Welcome week

I just arrived here three days ago. My flight was arrived at the airport 10pm, so I worried if I can get in my room safely. But Aston aunties helped me and I am very appreciate to them.
Some people said immigration officers are very strict and it takes long time. However it was so simple, she just asked me few things; which university are you studying? what is your CAS number? Theses are all conversation between us.

This weekend, the weather is veryyy blessed. Ah, even it was a little bit rainy at night, it is okay. This sunny weather is unusual in UK, so I have to enjoy this day.

Yesterday, I went to welcome party at SU. Actually, it was held on Saturday as well, I was too tired to go there. But I fell regret to miss that.  I can make many new friends there. The most interesting thing was some students know Korean song, 'Gannam Style'. I heard it is very popular in the world but it is first time I really recognise.

Today, I have enrollment appointment. After that, I am really Aston student. I feel afraid a little bit about my coursework and also expected about my future.

Hope good luck with all our future!

Great news from Aston!

After I got an offer from Aston, I searched various kinds of scholarship of university. There was a scholarship which is perfect for me, Su Yeon Scholarship for South Korean students. Su Yeon graduated from ABS and now she is one of famous CEO and English lecturer in Korea, and she gives scholarship to Korean students who will study at Aston university.
To apply this, I have to write an essay and I completed it two month ago. I was not confident about that and there was no reply until end of August so I thought I didn't award it. However, today, I suddenly received an email that notice I award Su Yeon scholarship.
It is the greatest news among emails I received recently. There are no words to explain my feeling now. Even there are several duties for student but I am sure those are great experience for me.

It is just one week left to go Birmingham, I really expect what is waiting for me.
I can't wait!
