Although I complained all the time, I still persisted in taking an active part in this summer program. Maybe I have several reasons for this strange phenomenon, For one thing, I really have a good time here, and I just prefer to express my content mood to others. For another thing, only trying to enjoy the things can really bring enjoys to yourself. So I have tried my best to perform very well in it. No matter for what reason, I would like to express my feeling that missing here in a special way. </span><br /><br /><span style="color:#00cccc;"><strong>And</strong> it is no wonder that I do not want want to leave here tomorrow.I imagined that I have a time machine, and I would rather to get another opportunity to be a buckeye here, I won't be regretful anyway. But in fact that there is no choice for us!<br />Tonight the sweet people who are the very ones to us are Big Mike, Handsome Pete, Awesome Hans and Beauty Minger prepared a special party for us to see us off leave for Washington DC. Many respected guests all came there. Some of them always provide help to us, and some of them concentrate on our visit all the time, or some of them invite us to their home to enjoy ourselves. Still I should say thank you! </span><br /><br /><span style="color:#00cccc;"><strong>During</strong> the party I feel happy, but I feel grieved that I have to leave. But I have determined to pursue my deeper education here if I can. And OSU, you just wait for me, I will come back tow years later.I will try to become a real buckeye.</span>Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17750602870500718777noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-138410126608576068.post-38080543706503182902010-07-28T23:42:00.000-07:002010-07-28T23:54:10.961-07:00Never Say Goodbye<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwl57Y63pgesUYeNM3HQM1GzB7GbbkGZNZkM8R6pkL9-cTNLvrd7IttM7dzNvEhcmYBpcsbrst1YSuzn6hkZovz94ZeSLd7BSLolZsXvVkp7awLZY58W2hR2eSpYQJOIgFr1qIAfRCmwhT/s1600/IMG_1064.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499217817195590290" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwl57Y63pgesUYeNM3HQM1GzB7GbbkGZNZkM8R6pkL9-cTNLvrd7IttM7dzNvEhcmYBpcsbrst1YSuzn6hkZovz94ZeSLd7BSLolZsXvVkp7awLZY58W2hR2eSpYQJOIgFr1qIAfRCmwhT/s320/IMG_1064.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>There are many moments to remember during last two weeks, I will cherish these memories all my life.<br />Yesterday, Pete took us to do rock climbing. I never do rock climbing before. so I feel a little nervous about this dangerous game. But when I began to climb, I found it is not as difficult as I thought , I climbed very fast and I reached the top easily. Pete said to me loudly“hey Rachel, you like a monkey!”,I felt so happy. I really enjoy rock climbing which is challenging and exciting. I think this is a sport for me.<br />The day before yesterday, we went to Mike’s house which is amazing and full of fantastic. I can’t believe Mike built this building just by himself. Then we watched a baseball game. I love baseball game. But I only can play waffle ball, I like the feeling that be a batter. I think baseball is a great sport, it is also a symbol of American culture. We can know the way Americans live through this sport.<br />I love OSU, in this beautiful area, I own great memory which I will keep in my heart for a life-long time. I love every teacher who come down with us these days, at the same time, I hold the belief that the friends we make here are also my most precious possession. I wish we can gether together forever—never say goodbye!</div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08370033024050398196noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-138410126608576068.post-29383981866925214502010-07-28T23:22:00.000-07:002010-07-28T23:24:41.228-07:00Art in My EyesWhen the topic refer to art, I have strong feelings to express. I find art has already become a important part of life at the time I look back the road I have gone through.<br />My mother is a professional lute(琵琶) player. She was chosen to the art school at the age of then. Even thought she didn’t take it as her occupation, she is enthusiastic to music. So I was forced to take many art classes like dancing and playing piano since I was three years old. My feeling to art is complex and changeable. Once upon a time, I hate dance. I thought dancing classes was painful and boring. But my mom insisted the typical Chinese way to educate, so I kept learning dancing reluctantly until I began to win some dancing competitions and eventually was admitted to CODDC(china opera dance-drama centre). As the time gone by, I find I gain great confident from dancing and I don’t hate it any more. On the contrary, I begin to appreciate I have this experience now. In fact learning dancing teach me many things which can influent my whole life. The first important thing is I know how to face failures. I understand only through sadness and sorrows could a man be strong enough to face all ills of life. When face with difficulties, just have another try, we will succeed by perseverance.<br />I must to say I love art especially the Chinese cultural art. In my eyes Chinese culture art is amazing. It is also a symbol of Chinese spirit. For example the fantastic Chinese traditional instrument, they are so different from those in western countries. Like the lute, which just has four strings, but we can use it to play splendid songs. In addition, urbeen(二胡) is also just a two-stringed bowed instrument, but I think everyone who listen to the song like Fishermen’s song at Eventide(二泉映月) will be deeply moved. I think all of these instruments are magical, they reflect the intelligence of Chinese people.Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08370033024050398196noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-138410126608576068.post-65001457446497003462010-07-28T22:36:00.000-07:002010-07-28T22:53:45.085-07:00I don't wanna leave !It's sad to leave.<br /> This place gave me so much happiness that I will remember it in all my life time...<br /> It's late and I'm tired.

