First Day on Campus

            
           It was my first day on campus. The winona State University of Minnesota, a small but neat and clean school. I flew a long way from Bangladesh to be here. The whole place looks white from the plane as it was covered with snow. I knew from my brother that it's very cold in Minnesota as it is on the north. So i covered myself with warm clothes.

            I was nervous to be in a new place, but kind of curious too. A Bangladeshi student of WSU came to pick me up. I found myself in a new world, new people.

            It's impossible now express that feelings in words here. But i can tell you my experiences. I felt little comfortable when i saw some Bangladeshi student in the orientation. They were the representative of Bangladeshi student organization. I met students from different country, like China, Japan, Africa, Iraq. I met one guy from Palestine. Time were moving with joy, I met a beautiful girl from South America who was really a nice person.

            We got a launch break. First time in my life i got the opportunity to taste American food which looks nice but didn't fulfill my appetite as i love rice and curry. But i know i have to depend on this foods. After launch we were taken to visit the campus. Our group leader took us to different buildings and explained clearly. By this time i made some friends who are from Malaysia. I was enjoying every minute. We were also taken to a building to take pictures for our school I.D. I asked my group leader who was a Bangladeshi to take me to my dorm (Hostel). I was kind of scared first as my roommate is an American. But when i met Riley (My roommate) i felt like he is one of us.

            The sun went to bed soon and i felt tired as i walked a long way in the snow and it's freezing outside. I prepared my mind for the next day as i have to go to my first class at 8:30 in the morning. So time to go to bed.
