This post is an entry of mine to the initiative organized by @theycallmedan. If you want to take part or learn more about this initiative, you can read the full post here. I would like to encourage all of my friends in hive to fully participate in this initiative. The initiative is not just getting a reward for yourself, there are lot more advantages you can get by partaking in this initiative. You can demonstrate your writing skills or maybe improve a lot or get to learn new things as there are people from diverse fields and other countries and their stories might be new, interesting and exciting to you. I bet most of you are staying at home during the corona virus pandemic for your own protection. So why not utilize some of our leisure time we have by participating in this contest. I had already read many of the other users post on the same here in Hive and was intrigued after hearing their awesome plan soon after the panic of corona virus terminates. I would like to express my gratitude to @theycallmedan for coming with up another initiative and giving us an opportunity to participate in this contest.
So, What Will I Do When Corona Virus Ends?
The corona virus disease, also known as COVID-19, which has become a global pandemic has made countries and people around the globe enter a difficult times. Lot of the people now are having a desire of when the corona virus fear will actually come to an end. I have a hope that it might take a little time to go through this plague and thereafter our life would be normal just like before the pandemic. And we should be hopeful about it. The following are mine first three priorities activities that I would crave for after the pandemic come to an ends.
1. Proceed Forward My Application Process for Pursuing Master's Degree in Computer Science in Abroad
Actually this was in my top priority list before the pandemic. I was about to start my application process for admission into USA and Canada Universities. Canada was on my second list after USA. I enlisted 5 universities in USA to apply for admission which are:
- Oklahoma State University, Stillwater
- University of Memphis, Tennessee
- Bowling Green State University, Ohio
- Texas State University, San Marcos
- West Virginia University, Morgantown
I recently got graduated in December 2019. Then, I had my application for Master Program in Computer Science with specialization in Software Engineering halted because I was planning to apply for Fall 2020 but due to the job contract which I had to finish by March 2020, I couldn't apply for Fall and is now planning to apply for Winter 2020. Since USA is hard hit by corona virus, I hope situation goes better there after some months and I would bring forth my application process to get admission in my favorite universities. There are lot of documents to be prepared to apply for admission. If I don't get scholarship, admission or maybe VISA, then I am planning to go for Canada. Canada has also the world's best universities to pursue higher level education. I had already given my GRE exam which I scored 312 out of 340 and TOEFL exam which I scored 102 out of 120. Below is a screenshot of my GRE exam score.
As I want to build a successful career in my field of expertise, fulfilling the dream of getting to study in those universities is in my top priority list and I really am looking forward to proceed further for the same.
2. It's Been More Than 1.5 Years Since I haven't Met My Long Distance Love
After I had my job contract finished on March, I was planning to go on vacation to my Girlfriend's hometown. But I was unlucky this time. There was a fear of lockdown going on everywhere in Nepal due to corona virus because of Nepal being neighbour to China. So with a view of avoiding a risk of being in lockdown, I intended not to visit her. And luckily after 3 days,the government imposed lockdown and banned long route vehicles running more than 260 kilometer. The last time I met her was on November 25, 2018. Meeting her is not that much easy. I don't have any relatives or friends in her town which is Dharan, sub-metropolitan city in Sunsari District of Nepal. I had to stay in hotel alone myself and if I was there during the lockdown, I wouldn't have got bus to come to my hometown later, no enough money to sustain myself living there in hotel. So after life is back to normal, I would go visit her and this is my second priority in the list. Some of my photos with her from my last visit during November 2018.
I really wanted to hug her on my next date and tell her how much I have missed her during the past years. Also, I wanted to visit the above hill station (Vedetar) once again because I had a memory full of romanticism at this place when I first met her on this location 6 years before. She was a local of that town and I was on vacation to that place with my friends. Fell in love, that's a long story ahead. I would someday share it in my blog here. This place is so amazing with its unpredictable weather- sometimes fog cover the entire hill suddenly and then disappears suddenly. Actually we are planning to get married this year. And I wish the virus goes away from our life and the world very soon so that I can marry the love of my life.
3. Meet My Friends At Pub and Have A Drinking Party
This is the third thing that I would like to do after corona virus fear ends. It's been more than 2 weeks since I have last met my friends. As I am an extreme beer and whisky lover, I never have them without my friends by my side. I usually have party with them at pub, restaurant during weekends and even at home when parents are not there because we have very conservative family where drinking is strictly prohibited. So we prefer to drink outside or when no one is around in home. The main reason why I love to drink with them is that it helps to strengthen our friendship bond and increase social network if we drank with our friends at pub or hotels. I feel great satisfaction having my friends accompanying me in drinking. You know its one of a great positive social habit.
So this is basically what I want to do after the global pandemic ends soon and I wish it to stop as soon as possible. The best way to stop this starts from within ourselves. Lets not gather around a crowd and we should try to maintain social distance and good personal hygiene. Obey your government order and stay safe everyone. Bye!