Tonight, there will be a farewell party awaits us. But now, everyone is busy meeting the professors, they are in every corner of the campus, eagerly to seek the future opportunities. This reminds me we're from different parts of Wuhan University, we have our own life style, our own considerations, our own friends. The trip to go to America brings us together. It's really hard to forget the days we are together, how sad we'll be when we can't go back to the days we are all here.<br />This trip is very much like our university life. We live happily in our first 3 years together, and the fourth year comes, we are preparing our graduate life in various ways, just like the afternoon right now, we are seperated into different small groups. And tonight, is our graduation farewell party, after that ,we'll have a graduation trip, and then, we will graduate.<br />But I will always remember you all, and I will also watching your real graduation in Wuhan, as I'm a freshman, it's my fate to see all of my friends here going out of school earlier than me. At that time, Kelly, George and me will miss all of you so much. But my dear friends, graduation is a whole starting point, for most of you, we will meet again in America, may be in OSU here.<br />But tonight, let's just enjoy the party freely.Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12541845162967549560noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-138410126608576068.post-14977995283123428542010-07-28T09:25:00.000-07:002010-07-28T10:00:04.391-07:00soTime flies,today is our last day staying in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">OSU</span>.

We are fanatic for Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, surely for our own hero Yao Ming. However, as a matter of fact, basketball is not that popular in America. Instead, Americans love baseball! At first, I couldn't understand the reason why Americans like a seeming boring game, without much body contact and fierce competition, until I finally got some information about the culture and history of American baseball game.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I</span> think baseball is a mirror of America and it reflects its spirit and culture. For one thing, there's so much pressure in Americans' life, and they need a kind of sports to let off steam and get some rest. Baseball is such a game, not much physical activities, not much special equipments and specific fields, and it's suitable for both boys and girls. Another thing that impresses me a lot is that in baseball rules, everyone has equal chance to hit the ball. No matter how skillful you are, you have to strike in a certain sequence. This rule represents Americans' spirit of equality. Finally, when we pay attention to the players of baseball game, it is not difficult to find that people with different races were accepted and even became successful through baseball game, say, Joe DiMaggio Italian, Hank Greenberg Jewish and Jackie Robinson African American. All these people, regardless of their races, became famous and realized their American dream through baseball games.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">T</span>o sum up, I think basketball seems to be more interesting and exciting than baseball, however, if you want to know more about American culture and spirit and to think in an American way, it is necessary to learn baseball, since it is a game that every American knows well and most Americans are fond of.Roberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11868562075909446270noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-138410126608576068.post-80385483429542171822010-07-27T22:40:00.000-07:002010-07-28T19:36:05.876-07:00Hey Jude<strong><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dweYByPl0teGo80fD8_VvWqRv9vaEm6x3akSyyTMkZhyktTFbDndawSzQi828IncJTcY6K73CKrQmqpb6r3zg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></strong><br /><strong>IT</strong> is time to say goodbye to my friends in OSU. These days, we had a BBQ together, we learnt to play wiffle ball together, we talked about literature, environmental protection, US history, geography and art, we had fun in the big zoo, we were invited to a party at Jim's house and another party at Mike's house, we watched a baseball game in a huge baseball stadium, we learnt the black people's culture, we had seen the struggle for freedom by visiting a museum, we were excited to see that Peter got a home run in the wiffle ball game and achieved victory, we met so many "giving power" things, and now we are going to leave OSU....<br /><br /><strong>I </strong>feel sad and a little down. I love OSU, and the friends in this beautiful campus. Maybe a sad old song could tell my feelings.<br /><br />Hey Jude, don't make it bad.<br /><br />Take a sad song and make it better.<br /><br />Remember to let her into your heart,<br /><br />Then you can start to make it better.<br /><br />Hey Jude, don't be afraid.<br /><br />You were made to go out and get her.<br /><br />The minute you let her under your skin,<br /><br />Then you begin to make it better.<br /><br />And anytime you feel the pain,<br /><br />hey Jude, refrain,<br /><br />Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.<br /><br />For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool<br /><br />By making his world a little colder.<br /><br />Hey Jude, don't let me down.<br /><br />You have found her, now go and get her.<br /><br />Remember to let her into your heart,<br /><br />Then you can start to make it better.<br /><br />So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,<br /><br />You're waiting for someone to perform with.<br /><br />And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do,<br /><br />The movement you need is on your shoulder.<br /><br />Hey Jude, don't make it bad.<br /><br />Take a sad song and make it better.<br /><br />Remember to let her under your skin,<br /><br />Then you'll begin to make it better<br /><br />Better better better better better better, Oh.<br /><br />Na na na, na na na na, na na na....<br /><br /><strong>MIKE</strong> has said an O--H...<br /><br />——<br /><br /><strong>I--O</strong>!!!<br /><br /><strong>WHEN</strong> we cannot change anything, the only thing we can do is do not forget.——<strong><em>Ashes of time.</em></strong> Thanks for the memery of OSU.

