MY LIFE AT HKUST

Sitting here in my dorm-room I wonder. If I were to sum up all of the time I have spent here at UST into one word and one word only, what would that word be?

'INTENSE,' was one of the first few words that came to mind and that is the word I am using now ;)

Over the past two semesters, like a fish out of the water I really have been put in a new environment. A more intense one if you would like to call it. As time flies by, I grew to learn why many and many people call UST, the University of Stress and Tension. Classes and workloads are definitely intense! and catching up with them can turn out to be quite a challenge but I would also be lying if I tell you that I am not enjoying single moment of it.

UST is a place of growth. As I grow to be a  more intense version of myself, whether I like it or not, I have also grown to be a more global-minded person. Everyday I meet up with my friends from around the world whose backgrounds are not one bit similar to my own. Going through the same changes that I am, our intense differences only draw us closer and I am sure not to take that for grant :)

Getting to know the local people can be quite a challenge as well due to language barrier to a certain extent, but it is surely heart-warming to see the people trying their best to communicate with you as much as possible and that alone makes it impossible not to smile.

In every university-life there's a love story...in mine there's a couple sad ones. Though I don't know how to put it into words, or rather do not want to :P I know that there will be quite an intense one waiting for me in the future without a doubt.

To sum up my life at HKUST, Intense workloads, intense friends, intense Hong Kong girls = drowning in a lot of intensity. But at the end of the day, a good night sleep can help you a lot with that so a piece of advice for people joining UST next year, Do try your best to sleep on time~

Ok, I never thought I'd actually be in this position. This is a little overdue though cuz it all happened to me last week right before my midterm exam but that's what I think life is. A pile of troubles crawling upon you when you least expect it.

I have met a lot of people here in Hong Kong, made new friends and possibly made enemies(?) Among those people there are two of them that stand out the most in this past week. Let's call them Boy and Girl. You see, I met Boy first. Boy's one of the first people I met in Hong Kong after that I became close friend with Girl. Girl liked Boy and she came to me asking for simple advice. Actually Girl expected me to stop her, but I know that it was not something Girl wanted me to say so I didn't. Over the winter break, Girl skyped me and msn'd Boy. Girl told Boy about Girl's feelings and Girl and Boy got together in this Spring semester. They are one of the most fucked up couples I know and I am stuck in the middle of them somehow. Just before one of my midterms, there was a meltdown between the two and guess who becomes the late night Dr.Phil..ME!!!! Once until 5AM in the morning. Gotta get my mind back and set priorities straight from now on.

So this is a rant of mine that I can't really tell other people about. Sadly, Girl is like half of my blog readers so Girl will definitely be pissed at me for this. Guess what...My elec101 score, though will probably be bad without you two, is gonna be worse now...RANTING NONSENSICALLY FTW!!!!

Other recent developments in my life...
Got two midterms left~ Studying for Microeconomics currently.

 I need some sleep (~_~)

Arranged Aiesec counter for Global Village this week. It was a success!!! I helped design the Wristband for the event that we handed out. It says Smile in many languages like Bahasa, Thai, Turkish, Hindi, Urdu, Japanese, Chinese and etc.

3:05AM...looks like an early night.

It's ALIVE!!! YES!!! IT'S ALIVE!!!!!
This blog is not yet dead...nor is it forgotten.

Every time I open my Google Chrome I see my blog in one of the 8 major bookmarks...and it pains me that I have to ignore it and go to the other bookmark for the Physics Course page instead of blogging.

A lot has happened in the last couple of weeks and I really need to start blogging them down here. Let's start with ISA Pub night :) It really was a blast. I had tons of fun on that night seeing people getting drunk and do stupid things. They say making friends is easier when you've had a little bit to drink, I say...."Hi My name is Sitt. Nice to meet you." Though a bunch of my friends did some crazy funny stuff that night because they were wasted so I did have some fun through alcohol that way I guess :P
I did meet some nice people and had a lot of fun so it was a success definitely.

Next up is "Suit up Friday," a random event I put together with a bunch of friends out of boredom. Only 10-15 actually joined on that day of course so to some people it was not a big thing to concern themselves with but hey...My friends and I had fun just being awesome...and stupid :)

there's so much more to say...and so many things I have to to write about otherwise my brain might explode.

but it's time to head to bed cuz at UST(University of Stress and Tension),...Sleep is the most precious thing of all.

Too busy to blog...

Life has been filled with a tons of things lately and even though I would like to share on my blog about them, I can barely find the time to just be with myself lately. My thoughts are getting louder and louder on the subject I'd rather make them shut up and I'm catching up with work both inside class and outside. So when I manage to be in a bloggable state again, I'll be back here and share with everyone who reads my blog about how my life is going...Sincerely,Sitt
