First Day in College

First Day in College According to a scientific research we record moments which vary significant marks in our emotional state or in our lifes. There has been circumsatances Ive lived done that has impacted in my life. One of those remarkable moments was my counterbalance day in college. Theres some(prenominal) people that maybe can not understand how difficult is to emigrate. My transition to this country accumulated stess and irritation in the same time. M all people have never tried the feeling of being alone and with nobody. There is no one I can related to have or socialize with that.Thats the States gave me. It put in my way a lot of challenges to pass through. The first one was my first day in college. I remembered that day like was today. The particular one also showed me the differences between America and Eastern part of Europe. It was September 4th 2013. It was a beautiful autumn day. I didnt rest period the night before despite I took pills to help sleep. I guess it was emotional because I was excited. leastways I slept two moments. I got up at 7 oclock. I took a shower,aet the breakfast and I got dressed.All of those movuments were involuntary because I was in a incompatible sate of mind . Physically I was in Torrington while my while part of mine was in 271 Scott Swamp Rd Farmington where the college is located. It was warm and sunny that morn so I was wearing a squared blu shirt and a pair of blue jeans. I took my black rucksack and I went outside where my old brown Chrysler was waiting for me ready for a modernistic adventure. While I got out from my praking lot I started to get cold despite the warmth outside. It was 745 when I passed Torrington .I had driven to Tunxis still once before that day. I had an iphone but without data so in those circumstances I was afraid of getting lost and missing that important day. So essentially I took route 4 and I kept going while I was listening to music. In the same time I was asking myself if I was in right way. I was in that place until the Tunxis campus appeared ahead. Then an otherwise question came in my mind What about now? I passed last lights and I tur abolish the wheels all the way to the left where the college parking lot is. It was full with cars.Ive never look atn something like that in any college or high school in my country. Luckly I found I parking lot. I took my backpack from the back seat and I walked straight to the main entarance. It was 820 while the class started in 830. Theres so many young students like me that were walking to the campus but I bet none of them were like me,I mean like my emotional state. So, I entered in the main entranece of the college which fundamentally is 100 building. When I entered it was so much difference between albanian schools which has only headmaster path and teachers room.I directly noticed the Faculty Office on the left and the Record Office on the right. I didnt know where to go and where my class was. For tha t reason I took to the right I went up to the end at Information Desk where I asked and the told me to look through the sheets attached in the desk which were behind me. Thats what I did. I saw that my first class was Integrated Reading and Writing I and it would be in room 210. Again I asked a guy who passed by and he told me to go through the adit in front of me and to take right in the second door. Finally I found it.There were other students whose were waiting like me. I was watching them and in the same time I was wondering if the would be my first classmates. In that moment an old short blond woman came up toward greeting us. She took a piece of paper form her bag and she saw the code to open the class door. I didnt see before a class door like this. In Albania it dosent exist. We all took a chair. It was a different classroom that I was expected. The student desk was small and couldnt have space for two or to a greater extent students like the desks in Albania were.Another t hing that took my curiosity was a guy who took in his hand a DunkinDonuts umber in class which in my country I couldnt even take a nursing bottle of water in class beace any driks or foods are prohibited. My attention went to my new teacher when she started speak not Albanian but in English in which I wasnt used to. She introduced herself. Her happen upon was Christina. She read our names. When she came into my name she pronounced it wrong so I had a little conversation in order to prounounce my name well despite my broken English. After that the student who were in class started talking with the teacher.I was the only one who didnt participate in class. beacuse I was shy. Therefore three hours went by speedily so that class was over at 1120. When I got out of the class I matte like I accomplished hard duty. The halls of the 100 Building were overcrowded by students but it was quite not like in my country where is too noisy even with fewer students. That day I had only one clas s but my day was still not done yet. I had to meet an Italian girl whose name is Alessia. Her father is my uncles best friend and she is her to help me with anything because she knew all the things there because she was there since two years.She got my number from my uncle so she texed me and she saidto meet in Library. I went there and I saw here. She was the just about beautiful girl that Ive ever met. We started taling for about an hour about ourselves. She asked me about how I felt in America and stuff like that. We talk an hours but it seemed to me like 5 minutes. Now I can understand Einstains quote about relativity Put your hand in a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an houer. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. Thats relativity. That girl was like the cherry on top of the cake. She made my day.
