The Fifth Week On the Campus of Yale Univerisity

This is the fifth week since we arrived at New Haven on June, 29^th, 2014. As there is only one week before we leave Yale University, we are becoming excessively sensitive. On the one hand, we are homesick and miss our family members so much, some even could not control their tears and are eager to go back home; on the other hand, we have a strong feeling that we will miss our instructors, Siggy, Carrie and the teachers in Yale so much because we have learned a lot from them. Thus, we want to stay here to share our happiness and make our friendship to last forever. What a dilemma: to stay or to leave?

Sometimes human beings are complicated creatures with so contradictory emotions: happiness, sorrow, eagerness, regrets will tangle together at the same time. When people try to say goodbye, they are reluctant to part with each other. Tears, laughter and smile take turns to appear on their face.  “It was hard to meet you and then bid farewell.”  A line written by LI Shangyin, a great poet of Tang dynasty, can well reveal my feeling at the approaching time of departure. We will soon leave Yale, leave New Haven. May we return to the unforgettable place in our dreams!
