Long time no blog..

Its been absolutely ages since I last posted something on this blog. Better late than never I guess :)

Since the last time I posted something, alot has happened. I was able to go to China with one of my best friends and experience my culture in a way I would have never done so back in London. The trip was absolutely amazing! If anyone gets the chance you should definately try and apply for the Study China Programme! Loved every minute of it and would do it again if I had the chance. Also at this precise moment I'm blogging from my new home for the year...Indiana. More precise Purdue University.

Unlike the trip to China this one seems more of a personal challenge for me and I hope I can survive the year! I arrived last night and so far I'm really home sick :( 

The flight itself was a challenge with my huge ass hand luggage! So heavy that even now I'm in need of a massage. Weirdly also I had to recheck my luggage in at Boston which was a pain in the royal arse! The first time I have ever had to do such a thing and I still don't understand why. Meh. Anyways, on the flight from Boston to Indianopolis I could not stop crying, the guy sitting next to be must have thought I was a total freek! But luckly enough I managed to get the earlier shuttle to the university and arrived a good two/three hours earlier than planned :)

The room is basic and I prefer Loughborough sooo much more..! Ido miss the comfort of my ensuite and also the noise of Herrick Road and all my house mates. Here it seems far to dead and quiet to be a campus. In fact it doesn't seem like a campus but a little town, I don't even know where the main gates are! I don't think there is any tbh =s 

But anywhoooo I have a year to be here and I'm going to try and make every penny count and stretch! But first make it to xmas....4months and counting until I get to see all those I miss now! xxx

Procrastination comes easy to me....

I finally gained the courage and rode my bike tonight to tescos and what happens, I realise the right break is broken! How I shat myself to pieces. It's hard enough to get my confidence back on a bike i can't sit on properly as its too high but the breaks is just the icing on the cake so to say! Ah but me falling off my bike with my shopping bags in front of the traffic lights with a fast approaching car was the event of the night..funny yet scary....which was not helped by my friend pissing his pants laughing at me!

Right so it is now 01:11 in the morning and I am still up buzzing, but yet not doing my three essays that are due in about a week! The weird and worry thing is that I am not really shitting my panties! So random....

So I was on the phone earlier today, and was asked 'So what motivates you?', my reply was I actually don't know...I truly have no idea to what motivates me to work. I've spent the past week trying to work and failing on numerous occasions. Is it meant to be a long term goal or little mini ones or something completely different? I guess its all personal/individual, but seriously guys if you any suggestions at all let me know, as I am struggling here! I even end up lying on my floor, as nice as it is, I really should work...but what to do? Procrastination comes soo easily to me but why? So unfair, I get frustrated to see how easily people can get down to work and concentrate, but why can't I? I think this is my little goal and challenge, set a target and try and reach it..maybe smaller but more frequent goals like I get to buy this, I get to do this or eat this or even see someone in particular?? Maybe just maybe that will help me work...well here's me hoping!

Why not try something new?

Hi guys,

As you can see I am new to this and a new member to this site...so please bear with me...

I've always wanted to start a blog, but never really got around to it or well have to guts to if I am entirely honest! After have a mahoosive conversation with a close friend, I've finally taken action and created this account and this blog...=) 

I guess I should introduce myself, My name is Melissa Wong or as my blog shows Mi Mi Wong, aged 19 and currently studying English & History (joint honours) at Loughborough University...Yes I totally know I'm going against the sterotypical Oriental route of maths/business/medicine etc...but you know its good to break the mould! (trust me my father is not too pleased with this choice but what can I do?) But yeah, so i'm about 5ft tall, yes quite small well actually very small but it makes me who I am today! I have to admit, its taken me a while to accept this and still havin trouble but who doesn't now and again question the way they look? :S

Tbh, I have no idea what to write in this blog, but i hope and guess it will come with time. For those of you who actually read this could give me some suggestions...otherwise I might just go off on a tangent and well talk about random crap lol....but I guess the main reason for a blog is to let loose, get things off your mind and so forth..I have to admit it is quite helpful in that respect!

I think I shall leave it there for today, otherwise it will turn into an essay (something that I should really be doing right now but cba and have no motivation to start!)   

Lots of Love
