After all the struggle, both for me and my family, I finally arrived at U.S on 7th August.. Very tensed at the O'Hare airport, I was worried that whether anyone will come to pick me up or not.. But after an hour, Lok raja (our senior) came to pick me up and we headed to my new place...DeKalb,IL. It's about 60 miles from Chicago. I was nervous and excited of the fact that I have started a life where I have to stand on my legs, learn and complete Master's successfully and then get a decent job here. I was also excited coz I always heard that U.S is so cool and is a land of opportunities. I came here to make my dreams true...
Lok dropped me at my place on Edgebrook Drive and then when I looked at my apartment building, I thought of taking next flight back to India. Till I reached my place, I was dreaming. Only when I reached there then I realized that I am in U.S and I cannot meet my family for nearly one and half year. I met my new roomies, got introduced and then went to sleep..(Jet lag got me very quickly..ha ha) I slept for 12 hours and when I got up,my roomies were waiting for me to show me the university area. I had bath and then I went with them to explore my new university... I was amazed after watching such big university campus and I always kept thinking in my mind...abhay..you have to make big in this univeristy and in this country !!!
(Next post will be about last few months I have spent here and obviously...about assignments !!)
