Wow! What a fabulous day to be alive and living in shanghai!! Its 65 degrees, sunny with a light breeze, and absolutely beautiful. Not wanting to sit at my computer all day or stay indoors, I decided to take advantage of the great weather the best I could and decided to explore campus. I walked towards north campus, an area I had not yet scoped out, and came across a path that ran parallel to one of the many waterways/rivers on campus. This path was lined beautifully with weeping willow type trees, cherry blossoms, and roses. All the plants are blooming and turning campus into a loverly array of different splashes of color everywhere I look! I feel more like I am walking around a quaint little town rather than a university campus. I pass apartment buildings across from which are little fruit stands and markets. There are tons of people riding bikes, meandering the streets, and enjoying the good weather just like me. I’m so thankful I am studying in such an amazing place and am definitely going to miss this when I eventually go home!
