Thank you very much, all the interns!
Thank you very much for sacrificing your spare time to arrange activities for us.
Thank you very much for driving us from here to there.
Thank you very much for accompanying with us till now (although there are several days left, i wanna say "Thank you" now.)
Thanks VCU for giving me such a good chance to know more about the US.
This Friday is the deadline for our paper and till now i still have a draft of the outline.
Yup, you can say, "hey, what a lazy guy!" But actually, I think, as i have no more time to pay attention to the paper, I am enjoying every munite here, in VCU, in Richmond, in US. I just wanna experience American typical life, I don't wanna waste every minute.
on the other hand, the course of finishing paper is also a style of the life, a study life. Yesterday, i spent a few hours in the VCU library. Quiet and comfortable. With the rythm of the rain, read some books, browse some websites and listen to the music. That's the life.
As the deadline approaches, the day we leave VCU, Richmond and US is coming. Now, the time we live in VCU are less and less, only 2 days left. Just like the booklet mentioned, RE-ENTRY PHASE occurs. Well, just take the advantage to enjoy the life in VCU.
I am keen to go to New York! I wanna visit Broadway, I wanna go to the Wall Street, and of course I wanna see the Statue of Liberty.
But it seems that we will take an eight-hour bus! God! Thus, we would spend 2 days on the road. Well, squeeze the time to rush from here to there in the city.
That's great to enjoy swimming in the MCV swimming pool every free afternoon:)
Since last week, some friends and I keep swimming if you have the free afternoon. It is free for VCU students and you can also be free to borrow a lock to keep your clothes safe.The pool is not big but the water is high quality. And the deepest place in the pool is just 5 feet. Quite safe for me as I am still unfamiliar with swimming.
The equipment in the pool is quite good. Last time, i found there was a swimsuit water extractor machine to help you make the suit a bit dry to carry.
If you wanna go there, take No. 84 school bus, whose termination is just before the library. Pay attention, the number is 84.
Hey guys, take care of your CREDIT CARD!
Today, some of us had the lunch in Caffe Italia. But later, when we received the message from the bank in China, we were surprised to notice that the fee of our lunch was more than we had signed, at least 10 dollars.
Now, we are dealing with this problem.
Crazy! Guys, pay more attention to using your credit card in US!
Yesterday was the day of Home visit. When I heard that we had the arrangement to have a home visit, I was a bit worried, as I had no any experience, This was my first time. I just thought whether they were easy to communicate with?
In the afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Nichols, with their three daughters, came to GRC to pick us up. That, in Chinese, we use "red-carpet reception" to describe it. Mr. and Mrs. Nichols were quite nice and friendly. Their daughters, two were a bit young and shy to talk with us at first, and the eldest daughter was a smart girl.
They offered us a mini golf game as the first activity in that day and entertained us with delicious ice cream. It was my first time to play mini golf, which was a good game for a whole family to play, I thought. After that, they invited us to visit their house. Wow, when we arrived, we were amazed at what we had seen. Their house was pretty good and had a beautiful swimming pool nearby. And the most surprising matter for us was that their house was surrounded by many trees. Actually, they built their house in a small forest, which was seldom to see in China. I loved it very much:)
In their house, we swam in the pool, enjoyed the sunlight and fresh air, enjoyed the singing of the birds, played with balls and played some American games in the house. Dinner tasted very well,hehe. I liked the roast chicken with BBQ saurce and salad very much,hehe.
That was an unforgettable day.
