I had a wonderful spring break, going to the UK to see my boyfriend, and we traveled to Scotland and stayed at London for a couple of days. I think I have visited most of the major cities and saw the places that most of the people would see. But when I got back, I just realized that there were tons of things to do, pulling me back to reality. The good news is that before spring break, I got an interview from Welcoming Center for New Pennsylvania, which is a non-profit organization that connects employers, business corporations to help new immigrants better integrate to the Philadelphia region. I will be interning there for this summer, as my internship site for my program. I am glad that my internship is now secured, and the next thing I have to do in March is to finish the internship prospectus. Another thing that has also been dangling is the off-campus housing searching. Right now, I have two in mind, but I am still trying to make a decision. Since it is all one-year lease, I don't want to be rash in the choice but I think I am able to make it before April. If you are inclined to live off-campus, I hope that you have started your searching or you have already decided because the later you get started, the less likely you will find a place that is accessible to public transportation (if you don't drive) or Penn campus, reasonably priced, safe and has good neighborhood. As I mentioned in the previous blog, I encourage you guys to start searching early so you can get a good deal. </span><div>

Check out the event that specifically designs for you! <span style="font-size: large;">There will be a <span style="background-color: #ffe599; color: purple;">Web Chat</span> for <span style="background-color: #ffe599; color: purple;">international students</span> on March 5, 8:30am-10:00am eastern time. If you are international students, I highly recommend RSVPing to the event with our current international students and alumni. The <a href="https://register.applyyourself.com/?id=UPENN-ED&pid=1391&eID=45466&rid=1" target="_blank">RSVP link</a> is here. Last year, I attended the web chat for international students, and it was very useful to know more about life at Penn before arriving here. Therefore, I am writing this blog to encourage you guys to register and participate. It will be a good time to have your questions answered by students who have been studying here for a while. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I really want to be there with you, but u</span><span style="font-size: large;">nfortunately, I can't make it to the event. But there will be many students who can help you, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me. I will reach out to you shortly. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Many of you, I believe, have already got admitted to Penn. It's time for you to get connected with Penn community. If you are still deciding whether to accept the offer, participating in this event might give you a much clearer idea of what Penn has to offer and how international students spend their time here. It is a great resource that you definitely don't want to waste. </span><br />

I reposted this earlier blog about living on-campus so that people who missed it could take a look at it, and for those who took an interest in living on-campus, just keep an eye on the residential website for any important updates. I remembered attending an online info session about on-campus housing before making the decision in April. Therefore, when you are informed of your admission to Penn, you can start right off searching residential information. If you want to live off-campus, don't wait until May to get started, because by that time, many housing will not be available. My friend and I have already started now, and are about to decide where we want to live for the next two semesters. So don't wait till the last minute. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For those of you who want to live on campus, you cannot miss this episode.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sansom Place is home for graduate students who choose to live on campus. It is consisted of two buildings--Sansom Place East and Sansom Place West. I am currently living at Sansom East, so I am able to fill you in some information about how's life here.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> There are three words to describe my experience living at Sansom Place: convenient, safe and fun. Convenience and safety are always the top priorities when it comes to thinking about where to settle down. In this sense, Sansom Place has a lot going for it because of its favorable location and good security system. Located on Chestnut Street, it is only a 3 minutes walk to Penn bookstore, 5 minutes to Penn GSE and Pottruck Fitness Center, 10 minutes to Van Pelt Library ( which is the largest library at Penn). If you have classes in the morning, you can sleep in till 30 minutes prior to your class schedule. (If you are able to get shower and breakfast done in 20 minutes). It is also close to convenient store like CVS, and a grocery market. Therefore, its prime location has attracted many residents who value convenience most.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What Sansom Place provides also makes life easier. There is one laundry room down the sub-basement, which is free; many study rooms and lounges are on the ground floor; package room is only situated on the 2nd floor in Sansom East, meaning that residents in Sansom West have to come to Sansom East and pick up their packages. Trash chute is located on even number floor. So it takes a little going down or up for students living on odd number floor. The monthly rent includes cable, internet, utilities. Basically, residents only have to pay the amount that corresponds to their apartment type, no extra fees added.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Secondly, the security system equipped in two buildings should be given credits for. There are front desks and security guard working 24 hours, and for each building, there is an entrance where residents should both swipe their Penn Card and enter their unique 4-digit code to get access to the inside. Without Penn Card and 4-digit code, one cannot enter the main building. (The 4- digit code is created by students online and it is recommended never revealing their unique code to someone else.) For anyone that is from outside of Sansom Place, they must sign in and present their ID at the front desk. (I am not sure if they need to be accompanied by a Sansom Place resident; but from what I experienced, the answer is Yes.) Same rule for overnight visitors. If you have families or friends visiting you and they will be staying for a longer time, Hilton Hotel Inn and Sheraton University are just outside of Sansom Place.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Lastly, I think living here is kind of fun because there are many activities for students to be engaged and get to know each, and most of them are free. I've have participated in a tour to Philadelphia Arts Museum, and went to a welcome BBQ for all new residents. For me, most of my classmates are living in Sansom Place, therefore, it would be easier for us to get together, meet for group project and socialize.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There is one topic that I can't avoid when talking about on-campus housing, which is the cost!! As you know, most of the housing offered on-campus would be relatively higher than those off-campus. It's true. Choosing here has lots of advantages, but in the meantime, it is kind of expensive. However, it depends on how you value the importance. If, for example, you'd prefer low cost than convenience, than it's okay to find a place a bit farther from Penn campus.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope this blog will give you a general sense of what Sansom Place is like, and help you make the best housing choice.

