Landed in Lafayette, Louisiana, USA on AUG 22 2006 at 12.03 AM in the night, was picked up by the president of students and was taken to a girls room. Called my mom to let her know that I reached safely, then my sis and bro. I used to weep when woke up and when I sleep every day. My school was about to open in two and I started searching for jobs and funding going to every department and every professor to inquire any open positions.I could not find a job until middle of my semester then one of seniors recommended me for a small job in an English department I used to get 6$/Hr. I felt very happy coz that was my first ever earning.Generally it is a tradition that students who do not have funding/assistant ship can apply for them the following semester by getting a good grade in the first semester.
I was living with 5 girls Me, Harika, Deepika, Vidya, Srujana who are my friends now, me and Srujana is of same class and the rest of them were seniors. We had lot of fun time together especially watching movies together, shopping together, chit chat, studying for exams,doing projects everything was good. We moved like a family then, but I feel sad now that every one is busy with their schedules and we got lost in touch with each. Then there came Deepthi to join us as Vidya left after her graduation and she mingled with us instantly and we had a great time.
Then came the exams and projects and every body was busy with their works. Srujana got Assistant ship and felt happy for her. It was my turn to feel that stress waiting for funding, fortunately I also got Assistant ship. Since then we grew apart and could not spend time together because of our work schedules.
It was December the end of semester, hence I planned to visit my sister in Florida. My cousin also planned to visit my sis and me Florida. It was the best time we spent together. We went to late night rides, late night photo sessions. What an amazing time we had. It was the time we got a call from our family that my brothers engagement has fixed and the marriage date is fixed in January.
