My First Day At The University

A new challenge of my story had began, with it I got in to a new chapter of my story, now I’ll start to face a hard long journey but at the same time I’m happy because I am in the university that I was looking for word to get in to it.

When I knew that Zayd University accepted me, I began to improve my English by reading stories that I download it from the Internet, getting in to English forums and talking to abroad people in the messenger. With that my English got much better. Then I waited for the 4th of September…

In the night before the big day I could not sleep, and I didn’t know why…
My father woke me up in that morning it was 5 am, I had a shower and I prayed…then I ate my breakfast.
It was 5:45 am when I got in to my father’s car… in the way to Dubai my father and I were talking about the university we talked a lot but I don’t know exactly what we were talking about…
We arrived there at 6:30 am it was so early to go there my father laughed at that moment and said if you get in there now they will say that this girl is so excited that she came so early, I laughed with him …so my father took me for a short tour around there, it was quit that morning.
Then at 7 am I was in my university, walking to the room that I will have my first class in it. There I met many girls they were so kind, when I told them that I am form UAQ they become very surprised I did not blame them, because I was coming from a very far place.
At 8 am I met my instructor Sir Gary O’Neill, he is a very kind sir and I understood every word that he said that day… with that I knew that I am not bad at English… at all.
Then it was my first break I went to the cafeteria where I waited for my friend, when she arrived we started talking about our first day and how was it so cool until that moment.
We started walking there, trying to know every single place, the university is much bigger than I thought … but I really liked it.
In my last class sir Gary took us to the library where he asked us to read some stories or books I really liked that idea because reading is one of my favorite hobbies, the first book that I borrow from the library was Brave Heart it was a pretty cool story.
2 pm was the end of my class in my first day, I met my friend at the cafeteria again, we ate our lunch then we stayed there until It was 4:30 pm I went with her to the bus but we separated because I live a little bit farther that UAQ.
I went to the bus, and I met a new friends there one of them her father in a friend to my father, I knew that from her last name.
On the way to my city my Mobil phone did not stop ringing because my grandma was calling me all the time, she was really worried about me….
7 pm I got in to my house… where I found someone waiting for me, she was my grandma… almost crying from happiness when she saw me… I was really tired I just sat at the nearest chair and drunk some water.
After 1 hour my father arrived and asked me about my first day I said, “It was really cool… but I know that it’s just the beginning” he nodded. I saw my brothers but I was not surprised when they did not greet me…. Well they are always like that, actually all the guys are like that; they don’t show their emotions at all.
When It was 9 pm I was in my bed reading the story from the library Brave Heart, it was really cool that I did not want to go sleep without finishing it, but I was sleepy and tired so I decided to finish it in the second day.
I closed my eyes and I slept immediately…after I had unforgettable day… in my long journey…. in my first day at the university.