So here, I want to share my thoughts with you in terms of going to Penn.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Actually, coming to US for higher education was not a rash decision. When I was a sophomore in high school, my father wanted to send me here for undergrad. Honestly, at that time, I was not determined if I truly wanted to go to a foreign country for college, not only because it was a big investment, financially speaking, but also because it meant four-year separation from my parents and friends. I was not sure if I was mentally prepared for that. The reason why my father wanted me to go the US was that he thought (it is what many Chinese parents believed) college education is US ranks high in the world, and considering I am good at liberal arts than math and science, the colleges in US might seem more suitable for me. ( Math is really important in Chinese education, especially when it comes to college entrance examination, which could be a determining measurement of what tier of school students could get in.) At first, I took my father's advice, shifting more focus on the application for US colleges instead of working hard to get into the top college in Shanghai. Being a bit afraid of the college entrance examination, I wanted to escape it by going abroad. However, a couple of months later, I realized that my idea was stupid; that going to the US for college was just an excuse to shun the exam sounded ridiculous for me. If I went to the school in a foreign not because I truly wanted to go but because of my cowardness , then I would not be very successful in college because I lacked self-motivation and determination. I always tell myself, " if I don't feel like doing it or if I ever have second thoughts about it, think before I act. " The thinking process would let me calm down, be reasonable and weigh in. Therefore, I gave up college application to US schools and plunged myself into the crazy studying for college exams in China, ending up a good college in Shanghai.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The time I decided to pursue master degree was again my sophomore year in college. ( Looks like the second year was the turning point in each education stage for me.) The reasons were 1). to finish my unfinished dream in high school, but with strong motivation and determination this time; 2). to increase the edge when it comes to job seeking and competition. 3). the focus of my program is one of my interests, and I kind of line up to my major and experiences. My motivation gained from two years of studying in college. My major was English, and I thought, "what was the point of learning English if you didn't go an English-speaking country for an education?" Apart from that, I always wanted to personally experience the differences of higher education systems between the two countries, not just stuck in one mode of learning. For the second reason, it is obvious that having an master degree from a well-known graduate school in US would definitely bring up my notch, comparing with someone who graduated from a local university. So that's pretty much explained why I decided to come here. If some one came up to me and ask, " I don't know if I should apply for a master degree." I'd probably reply, " Take a pause; consider your interests and career; think about what continuing studies would do for you; don't force yourself into doing something that you have doubts about it or simply you not sure; wait till you are fully convinced by your heart saying, "Yes, this is truly what I want." I took a lot thinking before making the decision, and I hope that going to graduate school was not an act on the spur of moment for the applicants.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">By the way, Penn is the right place to go if you are sure and motivated. : )</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01237352298056704850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7303526721263681705.post-66695962124284746662014-02-16T10:55:00.000-08:002014-02-16T10:55:23.636-08:00Episode 41--Ed.D Weekend and Graduate assistantship<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday was a big day for Penn GSE. Ed.D applicants were invited to Penn GSE and participated in various events that our admission planned for them. The events were the same as Ph.D weekend, which was two weeks ago. What I loved most was meeting those candidates and having delicious food! Spending a whole day to the Ed. D weekend was a sacrifice, but it paid off at the end especially when the candidates and all of our GAs were gathered in the Penn Museum having a nice cocktail happy hour and an amazing dinner. This is also the second that all of GAs were able to get together and participated in an event. ( Due to the time schedules of different programs, usually one or two GAs had to miss out on the events. ) Therefore, this time of event has become significant to all of us because everyone came out. We also took pictures of us celebrating the long-waiting reunion. : ) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Some people have asked me about the graduate assistantship. I am not sure if it depends on the programs. In terms of my program (ICC), you don't have to apply for it. It comes directly along with your admission letter, and you can choose whether to take it or not. However, at that time, you don't know what type of work you are assigned to. ( I don't know if the policy changes, at least for me, it worked this way.) If I remembered correctly, I was not informed that I was going to work for GSE admission until one week or two weeks before arriving at Penn, so around mid August. For that, I didn't get to choose what type of work I wanted to do for my graduate assistantship. I knew some students in my cohort and in TESOL program works for one specific professor, which is also really cool. But I love working at the admission office. It was such a luck for me to get picked up for that (I still don't know the assigning process, though), and I really really enjoyed working with those lovely GAs. