I think I'm a little bit down these days.
I didn't talk a lot.I just prefer to sit there and doing nothing now.
Why people are always asking me "How are you doing?""How is the day?"and sort of this questions.I'm just wondering why?
Do they think that they ask me and I will tell them my true feeling?Am I going to tell them the truth that I'm really upset now?I don't think so.
If I tell them my real feeling,they must ask me why.Why?Why??WHY????
I hate this so much.Why?
JUST STOP ASKING ME WHY!!!!!!!
Why is the ending always like this?Why cannot my dreams come true?Why the one get hurt is me?
I don't know!!!!!
JUST STOP……Please……Don't ever ask me how I am doing……I'm……I'm upset.

I went to the ywca's CIT today.
Actually,I think it's pretty much boring than the Camp Discovery's LIT.
In LIT,there were only about 7 people.But in CIT there are three times as much as the number of the members in LIT.
And there are 5 groups.Each group has 4-5 CITs.And the thing we need to do is to look after those kids for the whole day.I spent a really boring morning near the small lake watching those kids playing water for 3 hours!!!Yes!!3hours!!!I just did nothing in those 3 hours!!!!That's so terrible!!
In the afternoon,there were Archery,Art and Craft,Science and Nature,and sports.I STILL DID NOTHING.In the Sports class,I just sat on beside watching those boys playing basketball.In the Science and Nature,I just sat on the rock watching those kids working in the stream catching fish.In the Archery,I just sat on the bench watching a really creepy person doing many creepy things.Like smelling girls hair,hugging girls,saying he loves one girls,singing weird songs.OMG,I really hate this.How come??
Let's draw into an conclusion.So actually I did nothing meaningful throughout the whole day besides reading a few pages of Angels & Demons.
Today has been a really nasty day ever since I came to USA.I was really freaking out of the activities and some of those weird people.
Well,I still need to meet them tomorrow.Hope it will be better.LOL

“Sooner or later that spark just disappears,outta nowhere outta nowhere."
I'm now crazy for this song by Pitbull.Since I've come to USA,I can go on the Youtube to listen to more songs.I'm really fond of English songs.Whatever the songs in the past or popular right now.The tune of the songs are really my cups of tea such as Love Somebody by Maroon 5,Outta Nowhere by Pitbull,Mirror by Justin Timberlake,Just give me a reason by Pink and many other popular songs.
We supposed to go to the Safari today with my relatives.But when we got there,the staff told us we needed to get the whole tickets for Six Flags.(Six Flags has many part like water park and safari.)The ticket is about $50.So we decided go shopping instead of going to the Safari.
I bought several sports clothes and shoes for my daily running.I begun to run for half an hour everyday since this Tuesday.I think this will help me keep fit and healthy.Although it's really hot and I'm always sweating when I'm running,it gives me a sort of success and I really enjoy it.LOL.And I ran 4km today.I felt cool.lol.
Well,yesterday was my last the at the LIT.I still feel very sad.I will really miss them all.But luckily I have some of their mobile phone number.I still can keep in touch with them before I go back to China.:)Oh,hopefully,I guess my parents will let me go to the LIT next year!!
Time flies.I have been in USA for 3 weeks now!Keep on fighting!

Cool

Oh,today was really COLDDDDD!!It was only less than 20˚C!(less than 70˚F)
I felt very tired in the morning because I didn't sleep well last night.The cat-Oreo always steped on my face when I was sleeping.That's really annoying!
In the morning,we were preparing for the show on Friday.We drew some accessories to put them on the background.I was asked to draw a pirate hat,a mask of Star War and I helped my partner to made a narrow street.I really enjoy that.I love drawing!
At noon,we communicated with those kids as usual.Talk to them,play with them.Then have our own lunch.
In the afternoon,I picked the explore lesson.Jenna is the teacher.My mission was to help her deal with those kids.They are really cute.
Yesterday is not very hot,too.We went to the hall of science.That was a good museum.I did know many things.Like Chinese actually cannot digest milk well.So maybe drinking milk to become taller doesn't work on Chinese.(But how did I get this height?LOL)There's a playground in the museum.One staff saw my bag and screamed.Because she liked my bag.Well,I'm totally confuced and don't know what to say.
And there's one person in the LIT saw my Pocky today and screamed.Because she loved Pocky but had few chance to get them.So I gave some of my Pocky to her.Well,then she called my Pocky Master.LOL.My new name!It's cool
Tomorrow is the last day of my camp here.I feel a little bit disappointed.Hope we will have fun:)
 