The visit to the "underground railroad freedom center"in Cincinate was really impressive for me, since this experience provided a much more direct feeling for me than any other types of chanals. And today, we had a chance to learn more about quilting as a kind of art. Maybe racial discrimination was or even is a problem in American society, but I believe that the situation is getting better for black people and equilty will belong to all races. <br />I found a poem of Shel Silverstein last night. It is called <em>NO DIFFERENCE</em><br /><br /><strong>Small as a peanut, big as a giant,<br />We are all the same size, when you turn off the light.<br /><br />Rich as a sultan, or poor as a mite,<br />we all worth the same, when we turn off the light.<br /><br />Red,black or orange, yellow or white,<br />we all look the same, when we turn off the light.<br /><br />So maybe the way to make everything right, <br />Is for God to just reach out...<br />And turn off the light.</strong><br /><br /><br />PS, as North Common is the dinning hall that we have most of our meal in, I feel greatly reluctant to leave it. So this afternoon, I spent a lot of time in it and tried to enjoy everything there. The following pictures are "artworks" of George and me.<br /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="288" height="192" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2F114759987722484155589%2Falbumid%2F5498733734006107793%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Den_US" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>Beth(wang qing)http://www.blogger.com/profile/11999091700962311811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-138410126608576068.post-90966792715800224352010-07-27T18:30:00.000-07:002010-07-27T18:55:46.126-07:00Class VisitToday is a big day for me, for which I observed a class in the Hagerty Hall. It was really an unforgetable experience to see so many non-Chinese learning Japanese.<br />Actually at first, sweet Sussie took us three to Professor Noda's office, and we had a nice talk with Professor Mari Noda, who is really a nice and elegant woman,mainly about the graduate programe here in Ohio State. We can tell she's really the person that has a natural enthusiastic for language, for life. Language people always have an appealling to people that they're full of hope for the world. And they are always friendly and nice to the others,willing to offer help at any time. That's also an vital reason that I like languages, you are supposed to find the connections between humans, you are supposed to be optimistic to your future.<br />This afternoon, there are 2 teachers' training classes for graduate students, one for Chinese and the other for Japanese. So I stayed in the Japanese classroom. Actually I didn't understand many of the Mrs.Noda's introduction about me. So I just kept smilling and said hello to all of the students.<br />The class went on by one graduate student to be a teacher, while all of the students sitting be students. Role play is the dominant way to keep the class going. Actually their levels are much highter than me although I can understant most of what they are talking about.<br />And after about 30 minutes, Mrs.Noda and the real teacher in the classroom gave some suggestions and dicussed the "teacher"'s performance with students.I truely think it's an awesome class.Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12541845162967549560noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-138410126608576068.post-35001905947878343542010-07-26T21:35:00.000-07:002010-07-26T21:37:47.724-07:00I Love It ~~~Even though my hair is short and I’m outgoing just like a tomboy. I really don’t like sports. Because I hate sweating. Whenever I sweats, I don’t want to do anything except change my clothes and take a shower. So when Pete told us that we would have a class about how to play baseball, I couldn’t heighten my interest in this class. After being taught the rule of baseball, my only feeling was “OK. It’s a sport. It’s just a sport. Nothing serious”<br />When we arrived at the stadium where we would see a game of baseball, I still kept complaining “why must we expose under the blistering sun. It’s so hot here. I don’t want to watch this game. It must be boring.” Then I went to a shady place with two girls and just ignored this game. However, when I went back to my seat and got down to watch it. I found that it’s really fun. It’s not as boring as I thought. I even cheered with other people for our team. In fact, I found that baseball is different from other sports. When we see soccer and basketball, we keep feeling nervous and keep aggressiveness in the whole game. As a contrast, we have more time to relax during a baseball game, and we can also drink beer and talk with our friends. I think this why I become interested in baseball.Keirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02029175210161587742noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-138410126608576068.post-54780952189766134082010-07-26T21:12:00.000-07:002010-07-26T21:31:05.679-07:00the permanence of act is set against the ravage of time<strong> From my perspective,</strong> the value of art is beyond utilitarian function. I remember an artist said: the higher value of art work , the meaning of it more non-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">existente</span>. Art is the lust of inner world. The purpose of fine art is rooted not in catering to the public taste or getting recognition but in expressing visceral emotion and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">exhibitting</span> deep inside. In this way, i want to talk about the spiritual influence of art on our society.