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01237352298056704850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7303526721263681705.post-91969475738316835262014-02-16T08:51:00.000-08:002014-02-16T08:51:17.383-08:00Episode 40--Chinese Lantern Festival and Happy Valentine's Day <span style="font-size: large;">I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day! This year is special for Chinese because it coincides with our traditional Lantern Festival, which is regarded as the 15th day of the first lunar month, (of the last day of Chinese Spring Festival). On that day, we usually eat Yuanxiao ( a sweet dumplings made of glutinous rice flour with sesame fillings, watch lantern show and a television gala. Yuanxiao is a symbol for family reunion and happiness. Many Chinese students at Penn celebrated this day by eating Yuanxiao with their Valentines (if they have their girlfriend or boyfriend here), hoping that their love will be as sweet as Yuanxiao, and they will always be together no matter how far the distance sets them apart. So best wishes to them, and best wishes to those single men and ladies! Hope you will find their Princess or Mr. Right in the new year. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Posted a picture of Yuanxiao, and the traditional lantern show, though many places do not literally have such old-fashioned lanterns hanging outside. </span><br />

And finally the time has come to starting searching.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Currently, I am living in Sansom Place, which is the graduate on-campus residential buildings at Penn. I wrote a blog about graduate students living on campus in September. If you want more information, you can go back and find the blog titled "On-Campus Housing", where I state the advantages of living there. Feel free to check it out because that's a kind of information that you don't want to miss. : )</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The main reason I want to move out is that living on campus is rather expensive. My apartment (which is two bedrooms, one kitchen and one bathroom shared with two persons) costs me $922 per month, including electric, heat, water, internet, laundry and etc. In other words, there is no extra money you need to spend on top of the $922. While for off-campus housing, it costs less, although it is farther from GSE and Penn campus. Also, comparing with having a roommate, I'd prefer living by myself. Not that I don't like roommates, quite opposite, my roommate is really nice, I just think that living on my own would be much easier, considering the habits, biological clock, food preference, cooking, shower time and etc. Sometimes negotiations and compromises do work, if either person is willing to make adjustments or bear. But for me, I think living alone gives me sole autonomy on the way of living. I don't have to take the time considering my roommate's feelings if I get up 7 am in the morning, trying to make breakfast. Therefore, less money and the longing of being free are the reasons I am doing lots of searching.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are also considering living off campus, Penn has websites that provide off campus information. <a href="http://cms.business-services.upenn.edu/offcampusservices/">http://cms.business-services.upenn.edu/offcampusservices/</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will blog about my finding result once it is definitely set. A piece of advice for admitted students: if you are new to Philadelphia, I would recommend that you could first choose to live on-campus. After you have gained some familiarity with the area, such as where is relatively safe and where should be avoided, you can move out and look for a new place. What is also important is that when it comes to apartment searching, it is highly recommended for you to personally pay a visit to check your intended house before signing the contract. Given that most of the houses/apartments are for one-year leasing, you should first take a look for yourself, see if it is the place where you would like to spend one year living in. Some of my friends are not quite satisfied with the place because they are international students, and they are not able to personally come here before signing the contract. So be careful with that.</span><br />

For graduate assistants, it has been really busy. On Friday evening, we went to a fancy restaurant called Davio's in center city Philadelphia for registration. There, those applicants could socialize and mingle while having a decent dinner. For us, I guess one of the perks of working at GSE Admission Office is that we could also be treated with nice dishes and a cup of wine. The next day, which was the big day for the applicants because they were about to impress GSE faculty/professors so as to be admitted to their intended program. In the morning, Andrea and I first went to the Club Quarters (hotel) to escort them to the Inn at Penn, where they would be having breakfast and attending academic poster presentation given by some of our GSE faculty members and current PhD students. Around 12 pm, they were escorted to GSE for the lunch and one-on-one interview/conversation with the faculty. The interview lasted from 2pm to 5 pm; each applicant has about 30 minutes to talk with the professor. After that, they were invited to a fancy dinner held in the Penn Museum, which I didn't go. I believe that other GA would blog about that evening event in their blogs if you would like to know more about it. ( They said it was amazing!) As to Sunday, a current student panel was held in the restaurant where we just had dinner Friday evening. After having breakfast, current PhD students did a fantastic presentation to the applicants regarding PhD students lives at Penn as well as living in Philadelphia. I also learned a lot from hearing them, and decided to try out some of their recommended restaurants. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01237352298056704850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7303526721263681705.post-53075279318535312042014-01-30T06:39:00.000-08:002014-01-30T06:39:07.281-08:00Episode 37-Happy Chinese New Year!!!!!! Best wishes to the year of Horse! <span style="font-size: large;">When the clock turns 12pm today, it marks that China will be entering a new year--the year of Horse! I feel extremely excited about it because I was born in the year of horse, a twelve-year circle finally ringing my horoscope in. It also means that I am officially turning 24.....and that's the ONLY thing I don't want to talk about it.......</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Right now, I am watching the live show of traditional Chinese New Year Grand Gala online. The show will be running from 8pm to 12am at local time, and I got up at 6:45 am this morning in order to watch it on time! Being in a foreign is not an excuse for missing out on such big celebration. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My cell has been ringing since yesterday, full of those warm messages expressing best wishes for the new year and blessings. Those words all contain the Chinese character“马”(horse), hoping that everyone could be successful, healthy and blessed in the new year. Therefore, if you have Chinese friends, you can change your daily greetings from "Nihao" to "Xin Nian Kuai Le" (Happy New Year) or " Ma Nian Ji Xiang" (Wish you all the best in the year of Horse!) As a person that is being greeted upon, I'd more than delighted to hear that, and it sounds much sweeter, keeping up in the festive spirit. </span><br />