@NJ USA

I really went for a long walk yesterday.For the LIT special trip,all the LITs went to the Bushkill Falls to hike.
Through the whole day,the temperature was not very high.It's around 23~28˚C but a little bit humid.After an almost 2-hour ride,we reached our destination.To be frank,it is really a beautiful spot.Full of trees,bushes,flowers,birds,insects and many kinds of little mammals.Oh my gosh,they are so adorable!!!Some little tiny squirrels jumped from one branch to another one.Spreading their tiny arms and legs into the sky.Ready to fly!(what?)
We waited for a little while to get the tickets.And we get a guide booklet,too.
On the booklet there are 4 trails which were red,yellow,blue and green.The red one costs the longest time.The time blue needs is a little bit longer than the yellow trail.The green is the shortest one.Considering the time we had,we chose to mix those trails up.
At the very beginning,the trail is not very hard to pass through.But as we went deeper and deeper,the trail became more and more difficult to overcome.Because we were in the forest,though there was wind blowing it was still very hot.Everyone was sweating.My camp shirt was like just after washing when I finished the whole trip.
There were many natural rock trail.It made the trail more difficult to finish.What's more,my right foot got hurt just before I came to USA and it didn't totally recovered.Sometimes it still hurts when I step on those strange-shaped stones.
On our way,we found a waterfall and this forest is famous for this waterfall.The waterfall made a really loud sound.Water drops splashed on my body.The wind blew.I feel really comfortable and enjoyable.Seem like all the step I had taken to get there deserved it.We stayed there for a little bit longer to take pictures and enjoy the scenery.
Oh,well,to get back is far more difficult than to come.There were so many upstairs.Oh,I hate upstairs!!!We had already been very tired to get to the scenery and we didn't even have our lunch yet.(Because there is so many bugs flying around.It's hard to eat before the bugs eat our food.)When we got back to where we started,everyone was like a falling flag.I was so hungry that I finished my lunch with only a few bits.
While we were waiting for the bus to come,we went to the gift shop.I bought a few postcards for my friends in Shanghai.
I fell asleep quickly when I got on the bus.I think I should had a sweet dream.
Well,because of this trip,I find out I really need to excercise more in order to stay strong!Still,in brief,it was a really good experience!LOL!
 
@NJ USA

Well,Dan Brown's Angels&Demons again.(I think I'm one of Dan Brown's big fans now!!LOL)Today's theme is about a brotherhood which exist in the book and I'm a little confusing with this at first.
What's Illuminati?It's not a made-up thing.Illuminati really existed in the history.
The Illuminati (plural of Latin illuminatus, "enlightened") is a name given to several groups, both real and fictitious. Historically the name refers to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-erasecret society founded on May 1, 1776 to oppose superstition, prejudice, religious influence over public life, abuses of state power, and to support women's education and gender equality. The Illuminati were outlawed along with other secret societies by the Bavarian government leadershipwith the encouragement of the Roman Catholic Church, and permanently disbanded in 1785.In the several years following, the group was vilified by conservative and religious critics who claimed they had regrouped and were responsible for the French Revolution.(Quote from Wikipedia:Illuminati)
Check here for more information:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminati
Actually,I don't know what that is at the beginning.What's enlighten?Is that a real thing or just something Dan Brown made up in his mind?Since I kept on reading the book,this question really bothers me.I looked it up in the dictionary and searched on the internet.I found out it's a real organization.What's more,I have already studied in my History class!I was really impressed by that class.There were so many people who were full of intelligence in this brotherhood.They went together,tried to charge this world and tried to defeat the religion.In the book,the Illuminati killed many people in order to beat the religion.
Eventually,they did.They did make the world a difference.But still,the RELIGION is there.Never disappear.I think the most important reason is that people need a religion.More or less,people just need a religion to live.Maybe it's how the world ruled.
Well,actually,I'm on the Illuminate side.I'm a skeptic.I believe only science can make the world better.(Maybe believing in science is my own RELIGION in someway.LOL)However,murdering people is not right.

P.S.I have already finish more than half of the book!lol
 
@NJ USA

We went on a trip today.Our destination is Powerhouse Studio in Paramus.It's about 20 mins' drive to there from the camp centre.
Well,that's really fun. lol. Powerhouse Studio has many game shows and we can hold a party in there.We had many games in the morning such as sitting on a bubble and bump around or many other interesting things.
But actually the most funny part is punishment time!!!The one who win the game will get a pie then slap this pie on the loser's face,hair or anywhere the winner wants!!
That's so ridiculous when the loser got a pie on his face but he was starting to eat the cream and he went like"Yummy yummy!!!"How come????
We had a fast lunch today.It was two slices of pizza and some  soda.Then it was PARTY TIME!!!!!!
Almost all of the campers  join that.It was totally AMAZING!!!!We danced,we sang,we screamed.I followed the host's instruction.At first,I thought the party is  too noisy and loud for me.But at last I tried to join it and I found that I really really enjoyed this!I never did this sort of things when I was in China.It's like my first time to dance,sing and scream with sooo many people around.There were many songs I have heard like Feel this moment,Love somebody,Clarity,I love it and so on.
When we get back,all of us felt so tired.But it was a really good day.I had many feelings that I never felt before.
I'm really looking forward to my camp life next week!lol

