No tour is complete without a picture with the famous NY yellow taxi cabs on your background.
Half of those nights, I've cried myself to sleep.
Thinking.. wondering.. if this is all worth it.
The stress, the loneliness, the chaos, the cold, the big city.
All the excitement for my first international flight and seeing this new world... all gone.
All that's left is confusion.
Good thing is, adjusting is not that difficult after all.
I practically mastered the E, F, R and V subway trains in two days.
I'm still perfectly healthy despite the dramatic change of climate.
Went to Jamaica, NY to get my SS Number all by myself.
Walked around the city with no tour guide. (well, I did the first time. LOL)
Loving the American breakfast meals.
So you see, I'm good.
I love the people here, very contradicting to what I was told to. They're actually very nice and accomodating or they're just probably nice to me because I'm pretty. LOL. I kid! I kid!
And oh the cellphone services are awesome. Free Unlimited calls! And still adjusting on leaving messages on voicemails. I still find it very weird. lols. Exactly why my phone has been my bestfriend since I moved here.
Then this terrible thing happened.
I didn't pass my NPTE, the exam that I'm supposed to take in order for me to be licensed here. It was very difficult. Well I don't want to talk about it because it's just frustrating. Part of it is because I have no one to blame but myself. I never answered a single practice question 15 days prior to the exam. I relied on my notes which evidently did help only a little. I answered the basic Anatomy/Physiology and Neuro, Medical-Surgical and Orthopedic conditions. I had a hard time answering questions that asks for my judgement as a PT or those clinical Decision making questions. All the choices seemed correct. Just failed to pick the best one. But oh well, enough of that.
I'm okay now, as I've said I've got my little band of angels telling me that life goes on and that there's always a second take.
So, I'm flying back to Chicago, where everything seems simpler and greener, and be with my family again. And start all over again.
No, I don't think so. Maybe soon. I'll really learn to love it and embrace it.
