We are four all together, one didn’t show up, two Chinese, an Indian and myself. I only remember one name “Kai” because it’s cool and I think the other is “Eric” that’s his English name.

All the Chinese people I’ve met and they are quiet a lot here, have two names, Chinese and English, because as one said, it’s very hard to pronounce our names.

We sat with our supervisor, he asked us to write down our home address, he looks at us and said:

“So you’ve come a long way from your countries, was it is straight forward or it took you a while to get here”

The Indian said: “Well I’ve been in UK for 5 years and living in London so it was straight forward for me and didn’t have problems moving here”

I was going to “أتحلطم” that getting the freaking visa was a nightmare, but it was “Eric’s” turn to speak.

Eric: “I came on a bike and he -pointing to Kai- walked”!!

Me trying not to FREAKING laugh LOL, maskeeeeeen, he understood the question wrong and was speaking of getting here from their dorm. The supervisor didn’t even correct him We just sat there in complete silence, I didn’t want to open my mouth

…..

“OK, we’ll meet regularly …” continued the supervisor

Don’t know how I’m going to spend this year with the two of them Eric and Kai speaking Chinese all the time, I need to tell them to stop it. One more thing, they are all TALL, you see Asian people somehow short but masha’Allah all the ones here are TALL.

So we are destined to meet again! In my graduation project, we used VHDL to design a part of our complete computing device. I nicknamed it: Very Hard Dick-headed Loser who came up with it I faced a hard time with it as you can tell but it is required in my course now

Java is also a part of it all, I need to refresh my Java badly.

My programme has about 15 students, 3 girls including me, and most students are from China!

We had a little test to assess our knowledge, I think I got three questions right and left all else blank, I couldn’t remember anything … is this a bad start! I couldn’t remember what (*x) in C language meant, is it to convert an integer to char, I wasn’t sure so I left it blank! We were required to design circuits, OK pass on that, I didn’t understand the question aslan! hmmmmm, we’ll get the feedback tomorrow, I’m thinking I’m going to be at the bottom. I’ve no recollection, I do need to refresh but we are going to have introductory courses next week so that’ll help.

We had an option to enroll in C language, isn’t it dead and replaced with C++ with all the object oriented concept from when Java came out ???

They had a health and safety session to familiarize us with all the safety procedures, they are quiet organized, you aren’t allowed to plug in any electronic device, unless it is tested and is safe to use.

One idea about Kuwait they have, is we are sleeping on money beds, seriously we are better off than others, but I for one ain’t sleeping on one, do you know any ??? Most Kuwaiti’s “فخفخة على الفاضي” living from paycheck to paycheck!

On my university email they sent out security alerts, this has been stolen, suspicious person spotted roaming around campus and ran away when security personnel approached him! OK, why do I need to be notified of that!!!

Tomorrow they’ll assign us to our groups YUP we have no say in it, as they say this happens in the real world, most academics have no idea what happens in the real world
