Nervous

3 more days and I will be on my way to USA

I feel very nervous now as this is very different from last time I went to Australia:
  1. Last time, I went to Australia to study. This time, I am going USA to work. Work in McD
  2. I have no idea what kind of place am I going. Unlike last time, I know I will be in around the university
  3. This time, in a group of 4, we are going USA and that's it. Unlike last time, a much bigger group is going and I had friends (liping example) in Australia
  4. I have no friend and family in USA
  5. I had to arrange transportation and accomodation myself. Unlike last time, I still can stay in halls and Monash provide transportation for us to reach the campus
  6. I never stay at a place that snow. Totally winter. Unlike Australia that just being cold and rainy during winter days.
  7. My first time working as a cook/casher/order taker
  8. H1N1 in USA.
  9. I hope i understand their english ascent. I hope they understand my english too.
  10. Hope my employer is a nice person

Of course, besides packing, I believe I need to prepare mentally as well. People who know me knew that I plan everything nicely before hand. I say no to excitement and accident. Hope this time, I can train myself to deal with a new surrounding well.

I believe, I am growing... To be a better man
