Bow down to the people who stayed there for a month, 'cause
I didn't even have three weeks. Well, I'm not saying I don't like it
here, I seriously do and if I could, I'd stay here for longer time, but there's
no way I could do it. So, I'll just try my best to tell you about my
impressions about Niagara College and everything happened here through the time
I've spent.
To be so honest, this is my very first trip to an
English-speaking country. Ever. And the first studying trip too. So, I was
coming here having no clue what would happen to me, what it would be like. I
didn't even know what to expect. Feel free to lol at my awkwardness.
But surprisingly, everything I was scared about
(pretty much that was a fear of obscurity) didn't even happen. My homestay-family
was very glad to meet me, the first day at school (which was Friday, 13th,
lol *people still use that LOL thing at their blogs, did you know*) was
interesting and I didn’t even get lost in the college. That’s very cool for me,
to be honest, ‘cause I’m that type of person, who can get lost “between three
trees”. Oh, I can even tell you about
the test I got at the first day to know my language-level. Actually, I thought
I totally failed that thing, because I’m getting too nervous these times, so I
never expected getting somewhere higher than the 2nd level. So when I
got 4th, I was like “woah, isn’t there a mistake”. But there wasn’t,
which I’m really happy about, in fact.
Honestly, I’m a girl with a memory lasting not longer than a
butterfly’s life. That’s it. So I’m bad at telling stories in detail, like, I
don’t even remember what I ate for breakfast, what are you expecting from me?
But I’m still trying to tell you how was it like, to study
here, to live here. Welland is 14 hours away from my hometown, Kazan: 12 of
them are by plane and two by car from Toronto airport. And even though the way was long enough to
die from having-nothing-to-do, I liked it. Do you like planes? I’m in love with
flying. Probably, that’s why I enjoyed it.
But I’m out of theme again. I have to say, I would never get
the experience I got here anywhere else in the world. Short, but true. I wanna
return here again, maybe, for a complete year or just a month again, I don’t
know. But I like it here. The program, the people, pretty much everything.