I guess for the past two weeks, I was still having the hangover from the break, and because of the big snow that happened on last Tuesday and Wednesday, school was closed, meaning that I didn't actually get started on the class until this week. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have a strong feeling that this semester would be a lot different than the fall. Still taking three courses, I got to explore different teaching styles and course contents that Intercultural Communication (ICC) program has to offer. The core course "Experiential Learning Design" aims at providing us (learners) with learning methodologies and adult learning to hone our training and facilitating skills. A large part of the class will be involved with pair/group training and workshop designing. Additionally, what sets this course apart from traditional course is that it is a three-hour course, from 4:30pm to 7:30pm. The instructor had us signed up a sheet for taking turns to bring snacks to each class so that we can have a short break grabbing something to eat. I have never taken a class like that before, and judging from what past students said about that class, it would be very useful, practical and enjoyable. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Another thing that has been swinging in my head since the beginning of the year was that it is the time to secure an internship for this summer, a core component that leads to the final thesis and graduation. As a starter, I have applied to Intercultural international program (IIP) under Penn Global, which offers undergrads and grads opportunities to spend a summer abroad doing internships, and selected applicants will be received an amount of money sponsored by IIP to offset their internships. It is going to be competitive, so except for that, I am going to search other internship opportunities here in case I am not selected. Right now, I just have my peer advisor and fieldwork coordinator look over my resume, and I also need to work on the cover letter ! I don't know why I just kept procrastinating ! </span><br />

It was where we began our journey in United Kingdom. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We were supposed to be staying at London for three days, and then went to Brighton, Bath, Oxford, Cambridge and went to back to Sheffield, where my boyfriend temporarily lives in. Unfortunately, the plan was cancelled due to an unexpected incident! My boyfriend got diarrhea after we had breakfast at Mc Donald's, and because of that, we had to stay at hotel, doing nothing but watch LIVE firework over London Bridge online to celebrate New Year. It was a bum out. What made the issue even worse was that every time he had diarrhea, he needed to take medicine right away. As luck would have it, he forgot to take them! Therefore, I cancelled all the hotel reservations for the next four destinations, and left for Sheffield the next day, which was two days earlier to leave London than we planned. So....bad beginning....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But things started turning around a bit after he got better one day later. He took me to York, Cambridge, Bath and finally sent me off at Manchester Airport. ( We got to Manchester one day before my departure to Philadelphia and did some shopping.) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Overall, my trip to UK was not completely ruined. But it still bothered me, though, because the weather was not so cooperative, and I felt like there was so much more to see in London. Well, it's okay. I will go there again anyway. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I did visited Buckingham Palace, and Big Ben. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The national flag shows that the Queen currently was not there.....</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">One amazing thing that we did in London was that we went to Mason& Fortnum, a famous tea house for an authentic English Afternoon tea. It is a really popular spot because the reservation has been to February. ( My boyfriend made the reservation in November..so...) One step in there, you would realize that Englishman spent their afternoon in a really fancy way. The building has four floors. Except for the top floor which is used for afternoon tea, the rest of the storeys are for shopping, with various kinds of teas, teacups, tea-things, muffins, sandwiches and etc. Also, it was kind of expensive. Afternoon tea for two people is 90 pounds !!!!!! But we are just tourists; it's okay to waste money there once. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So my favorite city, besides London, would be York. It is regarded as the most beautiful city in the northern part of England. It demonstrated a different style that could not be found in other cities. Also, the second largest church is at there, next to Westminster in London. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">York is famous for its tea house and York sausage. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Bath is another touristy city. Some famous places of interests are The Royal Crescent, The Circus, Roman Bath, and Bath Abbey. We stayed there for one night. One lesson I bear in mind after this trip is that as long as the weather is good, the city will present its best scene. If it rains, no matter how beautiful a city is, it is still not that stunning as it would be. Bath is a good example. </span></div>

