My name is May Oo Tha, but you can call me May Oo. Yes, it seems slightly awkward, but it sounds just like how it spells. I'm a freshman at Trinity University and a very excited one that is. I'm from Yangon, Burma. For those of you who have no clue of where that place is (and I totally understand and forgive you), it is in Southeast Asia, surrounded by India, China, Thailand and Bangladesh. I grew up there all my life, so I was brought up in a strikingly different culture. Apart from some remaining bits of culture shock, I'm totally thrilled and happy to be here. Like seriously.
My interests are music (listening, playing guitar and singing), watching movies till I get sick of them, surfing the net (mostly, looking at wikis about random stuff), facebooking, travelling, reading, Glee, hanging out with friends and just singing out loud with them and making harmony! As for my major, I would say Communication is the potential one, and possibly Spanish as a minor. I'm not sure what I want to do in the not-so-long future, but I'd really like to do something with media (film and music). I haven't been putting my head around campus activities since I was battling with Huma last semester, but this time, I'm definitely going to. I want to join TUVAC and get an internship in Trinitonian and Tiger TV.
The interesting fact about me is that I graduated from a class of 7 seniors! I came from such a small school that I know every single face in the school. Also, I can speak four languages: Burmese, English, Spanish and Chinese, even though I admit, my mandarin Chinese is fading because I haven't had any practice ever since I came here. I have to get back on it! As for my computer skills level, I have some knowledge of Photoshop and Word, but none for the rest. I learned some of Excel during middle school, well, only a little. So what can I say? I'm not "tech-savvy". However, I'm pretty excited to be in this class; I have a very good feeling. Creating my own blogs and websites is very cool and will be pretty fun! That is it for now. You'll see me in my later blogs. =) Oh and please feel free to email me at: mtha@trinity.edu.

awesome background - my sister is on TigerTV and she loves it, you should definitely try it out.
ReplyDeleteI think it is incredibly amazing that you can speak four languages! Also, I would love to hear more about your culture and how it is different from what you have experienced here.
