last day of classes and activities at VCU

Well basically speaking,today is the last "school day" at VCU. This morning,we had the final writing workshop class.Hurray! I managed to work out a paper last night though I really didn't do much research and most of the paper is based on my own insights and experience.I'm glad that I have finished the assignment on time and I'm really content with the fact that I'm not procrastinating too much this time and I'm not really very concerned about the quality of my paper.It turned out this morning that our intern Mathew said it was good.Maybe the simplicity of my paper appeals to him,but of course I know there are loopholes and problems with my work.LOL
This afternoon we went canoing. It was great though the sun was glaring and we felt really HOT! We covered 4 miles of distance which is a really long distance! Most girls felt exhausted after the canoing,but I felt okay except that my arm muscle feels a bit sore.Haha canoing really builds the character!!! Now I feel less guilty for eating so many pizzas and hamburgers(ironically my paper was about how fast food is destroying the world! I just can't resist the temptation myself cuz I can't always stick to the same food all the time!!!)
Back in the dormitory, we took a shower and me and Liu Jia immediately set out to have our dinner at Elephant Thai,a lovely Thai restaurant near our dormitory building.We really enjoyed ourselves very much,but it was the last time that we have dined at Elephant Thai! We ordered same dishes and beverage: Pad Thai chicken and Thai Iced Coffee.It cost us a small fortune, but this is such a sweet memory!
Hmm there's nothing to report for today.The last thing I'm gonna say is that I'm using Facebook now,it's a cool program.I have already had 6 friends on Facebook!
That's all for today,time to start reading Harry Potter!Cheers!

last day at VCU

Last night I ended up reading Harry Potter till very late at night and I had a dream about Harry Potter,his buddies and Lord Voldemort.I can't believe I actually dreamt of them and the dream was full of thrills!
This morning I woke up at 11 am!OMG I'm soooo lazy! Then I picked up the Harry Potter again,but couldn't manage to read it because I just kept talking to my dormates and the guests visiting our dormitory. Then we set out for Maymont Park which is not very far from the VCU campus.The park is very large but we could only visit part of it.It is really awfully hot today! We visited the main house in the park which is donated by its previous owner after his decease.We also visited the Japanese garden and the waterfall. The park is indeed very beautiful and it's like a royal palace in Europe,but we didn't see the bears as we expected.Nevertheless we had an enjoyable excursion on the last day at VCU!
Tomorrow we shall leave for New York! It suddenly reminds me of a song from Madonna called "I love New York:.It sings:" I don't like cities,but I love New York.Other places make me feel like a dork.Los Angels is for people who sleep. Paris and London, baby you can't keep ...other cities always make me mad,other places always make me sad,except New York....."I'm not sure if it's oxymoron or Madonna is truly in love with New York.New York really sounds like a magical city and I'm already looking forward to our arrival in New York after 10 hours of grueling bus ride.
That's all for this entry! XXX
