"It's the beginning of the end..."

2009年6月4日星期四

I guess i havent talked about this...since it's almost the end of my sojourn here, let me do a brief conclusion.

Ten Reasons why I chose to come to Seattle:
1) Because the name sounds romantic, so are the songs singing about it. Oh yea the movie Sleepless in Seattle too...makes you wonder whether you'll find 'magic' here.
2) Because it is in the USA, and I want to experience the US.
3) Because UW is not that high ranking in term of law sch, so I thought i dont have to struggle with the grad school work load (that is totally wrong.)
4) because the photos of Seattle, especially UW (on flickr) looked damn nice, especially those of the Suzallo library and the cherry blossoms in Spring. (at least this turns out true)
5)Because there is only one exchange vacancy - means I don't have to tag along someone from Singapore all the time.
6) Because this city is booming with nature - especially the waters like the lakes and seas surrounding the city. I need to live somewhere next to a sea/lake usually. And on clear days you can always see the snow-capped mountains far away (this i only realized when i got here).
7) because I thought the temperature is mild - not that cold in winter and not that hot in summer. (this is totally WRONG! too)
8) Because I wanna experience the west coast hippy care-free good-for-retirement culture here..
9) Because I like the rain (yes i mean it...)
10) Because...I just wanna get away from my comfort zone...to somewhere far far away for a year...
