Shunaqib, o'sha 'afsonaviy' Walmart ga bordik. Lekin shopping qiganimas, vaccina ogani bordik
😂️
️️️️️. Hich o'ylamagandim walmartda vaccine olaman dib. Hullas, walmartdi ichida aptekasi bor ekan, va o'sha joyni o'zida ukol qilib qoyarkan. Aytgancha, amerika universitetlariga kelekkonizda sizdan majburiy vaccinalar so'raydi, lekin agar hammasini o'zimizda olalmasaiz, shekka keb osaiz bo'larkan. Bitta vaccine lekin $200+ turar ekan, hudoga shukur sug'urta qoplab berdi. Bo'masa bankrot bo'ladi odam. Ko'pchilik AQSH dagi sog'liq sistemasi haqida eshitgan bo'sa kerak o'zi.
Taxi temasiham. Betta Uber yoki Lyft ishlatishadikan, lekin narxlar juda qimmat o'zimizga solishtirganda. 15minlik yo'lga 18$ atrofi (Toshkentda 2-3$ bo'lardi). Hullas taxi betta "дорогое удовольствие."
Campus ovqati. Eng qiynalekkon joyim shu bo'sa kerak. O'zbekistonda eng mazzali, zo'r ovqatlardi mazza qib yeb yurgandim. Betta bo'sa ovqatlar unchalik shirin emas. Lekin narsalar ko'p, coffeelar, sandwichlar, shirinlikalr, yogurt, etc hammasi bor. Bizdi univerdi muammosi Halol mol go'shti yoq ekan. Umuman oganda yaxshi, lekin shu har kuni tovuq yeyorib ko'ynim aynib ketdi. Lekin hozir shu muammoni yechishga Muslim Student Association harakat qilyapti. Ko'ramiz endi.
Conn College bookstore da huddi hamma boshqa unilarga o'shxab merch sotadi. Normalniy overpricedku, nu mayli. A tak assortimentdi chotki qip qoyishipti.
Shunaqa qilib, hamma studentlar keldi va umumiy orientation boshlanib ketti. Har-hil ice-breakerlar, activitylar qilidik. And, bizdi univerdi maskoti tuya, ismi Humphrey. So random mascot ahah. We love it tho.
Nimagadur, o'zimga juda ko'p "huddi kinoga tushib qogandeyman" deb aytyappan hozirgacha.

Turkish Airlines bilan uchgandim, okay ekan. Yo'l bo'yi Dune ni ko'rib keldim. Endi sekin sekin keyingi qismlariniyam ko'rvolishim kerak.
Aeroportdanoq 'American' vibe sezildi. O'sha sariq board. Lekin, Amerikada hamma narsa ham o'zimizga o'xshab digitalized emas ekan. Ko'p narsalar "ishlayaptimi, tegma" prinsipi bo'yicha ishlaydi. Kuni kecha poezga bilet ogan bitta app skachat qigandim, huddi 50-yillarda yasalagan appga oxshaydi (zamonaviylariham bor, hammasi bunaqa mas lekin). Hullas, digitalized bo'masayam, o'zini vibe bor.
Kelishimiz bilan, Targetga borib shopping qip keldik. Yotgani to'shak yoqakan betta, shunga qanaqadur machalka olishga majbur boldim ehh.. Menimcha O'zbekistonda bunaqa supermarket yo'q, ichida oziq ovqatdan tortib dori darmon va mebellargacha bor.
Xonamdi endi kegandagi rasmi. Men bu yil triple da turippan (2ta xonadoshim bor). I hate it uh, sharing my room with anyone, but fine they are americans, so cultural exchange ig.
Men ulardan 2 kun oldin keldim chunki bizda international orientation bor edi. College da odam kam, atiga 2,000 ta student. Har kuni birxil odamlardi ko'ryappan, boshqa katta public unilarda 30mingtalab odam bor. Shunaqa qilib international orientatda odamlar bilan tanishdim, qonun qoida diganlaridey. Pokistonlik bollar ko'pakan bu yil, lekin hammasi private school larda o'qiganakan. So'rasam, 5ta A-level topshiribti (o'zimizda prezident maktabida 3ta topshirishadi). Men bo'sa tem boleyee oddiy maktabda o'qib keganman. Hullas atrofdagi bollar aqqli, realno bilinadi. Shundayam, ular qanaqadir superman diganimas. O'sha katta joylarda o'qib ishlekkon yoki erishib qoygan bollaram oddiy odam, bizdan uncha farqi yo'q. Bemalol compete qib, harakat qisa yutib chiqsa bo'ladi.

Some photos of my college from the first day I came here.
Our campus is beautiful. There are no very high buildings, but everything is enough and nice. Compared to Uzbekistan's unis, it is way bigger. We have these stone buildings from 1911 (the year when it was founded). Squirrels are apparently in every campus in the US; we have got a lot of them too.
We have a field called Silfen, which is literally like a professional stadium field in Uzbekistan. College sports in the US are taken so seriously, unimaginable for Uzbekistan universities.
Since Connecticut College is located in New London (it is a really small city tho, I would love to live in a big city), we have a waterfront - an access to the water. You can literally exit to Atlantic Ocean. Weather is really humid, but I did not really feel it much. The air is very fresh. Apparently, we have our rowing that practices in the Thames River.
Last photo is from a pond from our 300-hectare Arboretum, which is our private forest and it even has an island, but I will make some posts about it later.

It has been 2 months since I came to the US
, and I could not post at all. It is mostly because I did not really have free time as I focused on experiencing this moment myself live, but I will try to make some posts now.
I flew down to JFK Airport but did not go to the New York City itself. I took the college shuttle and came to directly to Conn College.
Honestly, these roads look exactly like in the movies. Yellow lines, big trucks, high-elevated pickups like Ford F150, and miles instead of km. I also for the first time saw that Chevrolet makes cars that we do not have in Uzbekistan.
I was so tired when I came though, for I flew to Istanbul then NYC, and I slept like a baby on a hard college matress.

Why no one told me that I have to study in college?!
