Brooklyn Bridge


I waited almost one hour for taking this picture. Last time when I took this view, I didn't have my tripod. Thus, the picture was not so nice. Today I brought my tripod for taking the night scenery. When I was taking the pictures, a security guard prevented me from using the tripod. I don't know why the tripod is banned. When I tried to shoot a picture of Lincoln Center, I got the same message as well. Maybe they thought my camera was a weapon! Anyway, I took this picture with my tripod when the guard was absent. ^_^Y

Installation Art - LOVE


I ran into this installation last spring. At that time, I didn't have my camera with me, so I couldn't take a picutre. When I planed my weekend schedule, I included it on the list. This picture is really good because no one standing in front of it, but the only fly in the ointment was the litter!

Grand Central Terminal


The busiest terminal in NYC. GCT is like a shopping mall. The wings have restaurants; the lower level has food court, and many stores are around the terminal. The first railroad was founded in 1831, which means this terminal is 175 years old.

Juilliard School


Needless to say, Juilliard School is a famous school in Fine Art. Fine Art! Oh! please don't ask me anything about art. I have no notion of it; I have no talent of it. All I know is that this school is very good in art.

Madison Square Garden


Although New York Knicks have Lerry Brown to be their coach in this season, I can't see any chance for them to go to the final. I was planing to see one game in Madison Square Garden. Nevertheless, the ticket price was too high for me to reach it. I hope they can do well, so I can be proud of them. By the way, I was really sad when Yankees failed to go to the final because Chien-Ming Wang lost his chance to show up in the final. It hardly to believe the most expensive team among the MLB couldn't win the title.

The library of Colombia University


Colombia University is top 10 school in the U.S., and its tuition is also in the top 10, I believe. For real, the architectural style of the bulidings in the university is special. Compare to my university, this is much much better than my building campus. Campus with only buildings is the great disappointment for me, for I like to walk around the campus, not taking the elevators. Of course, other campuses of my school have lawns and beautiful buildings as well. Since I chose to live in the city, I don't have anything to complain. I can see Brooklyn Bridge whenever I go to school, and I think it's good because many of you desire to see it, don't you?

The library of St. John's University


As you can see, St. John's University is a Catholic university. Since I did't have a storm card, studend ID, I was unable to visit the library. However, there are something more interesting than this library. You might check out my photo album website to figure out what I said. You will absolutely be shocked!

The Dormitory of St.John's University


When I visited St. John's University, I felt as if I were in the University of Idaho. This dorm is very like LLC, the dorm of U of I. Even though U of I has nothing except the grassland, I still cherish the memory of living there.

After Midterm

Upset is the word that express my feeling of the midterm. When I handed in my exam book, I thought the exam finished me; not I finished it. Everything I studied, I answered; everything I didn't study, I answered as well, but I didn't know what I was writing. I was really down and disappointed with myself while I was on the way to home. Nevertheless, this evening, when I talked to my classmates, most fellows didn't answer those three questions well. Suddenly I felt a little bit better. However, their answers are better than mine, I think. Whenever I submit my homework, I always expect my the grades appear soon, but I don't want my midterm grade show up on the grade page because I don't think I will get A.

Before Midterm

This September I achieved one of my dreams - American academic life. Tomorrow is my first midterm in American. If I say I am not nervous, I am a liar. However, I have been preparing for it. I believe I can do well on tomorrow's exam. The temperature has been dropping gradually. Leaves also have been changing their colors quitely. Last Saturday when I went shoppoing, I suddenly realized winter is coming. Time flies! It has been one and half month since I came back. I have been plannig to do something, but there is always something out of my order. I believe someday I will succeed!

Tea Time


I'd been working on my assignments for two days before I have time to take afternoon tea. For a person like me, I think nothing is better than having a leisurely break.

Home-made noodles


When I finished cooking, I suddenly felt this noodles was just like the one I could buy in a noodles restaurant. I start wondering I'm a student or a cook. How do you feel about this noodles, give me some comments!
