After I had been frustrated for a month of having no access to my favorite website, finally my friend could get the solution. So, here I am.
It is the first time for me to live apart from my lovely parents. I admit that it was so hard to adjust my life with limited money, big expenditures, and some new kinds of food. However, I got some new friends. Fortunately, they are very kind (maybe because we are in the same position, I guess).
At the first day, I ate McDonalds. Not because we really like eat it (yeah, we like it so much, actually), but because we had no idea thus we couldn't speak Chinese! Nonetheless, the food is much better than Indonesia's. On the next days, we managed a lot of things in order to stay here. It was very exhausted yet fun, like we can get closer into each other.
As a postgraduate student, I do not have a mid term test (yay), but I have 3 assignments to do. It's only three. However, I can do all the assignments like for years. It's very hard to finish all in time. Now, after a month, I've just finished 1 group assignments which is "the easiest" one. So, welcome to postgraduate life.
The other change in my life is I learn more to manage my time and money due to the fact that I can't depend on my parents to provide me food, clothes, transportation, and others. I have to do all things by myself, dependently. It's not easy at all since I do not expect that some things here are more expensive than Indonesia, like shampoo and soap. I was getting shocked when I bought them. I know that it will be beyond my this month's financial target. I have talked to my parents and I felt guilty. But, I determine to save my money more in the following months.
Finally, it's my current ordinary life. Well, I hope I can enjoy it for the next 2 years.
