Back China!

I am now sitting in front of my laptop and I just recovered from jetlag.
We back China safely and all of us are missing all of you so much! Let's keep in touch!
I think VCU summer program is not a mouth-long program but a life-long progra. We had so many great recollections which we can cheer one up whenever we pick'em up from memory, and we meet so many people that may be our true friend.
Best wishes to everyone~ And I will do my best to collect as many as photos or videos from everybody and complete a album about our terrific summer.

Day 22, New York--Exploring Manhattan

When we got to the New York, we started our tour without a stop.
I was impressed by myself cos my talent in exploring a new area was totally inspired by the city. I even explored almost half of Manhattan without a map. And I was excited by my dreamland--New York Exchange and Wall Street.

Just feel sadness before leaving GRC

I know,
The farewell is near
And so I face
The final curtain.
My friends
I will say it clear
And state my course
Which I am certain
I've lived
A summer that is full
I've trvelled each
And every footway
And more
Much more than this
I achieved my way

Regrets,
I had a few
And then again
Too few to mention
I did
What I want to do
Though I saw with through
Without exemption
I tried to plan
Each chartered course
Each meaningful step
And more
Much more than this
I achieved it my way

Day 19,VCU-- Paper work accomplished

Revision Workshop.
Paper work.
Shrek Third.

A plain day...

Those words just flooded into my brain, and I spend only one afternoon to finish my papaer, which made me feel uncertainty about the quality. Any way, thanks for Danielle who babysitted my outline, and I should appreciate for her great job.

What’s the most impressive thing, we found several goldmines of books in the city near the Monticello. We stepped into some bookstores and then we soon found that those stores are in a fine arty-crafty atmosphere, and those used books are really really sale in attractive prices! Many of us were having a big smile when we took back bags fulfilled with book. BFSUers always addicted in looking for great books~ Here I wanna show my appreciation to my professor, Ms. Zhang, she gave me several treasurable suggestions on how to picking up good book. We also had a nice talk with an owner of a bookstore~
