This is Chicago

It took me 42 days to post a blog entry ever since I stepped foot onto American soil. This pretty much tell you how busy I am with College and the moved into the apartment with my boyfriend, David. The apartment we are at is pretty spacious and after two months it's starting to feel like home.

School has been good to me, manage to take two marketing related classes (Introduction to Public Relations and Introduction to Advertising), one writing class and one Japanese language & Culture class. And I have to count my lucky star that I have gotten myself really good Professors for each of my class, never thought  that I would be so attentive and participate in class discussions, because I'm usually rather quiet in big groups and tend to listen more than to utter a word thinking that I might say something wrong, but I guess that's not the case when you have Professors who are so open to your ideas and take notices to each and everyone of their students.

My first two weeks in Chicago, I made a couple of new friends! Funny thing is they are both asians and here I thought that coming to America I would know more American friends, not that it matter just thought it was worth sharing about. I met Mitsuki during the first meet up with the International Students of Columbia College Chicago, we had a few things in common like video games, anime, the best part was he's japanese and I was into japanese language  he was one of the first who hung out with me!

The other was Tomoyo who I met during an orientation for international students. She accompanied me during Casino Royale, an event that was held during orientation week where students were asked to dress to impress and given chips to gamble for prizes.

Apart from classroom stuff and new friends I have made, I am also very involve with clubs like the Muggles Association of Columbia as an E-Board member and PRSSA E-Board member as their National Liaison. I am really excited about being accepted in my new roles with the clubs and can't wait to get started and show them what I can do!

Despite being homesick for the first few days, I'm doing pretty okay here in Chicago and there so much more I would like to share with you guys about during my stay here, so do stay tune..
