Week #9 - Memories Recall

Time flies. It is Week 9 of the trimester already. This week, the event “Around the World in 3 Days” was held in CLC concourse. Even though they do not have booths on all the existing countries in the world, it is quite interesting. Most of the booths are on countries from the Middle East, such as Iran and Syria. There are people dressing up in their traditional clothes as well. All the projects and assignments have been released. Delta IT students are getting tension now, with all the due dates to be met.

It feels like everything is just like yesterday. Memories of my university days appear on my mind recently. Everyone is growing and changing within these 4 years. Around 4 years ago, I came to this unfamiliar place and stayed in an apartment with more than 10 other new students. Things did not go at first. But, we sure get along after that. It seems that Alpha is a separate phase in my university life. My classmates are quite close to each other. Sylvia, Yuya and Madhu - I miss you all! We are the multiracial front seaters!

Beta and onwards is like a series of war. Everyone is fighting to get thru every trimester. Everyone is getting eye bags at least a few times in a trimester, especially the last 2. I always wonder if it is due to the poor time management. Well, though it is not enjoyable as during Alpha, we have something to rejoice about.

My industrial training is like another phase. I went to a foreign country without any close to me. I do not know the other trainees before the trip. We are strangers who only know each others’ faces. Yet, we worked things out together, which is the best part. When in Korea, for the first time, I planned my own trip. I think, I am quite pro in it now. Holding a map and explore the city on my own is not something new to me anymore. These experiences can be useful when planning for trips in the future. I did not regret going to Korea for my training, although there are some opportunities that I must let go at the same time. This training has given me much, which include helping me to decide my path in the future.

I am really grateful for those who went thru all these together with me. Thanks for your companion and being a chapter in my life. Hopefully it is not the end.
