Long journey to Keuka

I was so excited about the longest trip ever in my life.

Studying abroad is my dream when I was in high school. It took me 27 hours flying from Vietnam to USA. Finally, I have been USA for a couple of weeks. It is not my first time been abroad, so I get used to everything around more easily.

My first impression was the ancient beauty of my college. I took lots of photos and posted them on Facebook to show my friends in Vietnam, who are attending the joint program between Keuka College and ISVNU. Where I stay in the campus is called Blyley Hall. My roommate is an American girl, humorous and talkative. Her friends are interesting and they shared with me many things about American culture and lifestyle. I also taught them some Vietnamese and we had lots of fun.

I just impressed with the transition week and student activities. One of events I joint is teamwork building. I enjoyed the outside activities the most which I had a chance to make friend with many people and got bunches of experience, connection and teamwork skills.

My first study week tends to be so tough. I am a only Vietnamese student in the statistic class. So I feel so nervous when the professor kept talking so fast. Luckily I found out a tutor who helps me out. I caught up the lesson and can do my homework on my own.

So many interesting things are waiting me ahead…
