Thanksgiving Day

It’s 5 days Thanksgiving vocation. Almost all American students left last night. It’s vocation that for family and a lot of food…ha…poor turkeys. The campus is so quiet as summer when I arrived New Paltz. I love it. The weather is cold now. The highest temperature is 0°C, and the lowest is -3°C, ha, it’s the coldest time in my life. I’m really looking forward to see snow. Come on…Snow…Should I do praying dancing for snow?
.
It’s a really vocation for me. I took a new TOEFL test last Friday. Yes, that’s the new one, with speaking test. Finally, I can take a rest, listen some music, do some painting and…you know, relax. The new TOFEL test was more interesting than CBT test, but the 4-hour test still exhausted me. I think I can get high grade in listening and maybe writing, but I have no idea about speaking. It was the first time for me. Reading was difficult...I think I don’t have enough vocabulary, and my speed of reading is still too slow. Hopefully I can pass the minimum required score 550…anyway, I’ll get my grade two weeks later.
.
I’ll go to Boston again from 25th to 27th with a Japanese girl and a Korean girl. It’s the third time for me to go to Boston. I like this city, but also I really want to experience how it’s felt like that traveling in winter, and in snow, just like a poor traveler :) Three of us are from different countries, speak different languages. It must have a lot of fun.

I did four little painting last night. I’ll show you later. I love painting. Ha…

白鳥是初 / 敻虹
而不退潮的念在
島,你雕像的四周昇起
而距離是隻太長的手臂
撒下網,網住一九五七
我們的初遇
.
那無窮白正成熟着完美
豐盈着生命。從南方的晨裏走來
一棵小草,在足邊
(而許多小草也是如此的)
為它的未定的方向顫慄
所以神,我選擇了你
從南方的晨
.
永恆必要地存在
在極地的白裏
而雕刀說
用你堅定的立姿
紀念那藏放我的柔弱的心--

this is my little New Paltz

The weather today was so good, so I brough my camera with me to after the morning class. As you can see...I took a lot photos while I was walking around the campus and walking on the street. These photos are not pretty good, I know. However this is the place that I am staying now. A little and friendly town in Hudson Valley.
