MY DIARIES

DIARY 1

Dear diary,

I have arrived at America yesterday evening. Today is the first day I living in college.

There are not many students on campus. However, the people I have met are very nice. They helped me with my luggages and introduced the campus to me. Especially Professor Pat who not only picked me up at the airport, but also took care of us on campus. He is a very kind and friendly person.

The school is very beautiful. Outside the dormitory are the green grass and some tall trees. There are some famous buildings on campus. One is the church which Winston Churchill have had a speech. It is said that the church was moved from England by each single brick and tile. A bell tower is on the church ringing every hour. At that moment, the ring reverberating in the sky can be heard in the whole campus. The world became salience and only could be heard the ring.

Another is the six-big-pillars. It is said that every student will walk through the pillars when they first enter the Westminster College and walk out in the other side when graduation. It is a very interesting custom.

It is my first time live abroad by myself and I do not know what kind of life would be in the future. Perhaps I will meet a lot of difficulties had not experienced before. However, no matter what will happen, I am yearning for the future. I believe that everything will be fine.

DIARY 2

Dear diary,

It is snowing today. It is the first snow after I came to the United States. In order to make video call with my parents, I got up early this morning. When I opened the door, I could see nothing but white. The whole campus turned white. It liked a beautiful white world.

I have been here, the United States, for 119 days. Before I came here, I have heard that there is a lot of snow here. I especially like winter, because of the snow. Therefore, I had been looking forward to snow for a long time. God has heard my wishes.

It was still snowing. I stretched my hand to catch a snowflake. It was ice. Suddenly, I became happy. In fact, being here for one semester, many things have happened, both good and bad things. For a time, I totally did not know how to keep going. I was felt that the world did not love me anymore, and how could I love the world. During that time, I did not go outside my room instead of having classes every day. But my rational told me that I could not be depressed. Therefore, I began to look forward to snow.

In my mind, the snow is the purest thing in the world. Snow is like a cleaner that clears away all dirty things in the world by using pure white snow. When it is snowing, it is like the initial of the world that every bad thing disappears at that moment.

Finally, it snowed today. All the bad things have gone. I am going to keep going and filling in love with my life. Thanks God.
