Mui-Ling Teh

Thanks Adz :-)

I hope my laptop will play nicely this time too; though I can’t really blame him/her for being rebellious; hadn’t reformatted him/her in 2 years :P; and if my body feels pain from pulling two alnighters in a row – well I’ve never left my computer on for more than a day; but I often had to run so many programs at once on it that puts a lot of weight on it’s shoulders. They say machines can’t feel pain, but who knows :P.

Thank you cheryl!

Thank you Lisa! I’m going to be attending school in Rome; and I’m hoping that school stress won’t get too much in the way of enjoying Rome. Luckily I’ll be staying there in December and going to London from there directly. I know I’ll be able to enjoy London because I’m more free during an internship; though I’m guessing there is more to see in Italy so I hope to stay there as long as I can before I begin work.

Lol, don’t worry I’m not a partying or drinking type. I like to travel though; that’ll be something I have to control – being over there I’m sure anyone would feel they have to see as much as they can while they are there, but that can really affect marks. We do have field trips and I’ve decided that I’ll make use of those times for the sightseeing, and spend the rest for school unless I’m really free or if I have to travel for the sake of an assignemnt ;) I’ll be spending the Christmas break there too so I can fully enjoy that time.

I am thinking about using a courier or buying things while I’m in Italy – apparently some things are cheap there (or so I’ve heard); though I may have to courier back anyhow – the best is if I am able to pack really light.

Thankd very much for your words of encouragement Jason, it means a lot to me. Though this is a very exciting opportunity I must admit I feel a bit tense; school is always a lot of work and I don’t speak Italian. Now we attend classes in English but for our own shopping and such I may need to use some Italian; though I’ve heard from some past students that it’s possible to get away with using English. But regardless I do feel lucky; so long as nothing tragic happens. One thing you can count on though is that I won’t be partying ;) I’m actually too extreme in the other way.

Thank you Thelma; I love this community. While this is a great opportunity, I do feel sad that I’ll be spending less time on the Bubble, and I’m grateful for those who understand and continue to support me here.

They say the courier service to Italy is really slow; and school’s advice was to pack as light as possible and buy things while we’re there. Sometimes I do feel the school needs to provide more support, info and services… but I’m getting there so no point complaining about it now. I bought a plug adapter today since Italy and London both use a different kind of plug than Canada. Luckily I did my research but I don’t know if every other student is aware of this difference; they may end up bringing their laptops and having no where to plug it! The school hasn’t given any heads up; maybe they assume everyone would already know?

Spanish and Italian tend to be pretty close; maybe there is a similar saying in Italian for “Buena suerte”. Thank you for your words of wisdom Dayonda. I was still suffering myself from some awful memories from school but your words are giving me a new hope; I’ll come back to them when I’m down :)

Thanks blamo! See you in the UK maybe :D

THANK YOU! =)

Wow thank you so much Michelle! I just had a few places in mind, but haven’t planned the entire 4 months yet. I’ll look into those places :)

Thanks Lori, and sure I’ll bring you some pictures – If we can keep our fingers crossed that my laptop won’t get stolen; a good excuse to ask lady luck to chase thieves and thugs away from my pc isn’t it ;)

If I were with you when that happened and saw it; I’d chase after that thug and pounce on him/her (and kick him/her :P) – unless it was a child.

I’ve been trying to brainstorm ways to prepare for these kind of situations as they are more common in Europe than they are here. I once had this silly idea that I’d always carry an apple with me, that I could throw at the thugs if I needed to, in order to make them fall down, hence allowing me to catch up to them, without killing them ;)

Thank you Gregory.

I’ll miss you to Karin. Though this is an exciting opportunity I am a bit sad that I won’t be able to spend as much time on the bubble; but I will keep in touch. Luv Mui-Ling

I will back up regularly; I learned from the previous tormenting semestre :P. I will keep in touch fa, you take care too :) hugs, glompz
