The Change of my Surroundings

I think the first year of my university life passed too fast. To tell the truth , I can't go along with the change of my surroundings.
Firstly, last year, I thought it is not before long to go abroad to study. However, recently, there are a lot of explanatory meetings. I recognize that it is drawing near every time I attend the meeting. I have to study more hardly and prepare for studying abroad.
Secondly, Compared with last year, there are too many people at the building for students who major in International Study. It is strange for me because last year, there are a few people at there and almost all of people I met there are my friends.
I want to get used to the change of my surroundings as soon as possible.
