There are parties in campus almost every weekends.
Whenever you say these two alphabets, "UK" to the people in the states, the first thought they would have would be University of Kentucky instead of United Kingdom. Next, they will ask you this question, "have you been to the basketball game?"
"Go big blue!"
Yes I'm currently studying at a university in Lexington, Kentucky where people have these two alphabets, "UK" basically on everything from bags to shirts, cups, caps, car plates, and the list goes on. Blue is the main color here and red is the color of their rival, University of Louisville. It is advisable for you to not wear red to a game. Do it at your own risk.
Lexington is the second largest city in Kentucky after Louisville. However, in my opinion, Lexington is small so I would call it a town. Lexington reminds me of Malaysia because there are trees everywhere. I can't wait for the arrival of autumn. I bet I can play around with all those fallen leaves once again.
I admit that I have homesick (again!) when I first arrived in Lexington. I miss Ipoh and Mt. Carmel as well. I admit that I complained and whined about Lexington, my room, my lecturers, my classes, and the bus system. After two weeks in here, I accept the fact that I have to move on with my life. It's part of growing up. "We need to get out of our comfort zone" (weichien). Yes, I am pushing myself to do so and yes university life is stressful to me.
I apologize for the lack of decent photos about Lexington and my university. Here's a good one.
Delicious Indian food which reminded me of home.
Smile. Love. Persevere.
