My trip to the States - Part I

Everybody dreams when s/he wants to go to a trip and I am not an exceptional. I had planned to stay with my friends for a week and God knows how much I had thought about every detail of the trip even about the probable conversations that might occur :)) What's happening most of the time, when you are so expecting an event, is that as time arrives, you see it was not as fantastic as you imagined and just get pissed off. Ahha, that wasn't my case though. :)
After a sleepless night my sister took me to the airport early morning. I had only 2 hours flight to the destination, but I went 4 hours earlier to the airport because the US console is located in Toronto airport and I knew the interview might take long. My aunt had missed her flight only because she was traveling with a few other foreigners who also needed to be interviewed. My flight was at 1pm and I was there at 9 am.
I had made up my face; I wanted to look pretty because I thought maybe, 10%, the mysterious guy come along with Y to collect me at the airport. The interview with US custom took 45 minutes and they only didn't ask if I had gone to toilet that morning or not; otherwise they asked everything. At 10 am, I was in the waiting room envying people who had laptop because there was wireless connection in the airport. As I was getting closer to the departure, I was getting more excited. The time that I was expecting for months is coming closer. Finally, at 12:30, they announced that the flight is canceled because of the bad weather condition. There is no flight for today; the first flight is tomorrow morning. There we go; nice spring is a sign of a good coming year.
Airport is an hour far away from Kitchener; I know my sister had a talk tomorrow morning. I thought of going back by bus without calling her but I just had too much luggage; I could not move. I have a cousin in Toronto but I didn't want to call her. Her baby was sick and also her house was located right on the other side of the Toronto. I sat in there for a while and finally I called my sister because I knew she is gonna call my friends in the States to see if I've arrived. She said she is gonna pick me up and she has checked the weather and tomorrow is gonna be storm as well. I got so disappointed.

Two keys on my key chain

A month has passed since the day I left St.john's and it felt like a year for me. I made the big decision and I finally followed my heart and interest for the first time in my life. I quit the doctorate program and came down in Louisiana to experience a totally different life.
There was this job opportunity that I had talked about before. They accepted me quickly not only as an employee but as a member of their family. It is a small company designing mostly tug boats and I believe working here is a challenging job and I am going to learn a lot in a short time because there are not so many people here and one person does all the parts of one project so I am gonna learn not only the structure but also piping, machinery, construction, hull design and so on. I can confidently say I love to work with them. If I'll be able to secure working Visa here in states, I will stay.
I am now happy with the situation but I must say that the city sucks. Here is a small ugly dead city. Without car, you are helpless. The distances are far and no public transportation whatsoever. You never see a walking person, even in the street intersections there is no light for pedestrian. No road for bikes and people drive very careless to the bikers. There is no school in the city that's why I think it is city for old people. Not many young people around. No activity is going on in the city and it is just so boring. I don't believe if I can eventually find any friend here. It is so hard to make contact out of school; absolutely no way to meet people. I don't know maybe I am too much disappointed. I can't even find a dancing class.
Anyways, I must not be negative. The weather is gorgeous here though, just the way I love. Cloudy warm with everyday summer rain which cools down the evening. They say in the August, it is gonna be intolerable but I don't believe. I am Booshehr's girl though.
Working hours is 7 in the morning till 5 pm. I am serious; my friend told me welcome to the United States when I said it surprisingly.
Good news is I bought a Laptop and that's what I wanted so badly for two years but I couldn't figure enough reasoning to buy one. I named it "My buddy".

The two keys are for my home and my bike :D

Fishing

I'm gone fishing
I got me a line
Nothing I do is gonna make the difference
So I'm taking the time
And you ain't never gonna be happy
Anyhow, anyway
So I'm gone fishing
And I'm going today
I'm gone fishing
Sounds crazy I know
I know nothing about fishing
But just watch me go
And when my time has come
I will look back and see
Peace on the shoreline
That could have been me
You can waste a whole lifetime
Trying to be
What you think is expected of you
But you'll never be free
May as well go fishing
(Chris Rea)

I will write this weekend; I have a lot to say. Just check out my node in your blogs; you'll be surprised about where I am now.
