Life in US

You wanna know what the last one year has done to me,

I wake up on my own
I sleep late
I wake up late, sometimes early as well
I sleep less
I eat cereals for breakfast
I carry lunch box
I cook for myself
I walk to school and everywhere else
I walk alone
I smile at people on the way
I am addressed by "what's up"
I too address people by the same
I do not know answer for myself
I drink coffee with cream
I drink tea without milk
I count money in dollars
I earn for myself
I think twice before I spend
I work overnight sometimes
I work hard, sometimes harder
I play racket ball instead of cricket
I attend potluck
I like Mexican food
I feel like drinking on Fridays
I play poker
I use toilet paper and not water
I attend school with shorts
I see distance in miles
I tell my weight in pounds
I drive on the right side of the road
I have a laptop
I have a credit card
I have a debit card
I do not have a bike to roam
I do not look at Indian gals .. lol

If I do all that I said, its needless to say
I am in United States

Its one year since I came to United States and every change in me is been positive till date, corrupt in some stuff though (it happens man), but as a whole if you see I am more self-reliant and hardworking than I was in India and I am definitely happy about it.