LIT

LIT is stand for Leader In Training.Of course,it's a camp about leadership training.
I join the section 2&3.It's pretty cool.Every morning,we try to do some practices to build our teamwork and get to know each other. After that we do some games to relax ourselves.That's sooo funny!
Every one get 5 paper and number them.We write a phrase on the first paper then pass it to the next person.He or she need to try to draw a picture to explain the phrase on the second paper then pass to the next person.The next one cannot look at the phrase.He can only look at the paint and try to explain it in a phrase on the third paper and pass to the next fellow.Then do this again and again until you get yours eventually.
My phrase was "bake some cookies".The next person drew an oven with something like a cookie but really huge.On the second paper,somebody wrote "bake a pizza with an oven".Then someone drew an oven with a slice of pizza.Finally,there was one word-"Yummy" on the last paper.
That's really interesting.How people think of those phrases and paintings?Everyone's mind are TOTALLY different.
We play with the younger kids at noon.Actually,it's like helping them eat their meal until the lunch is over.We will have lunch after that.
In the afternoon,we each pick a course.There are Art,Explore,World Discovery,Theatre,Science.I chose Explore on Monday and Tuesday.My job is to help the teacher deal with those little kids.Don't let them mass up things.I picked Art today and I made a poster-Cashing in on Good Behavior.It's like an honor board.
WOW.I have to say those kids are really cute!!!!!!I love them!!!
Then it's recreation time.We play ball games.OK,well,I'm not good at those.Whatever.
As we come back to the camp center we have some snacks then play games such as UNO or something like that.
I go home at 4:30 usually.
In brief,I enjoy the camp life!!!!

P.S. I photoed some flower again!LOL.Please check the Gallery.
 
@NJ USA

It's all about Dan Brown's Angles&Demons again.But this time I'm going to talk about my favourite character-Maximilian Kohler.And why?
Maximilian Kohler,one scientist of the CERN in the book.He's also the director of the CERN.
Of course,he is a really intelligent person.Logical,efficient,responsible....and so on,these things are his character.Different from Vittoria,he may be the most rational character in this book.He does things step by step.Full of logical.When he is managing an event,he will first estimate the benefits and the downsides of this event.Is this event worth to do?What is the best way to accomplish this event?How many resources does this event need?I can imagine those questions he would think over.
In the book,he had a debate with Vittoria on his father's death.Vittoria was really upset about her father's death.She was becoming emotional.But Kohler did pull her back into the reality with his logic and ration.He let Vittoria know what to do eventually.
I really want to be a rational person like him.I think people need to do things with their brain not just do things rudely.
In a word,most time all a person needs is not emotion but ration.
 
@NJ USA 

Oh,well.I think I have already lived a representative American's life.lol
Get up at about 8:00AM.Then brushing teeth,washing face,eating breakfast.After that,I play my new computer or read some book until eating lunch.I had lunch at a chinese restaurant and I got a fortune cookie.The ticket inside says:One extends one's limits only by exceeding them.
After finishing my dinner,I go back into my room to read books,play computer or doing homework again.Just for relaxing myself.I'm glad that I have finish more than 1/4 of Angels&Demons!!
Still,exercising is necessary,too.So I take a walk for about half to one hour around the street.Along the road,in this silent world,I sometimes sing to myself.Sometimes I observe the trees,grass,flowers,listen to the birds singing and flying above my head.That's really enjoyable.
Sometimes I ride to the library near by.The route looks not very long but actually it's really long.I need to ride about 20mins to reach there.Usually,I borrow DVDs there.Because watching movie is one of my favourite hobbies.I borrowed about 10 DVDs today such as the new movie Twilight,and the old movie like the silence of the lambs,abduction,high school musical(this one is really dull!!) and so on.Oh!I also borrowed the silent hill-the famous horror movie!I really want to watch it alone during the midnight!It must be really exciting.I hope I can sleep well after watching this by myself.LOL
Oh,I sometimes go to the supermarket with my relatives,too.I bought a lot of snacks today!Maybe I will be fatter than before when I go back to China.But,I will try my best to prevent this from happening.God bless me!
After shopping,we go back home to have dinner.Then I chat with my relatives and play with my cousins.They are really adorable.I'm planing to post some of their pictures on my blog.lol
There's something unfortunate today.The plumb is broken!!!TERRIBLE!!:(

Aren't they beautiful!?Of course!!!!I found them in my relatives' yard.I can't explain how I felt when I saw them.Because they are soooooo beautiful!!!!
P.S. I decided to add a section to put my photographs!There are so many beautiful things in this world!!You can check more photos in the Gallery.
