Hello, America!

Quick update!

So.. I just arrived in the United States! I am actually still here at the airport along with my other intern-mates, waiting for our flight to New York at 8 in the evening. (7 hours layover!) Been awake for almost 40 hours; starting from Friday morning until this very moment. Having a messed up body clock might be the biggest factor but big thanks to my severe menstrual cramps for keeping me EXTRA awake during the flight from Nagoya to Detroit. My period is always on the right timing. Always. Good thing Delta has this good set of movies and songs on their personal TV screens to keep the passengers entertained. (Please do include Coldplay on you playlist next time!)

So… Hi! Can’t believe I am already here, after weeks of bumming around at home. I. Am. Finally. Here. And the reality that training might already start on Monday is not acceptable. You cannot just simply go FROM staying up late, getting up late, lying in bed for 18 hours, eating out, doing absolutely nothing all day TO having to get up at dawn, prepare for work, work for 8 hours a day/40 hours a week, do your own groceries and laundry, prepare your own meals, clean the house, etc. basically being productive and getting your lazy a$$ to work.

I have absolutely no idea on how my life is going to turn out during and after this training but I hope all goes well. I know this won’t be easy, but I have to finish this alive. I don’t want to arrive at my homeland placed in a rectangular box (if you know what I mean lol), I need to freaking survive. So many uncertainties going through my head right now; Will I able to cope with how things work, will I be able to get along with different kinds of people, will I be able to work well.. basically will I be able to KEEP UP (with everything). That’s the real and the only question.

Hoping for the best! Boarding now. Ciao!
