造訪大學-假期-旅游

Spring breaks were always used to pay back my sleep debt for burning the midnight oil on a regular basis.

過去的每個春假，我都是用來彌補平日經常熬夜所造成的眨眼不足。

This year was different.My parents,counselors,and friends all encouraged me to go visit colleges.I thought,"those tedious application forms and essays were a pain,now I have to give up a week of vacation touring the USA?"

今年就不同了。我的父母，老師和朋友們都鼓勵我去參觀大學。我在想“那些麻煩的申請表和介紹的文章已經把我折騰死了，現在我還要放棄一周的假期來周游美國嗎?”

I went.Visiting 7 schools in 5 days was a great feat in itself.My mother and I first flew to San Francisco and rented a car.That day,we went to UC Berkeley and Stanford.On day 2,we drove all the way down to LA.Day 3 is for visiting UCLA and USC.We flew across the continent to the east coast,arriving in Boston at midnight.The next day,we toured MIT and Harvard for a while,then drove to Newark,New Jersey for the night.On the last day,we saw U Penn in Philadelphia before catching the plane back to our home in Texas.

我還是去了。在5天參訪7個學校本身就是不容易之事。我和母親先飛到舊金山并租了一輛車。當天我們去了加州柏克萊大學和史丹佛大學。第二天我們一路開車到洛杉機。第三天是參觀加州洛杉機大學和南加大。我們飛越了美洲大陸來到了東岸，午夜時到達波士頓。隔天，我們支了麻省理工學院和哈佛大學一小段時間，然后開車到紐澤西州的紐華克過夜。最后一天，在搭飛機回德克蕯斯的家之前，我們去看了位于費城的賓州大學。

The tour showed me waht different colleges were like.It was a valuable experience,even though in the end,none of them accepted my application.

這趟旅行讓我看到不同的大學是什么樣子。雖然到最后，這些學校中沒有一所綠取我，但這仍然是一次寶貴的經驗。