<br /> <strong> To begin with</strong>, some classical art works deliver perpetual beauty and humanity, which moisture our heart like spring shower and brighten our future like light house. For example, Van <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Gogh</span>’s most famous still life, Sunflowers exhibits the eternal love to the life and promotes the thoughts about life and death; Jules Verne’s famous novel, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea shows the original desire to travel space, air, underwater and everywhere human want to travel and helps us to fancy what the scene of the future of world looks like; Beethoven’s famous symphony, symphony NO.5 “destiny” deliver a spirit and eternal theme about facing frustration and fight the destiny for one’s dream and hope, thus convulsing the whole world with this spirit and humanity.<br /> <strong> Additionally</strong>, since the social reality is an important source of creativity and imagination upon which artists depend to complete their original works, arts is a mirror of society hidden ideas and impulses in some cases. In the realm of literature, authors often present vivid scenes and shape various characters, the scenes and characters which are abstracted from observation and experience in the society. An apt example can illustrate this point is about Shakespeare. In his famous tragedies---Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth, he <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">strived</span> to shape some characters who woke up from the ignorance and tried to get rid of the shackle of medieval but could not overcome the limitation of their times. He profoundly revealed the dark side of society and the people's strong desire to fight against the fate and harsh environment.<br /> <strong> Besides</strong>, through studying the splendid history of art, we can lift our spirit level and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">aesthetic</span> conception. History tells us that the immortal value of the art, which would not fade away as time goes by, lies in its intrinsic property which reflects the artist's true emotion, splendid imagination and their eternal pursuit of beautiful things. In the process of exploring the immortal value of art, we may find that we are more and more sensitive about the outside world and everything in our eyes becomes bright and unique. As a consequence, we get closer to our inner spirit and feel the outside world more beautiful.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-138410126608576068.post-67748444703227527202010-07-26T20:26:00.000-07:002010-07-27T16:35:06.444-07:00Okay, time always goes on.

However, it exactly happen 'cause I am too enjoyable to record the life here, it's amazing, you will never know what is like if you do not come to here and the blog cannot tell a whole picture about the Ohio State University, the camps, the view, the zoo, the museum, the people, the food, the dorm, the air, the sprite, the baseball, the class, which are all fabulous, unforgettable, nice and cozy...<br /><br />Well, almost everyone in our group is grew up in urban place of China, but I really think as a city to live in, Columbus is the very place I like a lot, fresh air, green cover, large farm, smooth road make me forget that iron city. However, as a Chinese student, what I should do is to bring some ideas about how to build up a society similarly back to my hometown, no matter how long it will pass on, my idea of city picture will stand at the view of Columbus.<br /><br />Love Columbus, thank you, guys, sincerely.Vincenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08357616388131081126noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-138410126608576068.post-44851679435423164572010-07-26T19:34:00.000-07:002010-07-26T20:34:20.494-07:00A wonderful dayIt's my first time to watch a baseball game in the field,it's PAW vs COL.As a buckeye now,I support for the COL.So,during the game,when COL scores,I feel happy,when PAW scores,I feel nervous.It's so interesting. before we leavethe field to our dormitory,all audiences sang the Take Me Out to the Ball Game together,which we learned in Pete's class this morning.A very fomous song,and very easy to learn.<br />This afternoon, we played wiffle ball again.I must to say I love this game.Pete told me I was a good batter,Pete never lie.<br />Will baseball be popular in China?I do not think so.But I hope one day,I will paly wiffle ball with my friends in China, then I can prove that I'm a good batter.Leonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07280060202368039879noreply@blogger.com1
