First assignment...

Signing in...

So orientation is done, now i'm waiting for the real deal which is next tuesday. Eventhough it's orientation. I've been assigned a homework to do. It's an english composition test to see your english skill. For me, i think it's to test the new student that their grades were real, and not 'paying the money' type. Haha get it ? pay the mon... Gosh ! I'm hate you guys.

Anyways, the assignment is for us write about 300 words to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of studying overseas. Damn, if it's not official i would have write...

'Going overseas has no advantages, they call me names, they use me like a slave, they 'lend' your stuff and not return, they're racist.
Overall, i hate going overseas, thank you.'

Nah, i'm kidding, you guys are great and i don't mind all those things.

Anyways, here is what i wrote about.

"Going overseas had always been in a wishlist of those students that excel in their studies. They want to push themselves to the limit without the help from their parents. This way, they will get the know more about the outside. Where there are no more support when they fall. So with this idea set in mind, they will keep pushing themselves and overcome the problems they will face in the future.

Meeting new people will get the students in knowing more about the world without the need of going there to experience themselves. However, the words that comes from the conversation might sometimes be bias, but you'll get the general idea of what you can expect there. Learning their culture, learning their traditional, these will help the students in interaction with the strangers the right way in the future.

Going overseas will also makes the student in becoming more mature, as they have to do almost everything on their own. You have to make your own dishes, do the laundery, cleaning your bedroom, when before it is always your parent's work. When they have no where to tend to, they have to do it to survive, which this will make them learn must faster than their parents helping them on how to do these simple tasks.

Going overseas are not always an advantage to the student, and also, the country that they come from. Some students tend to forget about their own tradition in their own country, or sometimes forget about rules and regulation. Some might do something that is not appropriate in their home town while it is normal in the overseas. Like hugging for example, some places might find it normal while some find it a sexual harrassment.

As for the country's side, some students like the place so much that they chooses to stay overseas. This means there are less people working for your home country. If there are a lot of these people, they might be a big issue in the next generation or so.

Last and the most common disadvantage might be the cost of living. Like my hometown currency comparing to here in Australia. Unless i work here, my parents will have to take a huge burden due to my stay.

Overall, i think going overseas is like a double-edge sword. You have to take the risk to become a better and more mature person in a shorter amount of time."

That's all for today's blog. No photos again this week, i'm quite busy to 'some' extend.

Till next time, this is Bryan, signing out...
