What is the best part of studying in the United States? I would like to say that is having the chance to meet wonderful people. Feeling connected to the greater minds is a worthy reward for me to go such a long distance, half way around the world.

Despite all those unpleasant things, I must say that I was lucky enough to have my first snow right at the arrival in this (once was) faraway land. Although I am an alien plant which is removed from its old soil to be temporarily transplanted in a strange place, I do appreciate the cold white snow I am stepping on.
