time flies

How time flies!
We have already been here for 3 weeks. And it's the last day we spent in Richmond. Tomorrow we will leave for NY. I am excited for the depart and have packed up! But I feel a little gloomy inside. I suddenly felt I could not tear myself from this City. The beautiful memory it left to me is so special. The nice interns and the kind professors as well as the helpful peers. They are always with me and beside me. Thank you to all.
Now, my roommates are busy packing up. And one of my friends is waiting to upload her photos. So I have to stop here. It's the end of this entry and maybe it is the end of my blog. But the memory will last for ever.

Canoe under the sun

Canoeing on James River is the most romantic thing I can think of before I actually came here. I am always dreaming of canoeing under the bright stary night and enjoy the beautiful senery along James River. Today my dream came true. But we did not canoe under the star but under the sun. It is too hot and tiring. And until today, I didn't know that actually canoeing is so physically demanding. We canoed four miles. At the very begining, I felt very exciting. We chatted and laughed. But after a while, I felt too tired. it was hot but the experience is so treasureable and unforgettable.

gaining weight

"Do as the romans do. Gain weight as the Americans do."
This is the sentence I had always used to comfort myself since I came here.
But I have to say that food here are really rich in fat. And it is really easy for us to gain weight.
I love ice cream. I love to enjoy my ice cream at midnight in front of TV.And recently I am crazy about the ice cream here. It is comparatively cheaper than that in China. And it is really tasty.Undoubtedly , I had a lot ice cream and sweet food. What worries me is my weight. How can I not gain weight while enjoying the delicious ice cream? Doing exercises? No. I would rather choose the balanced way of life. And the balanced way of life is to have one cake in each hand.Hahaaaaaaaaaa.....

sleepy

These days, I always have the problem of getting into asleep at night. But during the day time, when I was attending the lecture, I could not help getting aspleep. So, I think the perfect lectures here are good sleeping pills for me. I wish the professors would not be mad at what I've said.And hopefully I can get a sound sleep tonight and take some notes during the lecture.
