SHARE a POEM

Dance like nobody is watching.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Sing like nobody is listening.
Work like you don't need money.
Live like it's heaven on earth.


For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin , real life.
But, there was always some obsacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinnished business, time still to be served or a debt to be paid.
Then life would begin.
At last it dawned on me that there is no way to happiness.
Happiness is the way.
So treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you share it with someone special, someone special enough to spend your time with.
Make the most of your time.
Don’t waste too much of your time studying, working, or stressing about something that seems important.
Do what you want to do to be happy but also do what you can to make the people you care about happy.
Remember that time waits for no one.
So stop waiting until you take your last test, until you finnish school, until you go back to school, until you have the perfect body, the perfect car, or whatever other perfect thing you desire.
Stop waiting until the weekend, when you can party or let loose, until summer, spring, fall or winter, until you find the right person and get married, until you die, until your born again, to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

So work like you don’t need the money,
Love like you have never been hurt, and dance like no one’s watching.
Happiness Is A Journey!

Back from Monticello

Thomas Jefferson was a GENIUS.

As the third president of the United States, he was more than a Politician. He designed and planed the University of Virginia, and he built his own private library, which was the largest one at that time.

Everywhere in his house, the decoration showed his respect to the former presidents.

Thomas Jefferson was a man of many interests.
I have heard of many stories about him.
While serving as the American minister to France in the 1780s, he developed quite a taste for European cooking. When he returned to the U.S. from France, he brought with him a French cook and many recipes from France and Italy. One of the Italian foods he ate was pasta.

Some of Jefferson's favorite dishes to serve guests included macaroni, macaroons peach flambé (flaming peaches), and ice cream!
While in France, Jefferson collected many French recipes for things such as sauces fruit tarts, french fries, blood sausages, pigs' feet, rabbit, and pigeon. One of the recipes he brought home has since become an American favorite: vanilla ice cream. This was one of the most popular dishes at his home in Monticello, and this recipe was written by Jefferson himself.

Jefferson had to have a nice place to invite his friends and serve them delicious food.
Monticello means little mountain. The house included a series of rooms where he entertained guests.

Some of his public rooms displayed things he had collected: Native American artifacts, fossils discovered by Lewis and Clark, and images of people he admired.

PAPER is coming

AGAIN~
Headache again!

Though the liabrary here is very convenient, and the liabrarian is very very nice, have a paper to write is not easy job at all!!

Anyway, i will try my best to finish the work!
Though my major is LAW, i decide to write something on the intl relations.
Law and Politics are close related. To some extent, law can be regarded as a tool serve for the politics. What's more? The law or to say rules establish by the governments cant be put into practice without the governmengts' force.

Busch Garden

After a long bus trip which departed from the GRC, we arrived the Busch Garden, which we were looking forward to for a really long time.
Through the bus window, we were already able to see many exciting things.

Much more than we expect, the Garden combine the natural beauty and the high technology.

DarkKastle: The high tech made the things(also danger there) so realistic. Plus the strong air condition there also made us feel more frighted.

The Big Bad Wolf: From afar, the Big Bad Wolf wriggled across the road. After a long long line, we finally got on it. The speed make us funky.

Besides, the Alpengeist, Apollo's Chariot, and so on gave us a really unforgetable experience!

Colonial Williamsburg

In Williamsburg, I really find myself on a movie set!
SEEMS that i suddenly fell into some old movie scenes.

The Coffeehouse Backyard, the Milliner & Tailor, the Printing Office & Post Office, the Shoemaker, the Blacksmith Shop and so on...

Step into every house, listening to the explaination of usage of everything, it is just so fantastic!

The US people protect the history in a very special way . Recur !
History is not boring as we expected. Actually, it can be vivid!!

@@@Virginia is for lovers^_^

On our bus trip, u see see such banner everuwhere in the town "Virginia is for lovers".
Luckily i got a key ring as a souvenir of Virginia. It also writes the same words.

I cant agree more.
Especially after the trip to the VA BEACH!

The scenery there is sososo beautiful.
SMELL --- the sea breeze
FELL --- the smooth sand
TASTE --- the salty water
and watch the sea bird run riot...

The life there is very comfortable. You can lie on the sand beach, just enjoying the sun bathe....
