I went to Harvard for a damn student forum.
I dreamed of arriving in America thousands of times except by means of this forum.
Sincerely speaking, although i had lowed down my standard about the forum before i went there, it let me down a lot.Compared to my previous exchange experience, this program was really a mess. Fuck Chinese Harvard students!
Some of these staffs told me it's just part of their several part-time jobs. So i gather that they might just wanna polish their resume (so do I.) ...
Anyway, when it comes to what impressed me a lot during the conference, i wanna list three things.
To begin with, the people sitting next to me on the flight. Our ticket was rather cheap, which meant we had to translate six times in all!! Nevertheless, during each time, I'm lucky enough to sit next to foreigners! So, i seized the chance to talk with them. They taught me a lot!! From business concept to interview skill, from management to science. Indeed, it amplified the value of my ticket.
Second, the Harvard museums. I spent two days visiting 3 Harvard museums, i mean, i watched every section very carefully. Science attracted me a lot!! I am moved by the aesthetic beauty of nature as well as the sophisticated personal relationship we inherited from nature.
Last but not least, the attitude to people. I'm impressed by U.S. way of making friends. They r sincere, casual and respectable. Letting alone the foreigners i met on flight (some of them r high-level managers, but they treated me very nice, or overnice. -grins-), Harvard students r rather hospitality.
e.g. the last morning in Harvard, i got up very early to catch the flight, so i went to the dining hall to take some photos. All of a sudden, a boy said to me behind, 'would u like to drink xxx with us?" can i? he invited me to join their discussing group. I couldn't help going with him. Actually, they majored in CS. O.o But they talked with me a lot. That's wonderful!
All in all, it made clear that i indeed had a good beginning & ending in U.S. except the middle period. In this sense, i strongly suggest those Chinese studying in U.S treat their compatriots nice. U know, they always wanna ask our side to offer best students, but look at what they do... Shame on them.
In addition, this trip alarmed me to practice English more and stimulated me to be part of Harvard students in the near future! & i wanna be immersed in that atmosphere.
Btw, what surprised me a lot lies in that Americans used to staying up very late.
Every morning, i mean, 5 or 4, i saw Harvard students working in the dining hall, or just coming back from the lab....It seems that they work harder than Chinese.: ) Deeply moved by them!
