Just a few couple days left...

Ok. "Speechless". Maybe this is a word which can describe how's our feeling today,  in the last week of our Pre-Ac. All of us will be separated and leave St.John's to our academic program. Just a few ouple days left... 2 weeks sometimes is not enough to know each other, but most of us can feel: this is our home, our family. Some of us will still be together later as we have the same university, but most of us will feel the same feeling as we came here for the first time.  We have to start everything from the beginning; know the place, introduce ourselves, make networking and maybe..feel alone. Whatever our condition later, most of us must be agreed that actually in the deep of our heart, it shouts: "I won't leave this lovely condition!"

Today..one of our friend will be leaving, since he will have an orientation in his university. And, we can feel the saddest thing: to say good bye. No, we don't like to say "good bye", we prefer to say: "See you later.." The same thing we felt when we leave our American family yesterday: Hopefully we will have the chance to meet each other again. Because it is hard to separate after having a lovely time together, after we have been "clicked" each other. Remembering the hardest part of our life: when we have to say good bye to our loved ones, our family before leaving our country..to get our dream in the US. And it will happen again. Here, in Queens..on August 17..

Hopefully we will not cry when we leave then. And hide the sad thing when we have a farewell then. Even though I am crying writing this post..but trying hard to ensure : we still have a few couple of days..we still have a time to be together.

Instead of saying: "Just a couple of days left..", Let's say: "There is still a couple of days.."
Until the time is through..,to say: "See you later.."

I love to be together with you here,
Dear Fellow Fulbrighters.
May be we're not having breakfast, lunch and dinner together.
Since some of us having our fasting.
Maybe we just have a little time together.
But,
We can't deny..: This is our "home".
Even it is far away from our trully home.. in our country.
Thank you so much for such all the lovely things.. Dear Fulbrighters!

Hope to meet you again in other Fulbright Programs...
in other conditions.
Hope we can still keep in touch later. :)


Big Hug and Love,
~Fika
