    Study Story Start

    Dear my space,

    Long time no see. Sorry that I couldn't meet you since I arrived in the United States.
    Yeah, it was very busy. You know what, I had stayed at Los Angeles airport for 15 hours !
    My flight was canceled and it's the last one of the day. Luckily, I could make it and took a flight directly to Chicago instead of NYC. *sigh*

    My Fall semester begun on Aug 25. So why had I been here since Aug 15 ? Good question. And thanks for your attention.
    As an international student, we, I mean my friends as well, have to take TB test, give a photocopy of passport to university, and stuff. Moreover, we need personal household like blanket, pillow, mat, and so forth. So the first week was busy but full of excitement.

    Where am I living ? Of course, dormitory. I share a double room with Thai roommate, Tee. At least, we can communicate to each other well.
    The dorm is so far away from the academic building that we, I mean everyone, have to take a bus. I hope that I can afford a bike which makes my traveling easier. But first of all, let me receive allowance from Office of Educational Affairs ...

    I believe you want to see my classes, right ? I'm not sure where you are created but the education system should be similar. Here they are:

    ESL114 - Academic writing
    Econ103 - Macroeconomic
    Computer Science 125 - Introduction to computer science
    Math 347 - Fundamental Mathematics
    Math 415 - Linear Algebra
    LAS 101 - College Experience

    oh, please store these information for me. I don't want to forget a class and get 'F' at the end of semester. Keep in mind...

    I can't inform you how I like these classes now. I have studied for only a week. In fact, I have an opportunity to drop or add class now. Well, if I do add it, my credit will exceed its limit 18 hours. Yes, my friend (my roommate, to specify) does that but I want to have a chilling time for the first year. That's why I arrange all classes after 11 am. I can get up late everyday, Happy Morning !

    Ah, I forget one important thing, picture. Sorry again. I don't have camera yet so I can't share you my photo. Don't be sad ... I will do it soon. Hang in there.I promise that you will like my pics, I mean my university. You will see how wonderful math department is ! It's a castle, literally. Other pat of colleges are great too. Give me a time to explore around the campus please. It's too big to see every single place in a week.

    Even though I'm writing this in English, I'm astonished at how large Thai people group is. I realize that I've talked in English only a few time. Most of time is spent with Thai people. It's happy though but I still need to improve my poor speaking skill. That's a reason why I'm here, right ?
    We, I mean Thai people, are gonna held "Thai Night," an event we represent our traditional, belief and our proudly cuisine to foreigners. It will be a very big event, as well as a very hard work to do. We, I mean you and me, will see the results soon.

    How are you so far ? I think it's kind of boring to stay in a limit space, bounded with a straight line and translated into a trillion of bitstring of two digit number all the time. I'm sorry. I can't take you out, although you've helped me express and safely store my thoughts since I first met you here. In exchange, I will commemorate my precious memory with you. Sounds interesting ? I will bring you along with me and keep you up-to-date. Even if I can't promise that I will always talk to you because of workload, I'm going to at least try my best. So, my space, please stay calm. Do your job and I will do mine.

    See me soon,
    - First @ University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign -
