3rd Day - busy

Two lectures, one writing workshop and the tour to Walmart and Short Pump crammed in one day. I can’t imagine a same busy day as today.

During the lessons, I try hard to grab every word form the professor. The morning lecture was mostly understandable to me, but the one in the afternoon really challenged my listing and vocabulary. It depressed me at first with long period of confusion but I gradually follow up the pace. The professor used a lot of big words I never knew, somehow I was a little bit discouraged.

The writing workshop turned out to be a great fun, with everyone painting the wall and ideas popping up here and there. I have never done such kind of activity back in China. It helps to gather ideas and encourages thinking a lot. The three instructors are cute! I look forward to meeting them again soon.

Getting the VCU Card is another tough process, which took a long time. However, seeing my smiling face a the Card rewarded me with great pleasure. I lately found out that I was wearing the same T-shirt as I wore when taking my Fudan Card. What a coincidence!

About the trip to Waltmall and Short Pump, just too many things to see. Two hours seems like a flash of time and we had to skip our dinner to save more time for window shopping.

Now I am sitting in front of the computer, terribly tired but totally happy. What’s going to happen tomorrow? I just can’t wait!

HI Alice,
I'm so glad that you enjoyed your time yesterday. I know it was a busy day for you all but I hope you like it.
We will have more time to go to Shop Pump so you don't have to worry so much about not having enough time to shop. We will make couple more trips to Wal-Mart and Shop Pump, so do not worry.
Enjoy your time here
