UCONN is a place where there is really a low rate of Asians around.  I suddenly feel small amidst of Americans, who are usually bigger and taller in size.

Today, the Public Finance Professor asked me: You are from the National University of Singapore? It’s a long way here!

Yeah, it’s a long way here.