After my first stop at Barcelona, we also went to Granada to visit Alhambra, and we watched an authentic Flamenco dance show in Sacramento. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One exciting thing about going to Granada was that I was able to overlook the Barcelona's coastline through the window on the plane. The plane kept flying at a relatively low altitude, and it was so beautiful when I saw that the sea and the sky somehow linked together, making it a harmonious scene. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'd say that Alhambra was not as majestic as I expected (only my personal view), probably because I have seen similar places before, such as Imperial Palaces in Beijing and Potala Palace in Tibet. Therefore, the whole view of Alhambra did not strike me as breath-taking. However, it is still a must-see place of interest in Granada as the tickets are usually sold out very quickly and the lines to get into the palace were crazy long. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The third stop was Nerja, which is a small city near Malaga that a lot of visitors don't go, but we made a wise choice to take to bus there and check it out. To anyone who is interested in visiting Spain, Nerja won't let you down! It is a city to chill out, enjoying the sea view and have a bottle of wine. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After spending a cheerful afternoon in Nerja, we took a train to Sevilla. Sevilla is my another favorite city in Spain, second to Barcelona. What is amazing about Sevilla is that it is just like a magnified painting, full of bright colors and vitality. The orange trees are everywhere; the horse carriages are busy with carrying the visitors around several main scenic spots. We stopped by Catedral de Sevilla and Plaza de Espana, and we lived within the Barrio de Santa Cruz, which all made my stay at Sevilla unforgettable. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The cathedral in Sevilla does not pale in comparison with Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. In fact, it seems to me that the main lobby is much bigger than Sagrada Familia, and it took more time to explore the whole cathedral. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Madrid was the last stop we chose to cap off our wonderful 10-day trip to Spain. Royal Palace of Madrid became the deepest impression that I had about this capital city. From my personal aesthetic point of view, I tend to choose the palace in Madrid over the one in Granada. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So that is pretty much about my trip to Spain. Even now, I can still feel this Spanish hangover as I browse these pictures. It is such a wonderful trip and an amazing country. I'd love to go there again if there is a chance. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">Hey guys, I am writing my blog about my
traveling on the plane back to Philadelphia. Traveling to Spain and United
Kingdom, the two amazing countries in the world, have been an eye-opening
experience for me. Everything was a bit different from the United States, and I
was greatly relishing in these inexhaustible varieties that the world can offer
to those explorers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">While I was on vacation, I was thinking
about how I should recap the places that I had been to, given that I am not a
kind of person who would write travel journals. On one hand, I would like to
share with you what an amazing country Spain is. On the other hand, considering
that I am not an expert of writing beautiful descriptions, especially those
paragraphs you will see in the travel magazine, I am afraid that what I am
going to write will not do enough justice to the real scenes I have seen.
Therefore, as always, I would love to share pictures with you, and my feelings
about them—architecture, food, people and the culture. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">So for Spain, my 10-day itinerary follows
like this: Barcelona, Granada, Nerja, Sevilla, Madrid. Barcelona was the first
stop to kick off the trip. It is a city of art, architecture, and delicate
cuisine. It may not be those cities that would come off the top of your mind
when you think about the best or the most dynamic city in the world. But it
would blow your mind in its own way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">One cannot talk about Barcelona without mentioning Gaudi, a form of art expression created by Antoni Gaudi. His works have become an inseparable element of Barcelona, considering most of the famously built architecture, buildings, or parks all belong to Gaudi, as an art form. By visiting the spectacular Sagrada Familia, Casa Batillo, La Pedrera, Park Guell etc, I couldn't help but fall in love with this type of art. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> This is the exterior designing of Sagrada Familia. An interesting thing about it is that it is an unfinished masterpiece, and it is still under construction. However, it does not blemish its reputation of being one of the greatest basilicas in the world. Visitors from all over the world come here to appreciate the artistic works of Gaudi.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Besides Gaudi, Barcelona is also famous for its food. It is where you can taste authentic Spanish dishes. From my personal view, Chinese people are more likely to fall for Spanish dishes because the food tastes similarly, and probably they have overlap in cooking. I really like the way they make seafood. ( My boyfriend and I are both seafood lovers, so for every meal, we ordered at least one fish dish--the perk of living in a city that has coastline.) Oh, don't forget Tapas, if you'd go to Spain. It is a typical spanish dish that serves a small amount of food, and you can choose different contents for your Tapas.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A sample Tapas looks like this. But it varies according to different restaurants.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We tried the authentic Paella (with Lobster!), and it was really really tasty! We dined at this restaurant twice, and ordered the lobster Paella twice. I can still remember how it tastes by looking at the picture. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;">Considering it is a time between the end of
all my finals and the start of my beautiful vacation, I wanted to take the time
to do little self-reflections on what I have done during the past few months.
