Life update

Assalamualaikum and hello guys

I've been staying in the United States for almost two months and alhamdulillah I enjoy my life here. It is even better than what I expected. I have a few things to share anyway.

  • First, I just finished my midterm exams yesterday and alhamdulillah I did pretty okay I guess. 
  • Second, I'm working at Boynton Health Service (on-campus clinic) every morning from Monday to Friday. The monthly allowance from Petronas is more than enough but I wanna make more money to travel the world!
  • Third, I was selected to be part of NAMSA 17/18 under the Program & Strategies Department. This is really unexpected. At first, I only thought that I wanna join either NAMSA (National Assembly of Malaysian Students in America) or PERSISMA (Persatuan Siswazah Malaysia in Minnesota) during my sophomore year. But since NAMSA was recruiting members, I just sent my resume and eventually get accepted after being interviewed by the Board Members.
  • Fourth, I'm the food director (katanya) for the upcoming Malaysian Night event. Delicious Malaysian cuisine guaranteed.
  • Fifth, I've found someone to sublease my room during the summer break next year. InsyaAllah I will be going back to Malaysia for three months break.
  • Sixth, I'm volunteering at Pratt Community School every Friday as an Art classroom Assistant. They spelled my name eye-za. So cute.
  • Seventh, I will be traveling to Chicago on this weekend and Colorado during the winter break!
