New Student : 8 A.M wake up call

It feel so nice to see number of page views, new visitors, returning visitors go North daily. I got very encouraging reviews and adding list of questions to write about. I was thinking about how first few months at school where. It was very steep learning curve. Everything is different, opposite of what we are used to. If we need to run on the lights, switches has to be pushed up side ( opposite to India).

When traveling, people will talk about Exits, road numbers, and many other jargon’s. When, I driving to the University for the first time, I was amazed to see clean roads, big cars. It was dream come true after watching English movies for sometime.

Due to time difference for first few days, we will tend to get up early in the morning, when majority of Indian community students will be sleeping. Typical first few days will look like, wake up early, walk to the lab, you will come across new students like you and few others seniors who has part time job.

If you happen to visit the library, lab, it will be very hard to see students from India before 11 AM. Slowly, you will get adapted to working late habits. We used to play cricket in the parking lot, very late in the day, like 11 PM to 4 AM. It was fun, sometime cops will walk by to learn the game and see if things are going good.

Getting up early was routine for first 2-3 months, but majority of my class was in the evening, so the trend started to change. Still that habit lingers in me after few years. I work late and wake up early.