Although grades have not been posted yet, I’d like to say something about what
I thought I did well and what I thought I could make improvements for the next
semester. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;">For a starter, I think that I did a good
job at time managing. It is a very important skill, especially when you are a
graduate student. Penn has a reputation for hosting various events and
activities for both undergrads and grads, and you are not so good at time
managing, you might probably get occupied with all the parties,
social-gathering while leaving no time for your study. And that’s a no-no for
grad study at GSE because no matter what program you are in, you probably will
have tons of readings, assignments, papers to work on. But that does not mean
you have to sacrifice your leisure time. In this respect, I was really glad
that I was able to juggle the assignments, assistantship, and other campus or
non-campus events. On one hand, life became too dull if you’d be stuck at dorm
doing school works all day long; on the other hand, too much commitment to events,
parties or any non-academic work might make the whole grad study meaningless.
Therefore, find a balance, make a good plan for both of your work and play is
my suggestion, and I felt pretty good when I got all my papers or assignments
done in a timely manner, without any rush or pulling all-nighters while at the
same time, tried to be involved in any activities or events that I was
interested in. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;">Also, about my graduate assistantship, I
really enjoyed working as a part of GSE admission office. If it counts as a
job, then it is the very first job that I ever had in US, and I felt so honored
and glad that I could be awarded this as part of my admission package. The work
was not hard, but it still took time and my heart to doing it. For example, the
first time I took a prospective student out for a campus tour, I spent 45
minutes looking at our campus tour notes, trying to remember the things that
were worth mentioning. (Because Penn campus is not small. Except for a couple
of regular places that I would go to, other buildings did not seem very
familiar to me. And I would spend time remembering the services, facilities
they provide in order to give students a better idea of what Penn has to
offer.) That is to say that every person working at GSE admission office is
really committed to what they are doing, and they are striving to provide
students with assistance as best as they can. So for this assistantship, I’d
also like to give everyone and myself a round of applause, and I will
definitely work as hard, and even harder next semester. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;">What I think I could improve is that
perhaps I can be more expressive in class. The frequency of me saying anything
in-class was less than I expected. As an international student, it might be a
common thing—not speaking up in fron of the class. As I tried to overcome this bad
“habit”, I felt that sometimes I was still remain silent, not because I didn’t
have anything in my brain, but because I just didn’t want to say it. (That’s
weird) So I will be working on it and trying to be more open about what I have
to say and stop being hesitant about speaking it out. It is a good opportunity
for international students to get rid of their fear of speaking English and
help them restore confidence. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;">I guess this is my way to say goodbye to my
fall semester. And if you’d like to take a pry at what I am going to do for the
winter break, I will be updating my blogs, just like usual, and the contents
are all travel-related, if you’re interested in reading them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for reading my blogs for the past
few months. Hope that you can continue reading them during the winter break and
spring semester. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;">Have a nice weekend and holiday! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;">Hey guy! I know I have not updated my blogs
for a long time. I’m swamped with my finals and now they are all done! It is a
great relief. I submitted my last take-home exam online yesterday afternoon,
and my roommate prepared a wonderful dinner for me to celebrate our finals. We
also invited two friends, who were also in ICC program to come and join us for
this fantastic moment that we have been waiting for since the start of this
semester. My roommate kept saying to me how fast time went by. She was like, “on
Oct. 18, you said there are two months away until you go to UK; and today, I’m
going to say to you that tomorrow you will be flying to UK. It is just so fast.
