the days in richmond are numbered.we will leave to NewYork next this weekend. I am expecting the trip there. but now I think I will miss the life here in Richmond. We cooked ourselves and do our laundry, wake each other up at morning.
in our dorm , the Ukrop's paperbags are everywhere. it 's our first" home" in America. And we really make it as a home. whenever tired adter a long day, the first widh is to go home and stretch lazily and satisfiedly on our bed. chatting at night is our daily routine. I will miss all those when I go back to China.

after the movie , we had a home visit to John's . As his description, it's a modern house from the outside. his brother is 15 , but already a tall boy. there is a garden growing some Asian kinds of vegetables there. we can recognize them ,but their names in English , to some extent , are difficult to call out. honestly, their garden is bigger than Bryan's.
it's quiet inside . because the 13 month -old baby has just fallen into sleep, we 'd better keep quiet and tiptoed in order to not wake it up. We are luck enough to see the baby while sleeping. It's lovely. John's room is being built. I climbed up the ladder to have a look at the project. I can figure out where are the doors , windows and rooms.^^
wish I have chance to see it when finished.^^

I happened to see online that Simpson will be on show on July 27th. I draft down the theaters that have it on show. John said he liked it as well and could drive us there and see it altogether. that is something I expected. Jiang Ming jun was excited because she likes john very much. so , obviously, I , for the movie, Jiang, for John.
But we have already signed the name to park on Sunday. after a hot discussion in our dorm , we decided to quit the park trip. that means we have to pay the $7 for the park even though we do not go.that 's worth!!!! John is easy going. however I still felt nervous . because i am not used to facing foreigners. I become wordless even though I am born talkative. Wuwuwuwuwu~~~ T_T my friends all know my this personality well.
anyway. the movie is good, during the whole movie, could not help laughing all the time. the father is cute , and I bet there could not be such father in reality. the son is funny and naughty. all in all. the whole family is great . the little baby, ^^, is cleaver and naughty. at the very moment, she saved the whole family.
it 's pity that the movie is only of 1hour and 20 mins. so I have not enjoy enough when it comes to the end.
I find the reason why there is no simpson in China. because it 's a little bit violent. and the image the father illustrates is not promoting and encouraging.So..
but I highly recommend this movie to you all.

Cool! we were lucky to be grouped with Brian and went to his cousin's home. He told us it's also the first time for him to go them since they moved. it was a bit far from VCU. As we were driving farther, the dense houses disappeared. More grass and farmland came into view which I think it 's what America should look like before I came here-- a cozy small house , a piece of farmland with ripen fruits and vegetables.
in order to protect privacy, there are thick woods between each houses. Bryans are all very nice , friendly and of hospitality.
the 2 dogs there are cute. the "she" one is over 14 years old. surprising! they have just moved in , everything is not well prepared and finished. but it's ok, still very nice and homy. the 2 boys are a little bit shy at first. they are comletely not the kind that we have seen in American TV series--naughty, rebel...no , not a bit.
the father made Barbiq for us. I love the sausage. they tasted great. the "lunpper" we had that day it 's the best that since I came here. unforgetable!
luckily, their neighbor sent a homemade cookie as a gift for them, We shared it when playing the game named " pictionary" . Ben is very cleaver. He responded almost as soon as the picture draw out.
when we group won, he complaint that he hadn't learned the word" cell ",so.....^^ so cute.
it was late and raining , we had to say goodbye to Bryans.

I did not go to the museum and enjoyed the cocktail party.because the group returned said it's boring to extreme.
I encountered Tiantian when coming back. She asked me whether I 'd like to go shopping. we considered asking an intern to drive us there. Because based on our understanding and the experience told by the students in VCU program last year,interns are supposed to try their best to help us travel the city, the America. So we were sure enough to ask Brian and John . however, we were disappointed by their reply. neither of them would offer a drive. why!?><
the reason did not sound that convincing to me. although we are going to do shopping next week as said on the bluebooklet, this day is different from that day next week. and who knows whether we can make it next week. As the day to Cary Town, a group of people who were playing pin-pong that day did not go there, and they missed the chance to buy something they may want and like to bring back to China.
any way , the days here from now on are numbered.looking forward to NewYork.....=**=

there is a 'big" spider web outside our dorm. horriable!!!!!!!!!!!!( screaming)
I dislike spider, but love the spiderman.
the first day in VCU, I found Mat looks very like the actor of spiderman, especially the eyes. I told it to Anan, but she said no, not a little bit.anyway
nothing comes up in my mind at the moment, maybe because I am still sleepy. T_T
.........see ya later.........
