February has come.
Finally.
This is the month that I\u2019ll have to make that big jump.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t really understand what I feel. I guess I just feel everything all at once. On one hand, I feel excited and eager to finally start university and open up a new chapter of my life. On the other hand, I feel nervous and hesitant about how different life would be. On the third hand, I also feel quite calm. I guess it\u2019s all about dealing with change. Major<\/em> change.<\/p>\n

If you have read my short profile introduction, you\u2019ll know that I\u2019m going to be heading to Australia. Although I have been there several times for vacations, I\u2019ve never actually lived there before. Moving to a stranger\u2019s place all alone really freaks me out at times. I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m going to find there. I don\u2019t know what to expect. I don\u2019t even know if I can adapt to the life style there.<\/p>\n

Since young, I\u2019ve been raised up in an international community and had many close friends from different parts of the world. If the past is any indication, then I should not have much problems settling into Sydney, a multi-cultured truly globalized place. Nevertheless, there\u2019s still a space for fear and anxiety to hide deep within me. I guess it\u2019s not something that\u2019s meant to be rid of. I just have to deal with it.
As with everyone, there are lots to prepare for. Over the past few months, I\u2019ve been busy dealing with my university on enrollment and registration issues. It was a pain. I didn\u2019t think it was going to be such a pain. Oh well, I persevered through the whole process and have now fully enrolled in my units of study and paid my tuition fees.<\/p>\n

In addition to school administration work, I still needed to make sure that I had all the resources I will need. Clothes, bags, toiletries, glasses, contacts, books, stationery, the list is potentially endless. The worst thing isn\u2019t getting these resources; the worst thing is to pack everything into one seemingly tiny luggage bag. I guess I\u2019ll have to compromise …<\/p>\n

Lastly, there will be the other necessities to take care of. Passport, birth certificates, medical report, and the load. You have to make sure you\u2019re updated with your paperwork and have taken all the latest vaccines. There\u2019s just so much to do! Pre-university can be such a hassle but hopefully everything I do now will be worth it!<\/p>\n

Wait\u2026There\u2019s one last thing that you do before university and that\u2019s to say goodbye to close family and friends. I haven\u2019t had to do this yet as I\u2019m not leaving until 2 weeks. I guess the best way to deal with it is to spend more time with them while we\u2019re still with them. Life will be different without them always by our side so\u2026 go appreciate them.<\/p>\n

Hm\u2026 I guess that\u2019s it for my post this month. Hopefully, university rocks!
Thanks,<\/p>\n