Faster than I ever expected.” It is true. I still remembered at the
orientation, one of the advisors said two- year program was really fast, so you
had to make the time here valuable. I think it not only applies to graduate
study at Penn, but also holds true for anything meaningful that we're doing. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

We've got a lot of application coming in, and as one of the graduate assistants (GAs), we have been assisting the admission officers in filing. Because of the high volumes of the applications, we have to work on the weekends to process the files. Therefore, in the midst of all the presentations and papers, I volunteered to spare a couple of hours helping people out. Also, one thing that I love about working at GSE admission is that they are really generous about food. For the time blocks that I worked at the GSE during the past week from 5:00 pm to 7: 00pm, I always went home with a satisfied stomach. They are never stingy about ordering food for our GA, and I really appreciated that. ( Thanks!) I will be doing the same time blocks for the next week as well to get more work hours so that my graduate assistantship wouldn't be taken away at the end of spring semester due to uncompleted hours. So, I need to be more conscious about time management, especially when I have to juggle the finals and the work. Good luck to me....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One last note:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you are interested in applying to GSE, it's the time for you to do it! Don't hesitate!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01237352298056704850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7303526721263681705.post-32194449550997812932013-12-06T12:34:00.000-08:002013-12-06T12:44:31.819-08:00Episode 28--Ordeal before Winter Break<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The two weeks before winter break are probably the busiest period of time that I have at GSE. I've got two presentations and a poster due next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, as well as a final paper and take-home exam due the week after next week. So basically, before I happily pack up my stuff and go to airport on 18th, I need to first get those things done! It is the ordeal that I am currently going through. I didn't get much sleep since the start of this week. The two big presentations are group projects, thus requiring all the members working collaboratively with our individual part prepared. To be honest, I don't think that the courses I am taking this semester have incredible amount of work to do. However, when things start to approach the end, it is common to have a bunch of assignments due at the same time, and that is when things can turn a little overwhelming. With that being said, I am still positive about those dues waiting for me. When I think about the great plan that I have for the winter break, it just pumps me up, and it is the momentum that keeps me going through these horrible and packed days.</span><br />

Wolson, and our new Director of Admissions, Natalie Herring will be traveling
next week, so we are planning to have Holiday Reception/Meet the Dean events in
both Chicago and NYC. It will be a great opportunity to meet leaders from
GSE, find out more about our degrees and programs, network, and enjoy some
delicious food. As a graduate student, I know that winter break is a
popular time to work on applications, so this is the perfect time to celebrate
the holidays and fall in love with Penn GSE =) You can register/RSVP for
these events by visiting our events page: </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;"><a href="http://www.gse.upenn.edu/admissions_financial/events#off_campus"><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18.0pt;">http://www.gse.upenn.edu/admissions_financial/events#off_campus</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I wished that everyone had a wonderful and
safe Thanksgiving and holidays! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As a traditional American festival,
Thanksgiving means a lot to Americans, reunion, family-gatherer, feast, and
quality time with parents. However, for international students like me, it
means a good excuse to take a vacation and do some traveling. Being away from
my family doesn’t damper my spirits of celebrating this festival by doing
something fun. So for me, I gave myself a break and allowed me to enjoy a
six-day trip to Boston, which I have been longing for since October. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Before departing, I asked some of my
friends who had already been to Boston for advice, and almost everybody made
the same comment, “Boston won't let you down.” That made me even more excited
about this trip. Boston has always been my favorite city in US. I am not sure
why I am so obsessed with it, perhaps because of its colonial atmosphere, rich
historical and cultural heritages, or just the city vibe it gives off. Everything
about it is like a magnet that attracts me to it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Traveling with another ICC student, we had
a great time exploring the whole city. For a starter, the hotel that we stayed
is located at Cambridge. Overlooking the Charles River and offering an amazing
view of Boston skyline, the hotel provided us with a luxurious scene of Boston
night view on the first day we checked in, and we felt so lucky that we were
given a room with the river view available at a relatively low price.
(Suggestion: plan your trip earlier so that you can get a good deal of both
your transportation and housing.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Boston is steeped with strong England
ambience, and that is what sets it apart from other cities. What I found it
amazing about it is that when I was walking on the streets, I could hear many
people speaking in European Language (French, German, Italian etc.). I seldom
heard of such a variety of language being spoken in Philadelphia. Also, rumor has
it that in Boston, there is a part of area where people only speak British
English in order to show that they are different than the rest of American
English speakers. While I was in there, I tried to look for evidence to confirm
this saying. I got really exhilarated when I heard British English was uttered
at some places as I stumbled upon, and that was the moment I began to feel a
stronger attachment to the city. Sometimes it was just the tiny little things
that made me so enchanted by something. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This street is called Newbury Street, which is the heaven for shopping! The brands cater to different types of consumers, from mass to high-end, from H&M to Chanel, from second-hand to personal tailor, you will definitely find something that you need. Also, in order to keep up the festive spirits, we went shopping on Black Friday. But we were not that "crazy" enough lining up outside of the store at 23:00. We got up at five the next day morning and went for that street at six to do the shopping spree. That was a bit energy-consuming, but I kept reminded myself that I was in America; that was their unique festival and I should be celebrating it by following the crowds. Anyway, our getting so early did pay off. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Another thing I love about Boston is that
it is on the coast, and it is famous for lobsters! I am a big fan of seafood.
Given that it is rather expensive to eat lobsters in China, I decided to take
the advantage of its reputation and have a real-good authentic lobster feast in
Boston. This season might not be ideal for lobsters, because people can
actually go to the beach, catching some live lobsters themselves during summer.
