Back From Cambodia!- Time to Study :)

 

 Hey all!!

So I'm back from my Cambodia trip. It was AMAZING. Like i said before, I highly encourage anyone who is going to school in South East Asia to do as much traveling as you can. Not only is it super cheap, but it's always fun exploring other parts of the world with friends that you make here. Obviously, keep your studies in order though (so turn in any assisgnments that may be due early if you have to, bring books and study while you're traveling as well). 

While there, we were traveling non stop. On the first day, we arrived in Phnom Penh Airport and arrived at the same time as our President, Barack Obama! We were able to get a semi good picture of AF1.

day after day, we would wake up early to go do hikes, watch the sunset, see the ankor watt temples, and even the temple where the shot Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie

If you have the chance to go, I would highly suggest it!!

So now back to Singapore. Right now, its the exam period. Which is pretty much the last 2 weeks of the semester (right after reading week). Most business courses are tested during the 2nd week of the exam period from what I hear, so this first week is a good time to get a little more study time in if you need it. Just like our finals week, there are no regularly scheduled classes and only final exams are given. I was extremely lucky this semester and I only have 1 final exam which is on December 4. All of my other exams were given before reading week took place.

Heads up for good study places
- ERC (Education Resource Center) which i mentioned in a previous post...it's located in U-Town which is most likely where you will be living.
- Business Library- Perfect place to study if you want dead silence
- Study Lounges in your hall- So this is more of a "social" study place. A lot of my friends will meet in the lounge, talk, study, mess around on facebook (the typical college study routine) good place if you don't need to cram for an exam.


Getting Ready to Go home!
So when I first came to Singapore, I didn't think that 4 months would be enough time to enjoy the country. But then you realize once you are getting towards the end of the semester how much you actually miss being home...but at the same time, you don't even want to leave Singapore! It's a little bit of mixed emotions especially when your friends start flying back home, or going on trips and you are all going your separate ways.

I fly home on December 10, so about 13 days from now...it definitely feels weird to be coming home so soon, it's like the time just flew by. But I know this is definitely an experience I will never forget and I've made some amazing friends here who I will be talking to years from now.


Hope all of this helps!! Looking forward to maybe meeting some of you guys who read this when I get back to Hawaii.

ALOHA!!!
