No many Friends at CESL, but Having One is Great!!!

I am divided about telling my experiences at CESL and the people I have met. It is like so, I have just met them, but I have not experienced some kind of friendship. This is due to the amount of tasks I have been enrolled. So far I have been so busy that my time has also become too short. However, I have just gotten the chance to meet one friend who has been so helpful since I got here the first day. He has given me a lot help by showing me how to use programs in my computer, signing in Facebook and other websites that I need for my paper work. My friend has been very handy. I remember the third day I was here, I was scheduled to perform a IBT test in Carterville. It was Saturday, February 17th. And I missed a ride someone offered to give me, because I woke up late that day. I ran down to find a taxi, I did not have a cell phone, I look around in panic and any taxi passed by, I was hoping and praying to get one. Few minutes later, I remembered that this friend (God always bless him) offered me help at anytime so I went knocking on his door, by 7:45am, he immediately attended me and we started calling for a taxi ride. This was a very stressful moment. But what a relieved by having this friend that mornin. After thinking about this bad moment I also started thinking about how much important has been to meet an angel, because I consider this friend an angel. That was a very important test for me that I would have not been able to perform without his help. So as time has passed by, I still talk to my new wise friend, not too frequently because he is busy with his girlfriend and classes at CESL but we have started having such a great friendship along with our talks, when we sometimes go shopping or we walk from the university. Unfortunately, my friend will leave soon to his country, and of course I will miss him a lot. But through this writing I want to tell him thank you buddy for everything. On the other hand, as this program, at CESL, has kept us so busy it is hard to tell that we can get more friends but it is really worthy to have at least one, and for life time. Moreover, I am so happy to be part of the CESL alumni because in my personal opinion we do have good teachers. I like the way they teach classes. Besides I admire them because of the time they take by preparing classes and checking the amount of assignments we get every day. This performance from them has just committed me to respond with the best achievement. I have really learned a lot of new things. So in general the experience has been great but just from the academic part because I have not even pictures to show here due to my lack of time to share with others. It is not sad, I will get some when I get the chance.