While in winter, tourists can still enjoy fabulous taste, but they could not be
able to have fun of catching lobsters. So that gives me a reason for going there
again during summertime. It is the same for whale watching and all the cruises
and yachts. They are closed for now and will be opened in the spring. (when the
temperature gets higher)</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There is also one more thing you cannot forget to mention when talking about Boston--Harvard and MIT, the two top universities. I'd say that MIT is little bit monotonous to have a campus tour since the buildings are pretty straightforward, and it is not big. But I spent lots of time wandering around in the insignia store. (not sure if it is the right word, similar to Penn Bookstore that sells Penn stuffs) As to Harvard, I instantly fall in love with it due to its beauty. Both the campus as well as the Harvard Square are terrific. For tourists, it was not easy to resist loving this place. The food was delicious, too. We tired a Mexican restaurant and a Chinese restaurant, and both were highly recommended by students here. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I<span style="font-size: large;">n general, as my friends said, Boston did
not let me down. Although it was raining on the second and the wind was gusting
on the third day, it did not affect my mood at all. If I had a chance, maybe
someday after graduation, I would like to choose to live there for a while
because I really want to get to the city on another level, not just remaining
on a tourist’s perspective, but from an insider’s point of view. That will
certainly give me a lot different interpretation of looking at the city as well
as different experiences of being in the city. </span></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Besides the Thanksgiving feast held by GSE at Houston Hall the past Thursday, my living place--Sansom Place also had a Thanksgiving dinner at ground floor. About a hundred and fifty residents showed up. The food was really good, especially the gravy chicken slices. ( I was expecting a whole turkey, since I always wanted to try authentic American turkey style. But as long as it had chicken elements, it was all good.) We also did some paper games while eating. My roommate and friends got interested in the games and got little prizes for getting all the answers right! Anyway, Who can turn down the wonderful free food ! <div>

Wish everyone a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! </div>

As a requirement of my program, each student should complete one internship during first-year summer or second-year fall semester, fulfilling a total of 166 hours of work. Since the program does not require the students to do the internship within the United States, which means they can choose to do wherever they want, as long as the position, the type of internship is related to intercultural communications or has elements that can be applied to that field. As I talked to some of the second-year students, the internships they did in summer 2013 were situated across geographic maps: China, United States (Seattle, Philadelphia), Philippine, Uganda, etc. So there is literally no limits for us to choose which place we want to do complete the internship. As for me, I always want to explore something new, and I LOVE travelling. When I knew that Penn does provide its students the opportunity to intern abroad, I was so excited. I did some research on IIP, looking up its website and reading some of the past participants' experiences of committing themselves in an internship placed in a completely different environment. I thought they were amazing.<br />
<br />
IIP has programs covered wide range of areas, including business, education, design, engineer, finance, medicine and etc. It partners with for-profit, non-profit and non governmental organizations. The best deal, which I think most of the students will be drawn to, is that each intern will receive an award to offset their internship-related expenses, covering their housing and air fare, funded by the University of Pennsylvania. Therefore, unlike other organizations that need applicants to afford their own expenses, IIP provides such benefits to students as long as they are chosen by the school as well as the company that they applied for the internship. As it says on the flyer that "these global opportunities allow students to apply the academic knowledge they have obtained, while enriching their overall Penn experience with diverse cultural and international exposure and valuable work experience". After the session, it deepened my understanding of what I can possibly gain from this program, and it made me more determined about applying for it during next summer. Considering that the program is for both undergraduate and graduate, the competition might be very high. In order to apply, one has to submit online application, along with resume, cover letter, two recommendation letters (with one from a professor that graded the applicant) and transcripts. So it might not be that easy to get successfully selected just like some other organizations (probably because you throw money in). But anyway, it is a great chance to have an exploration while enriching personal experiences as well as academic knowledge.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01237352298056704850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7303526721263681705.post-90075165978268524842013-11-22T21:35:00.000-08:002013-11-22T21:35:07.588-08:00Episode 22--ICC mixer for dinnerI just had a fun time dining at Tap House, with some of the first-year and second-year ICC students. It was great to bond over with those familiar faces who are currently doing their second year, and to meet new friends that I haven't been able to get to know them in previous events. Unfortunately, only four first-year students came, including me. I guess the rest of them are struggling to get their paper done before the incoming due day. ( choosing professors is very important.) Given that most of the attendees are second-year, we talked a lot about their courses, professors, internships and their future plans. it was a great way not only to be informed of things that we'd better know before making decisions, but also to be able to draw from others' experiences and reflect on our own. And since my program is pretty small, with only 15 people in my cohort, it is easy for us to bond and have such social get-together after the school. The events that ICCers have participated included the intercultural Thanksgiving lunch at GIC, the Halloween party at GSC, with some of the second-year ICCers as staff members, and also the first blog about ICC mixer at the beginning of the semester etc. Therefore, the opportunities for ICCers to socialize and form a close cohort relationship are abundant. If you enjoy such kind of students' relationships, my program is a good one to consider.<br />
