Here I am

Well, here it is. This the big deal is. I am here in University of Birmingham now. To make the story short, things start when I applied Ford Foundation Scholarship and seemed things just run smoothly. I got it. :) Then I applied four universities and was accepted at University of Birmingham and I took the offer and here I am... 

I am on my seventh week here now. I completed my pre-sessional course (English for Academic Purpose) and in the next coming 4 Oct, I will start my main course, International Development. I take M.Phil in International Development as I am thinking that's the way to have better understanding abt research. Then if i'm fortunate enough, i could pursue my PhD. If I am lucky enough. lol...

Couple things. First, I met my Ford fellows here.  I think they are great if not brilliant. At least, I could say that I have peers who share things in mind and I feel like at home when I am around with them. One from South Africa and another one is from India. I am not very much yet in touch with others but I believe they are cool too.... 

Secondly, despite our continuous 'hot conversation' about England and all, one thing I respect so much, so far about being here is 'honesty'. The story is I left my external hard disk at Uni Library, careless me, on Monday perhaps and then I came to Library desk this afternoon and I got it.... :) :) :) So happy get it back.. I respect that...
