Fact: I Hate Asking For Help.



Yes, the above title is true. Asking for help, along with apologizing, are the two things I would rather die than do. However, since my fiery persona only exists online, I find myself committing both sins often. Too often for my liking.
Back to the topic at hand, I'm starting university in the fall and will be spending copious amounts of time around people....people that I don't understand. The thing is growing up in Canada taught me many things, but it didn't teach me some essential skills for life here. I can't speak "Kuwaiti" that well, and my grasp of this dialect is as weak Ke$ha singing live (Still love her though). Add that to my completely oblivious nature in regards to social protocol, and you have an outcast in the making. All jokes aside. I turn to you, my loyal followers and always welcome guests, for some social advice in regards as to what I can be doing to decrease the awkward factor as I transition into life as a disciple of the beast that is KU.

I will be extending this notion into a blogging series, where as I go through my days as a Freshman I'll be blogging about my experiences and seeking help from you, my cyberspace friends. I'm actually growing excited at the concept of starting out on the next part of my young life.

Shuddering at the thought,

"A" Is For Apple...



"The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet."
Aristotle

The passing of every minute continues to betray my cool demeanor. I find myself continually stealing a glance at the clock every few seconds to reaffirm what I already know: my graduation ceremony is in about 6 hours. Granted, I have to be there a bit earlier to partake in a last minute rehearsal, but I still have time to calm my nauseated stomach.
I don't really have much to say about graduating, because it hasn't really sunk in yet, but when it does I'll be sure to report back with how it feels to know that never again will I have to put my head on the desk as a form of discipline. I'm 18, almost free and about to embark on the next stage of my life. Until then, I'll be watching YouTube videos and snacking on summer fruits. And you know what? This apple I'm eating really does taste sweeter.

Wish me luck,

S.
