Continuing to be an alumni in a foreign country, Ning Xue was not too enthusiastic about Xia Xiaolan.
Xia Xiaolan is not lost either, this is what Ning Xue should look like, the flower of Gaoling!
It seems that Ning Xue is really suitable for Cornell University. Cornell University's undergraduate degree in architecture has won the first place in the United States. Every year, it recruits students from all over the world, no more than Huaqing Architecture Department strong With the gathering of opponents, Ning Xue should have a new opponent.
Ning Xue soon walked by with her new classmates. What they were talking about was the homework assigned by Professor McCarthy. This is a study group.
Xia Xiaolan also wants to take Professor McCarthy's class. Her and Ning Xue's schedules overlap to a large extent. Ning Xue needs to take credits, and some courses have to be taken. Xia Xiaolan comes to exchange and study for a year, so naturally she has to choose a famous professor Only then can I live up to the trouble of going abroad.
"Then we still have to deal with each other?"
She was distracted by Ning Xue, the front of the car tilted, and several thick and heavy professional books fell out of the car basket.
Xia Xiaolan was about to bend down when a pair of hands picked up the book for her.
With golden-brown hair and gray eyes, Xia Xiaolan is no longer short, but she has to look up at this man She calculated in her heart that he was taller than her Chengzi.
He is a handsome guy.
There are many handsome men with tall noses and deep eyes in the United States, especially at the New York airport. After all, it is the largest city in the United States. Handsome men and beautiful women from all over the world are running towards New York, trying to realize their "American dream" in this city. .
"Architecture? Hey, I don't think I've met you, Danny. Hospitality."
Hotel management is the ace major of Cornell University.
The major of architecture is the first in the United States, and the major of hotel management can compete for the first in the world.
Others are very friendly, and Xia Xiaolan didn't refuse people thousands of miles away, "I am an exchange student from Huaguo. You can call me Xia. It is always difficult for us Huaguo people to pronounce their names correctly."
Self-mockery is indeed a good way to open up social situations, Danny couldn't help laughing, and pointed to a group of people behind him:
"A group of us are going to solve our own lunch, would you like to join?"
Xia Xiaolan originally wanted to continue to visit the campus, or take a walk in the town.
Danny warmly invited her, and it was impossible for Xia Xiaolan to never get in touch with other students, so she readily agreed.
She has no problem with spoken English, and she is not introverted, so she quickly talked to this group of people.
?It is very easy to make friends in the United States, and you can chat with whoever is pleasing to the eye. Introversion and reservedness are not a virtue, but they will be rejected. There are seven or eight people in Danny's group, basically all of them are majors in hotel management.
Xia Xiaolan has not yet gotten along with the students majoring in architecture, but has already entered the circle of majoring in hotel management.
This also surprised Xia Xiaolan.
The proportion of handsome men and beautiful women in the hotel management major is very high. Danny and his lunch gathering is in the school cafeteria. The school cafeteria has a cheap student buffet. Danny and others say it is not delicious.
"The burger set is good."
Danny said so, and said that Xia Xiaolan was a new friend, and he was willing to pay Xia Xiaolan's share of the meal.
Oh, everyone eats aa, everyone pays their own money, Xia Xiaolan has long been mentally prepared.
She didn't pretense that she treats guests, and she doesn't make friends by throwing money.
What's more, what kind of money did she throw in front of people like Danny?
Don't eat cheap buffets, but eat hamburgers and sandwiches for $3 a customer. Xia Xiaolan doesn't think they are very poor.
But she insisted on paying her own share. The social rules here are like this, Xia Xiaolan doesn't want others to think that Huaguo students are greedy for petty gains.
"Okay, ok, you have the final say!"
Danny didn't force it.
Xia Xiaolan is a new acquaintance, and everyone's attention is on her during the meal, and they are all very interested in her.
Knowing that Xia Xiaolan only came to exchange and study for a year, a girl named Nancy felt very sorry: "Xia, you should try to stay and finish your undergraduate studies. Cornell's undergraduate architecture major is great, and you will get what you want here. !"
Are there any good universities in Huaguo?
These people are completely unimpressed.
The strength of the United States is the strongest in the world, and its universities are naturally the best. Americans have this confidence.
"Thank you, Nancy, I'll think about it."
Finished undergrad at Cornell?
It's not bad to be as carefree as Ning Xue. If Xia Xiaolan completely puts aside the good situation in the country, she willCan't do it.
One year is already the limit, and no amount of time will interrupt her career planning.
Exchange students are paid by the public. If Huaguo students want to stay in the United States for a long time, how can they live without applying for a full scholarship? Danny saw Xia Xiaolan's broken watch before she had time to change it, and changed the subject in an exaggerated tone:
"Xia, you happen to be a sophomore here, so you have to take Professor McCarthy's class? God testify, he is the big devil of your architecture major! The high requirements of hell difficulty, I know a friend, he said that he was taught by Professor McCarthy. The price for getting an A is that the amount of hair is cut in half!"
Xia Xiaolan couldn't help touching her ponytail. She didn't lack nutrition, and her hair was black and shiny. She was quite satisfied with her hair.
Drop half?
Can she drop Professor McCarthy's class now?
Danny is not joking, Professor McCarthy's "prestige" has radiated to the School of Architecture, and even the hotel major has heard of Professor McCarthy's abnormality Oh no, it is severe!
Nancy also cast a sympathetic look at Xia Xiaolan.
Happiness is only when there is a backdrop. Nancy suddenly felt that studying hotel management is still very happy. She and Danny talked about the previous vacation internship and what Wilson Hotel was, and Xia Xiaolan moved her ears.
Which Wilson?
It can't be such a coincidence!
However, there are so many "Wilsons" in the United States, Xia Xiaolan didn't ask, she was still more worried about her tomorrow - tomorrow she will have Professor McCarthy's class, it is simply too scary.
After parting from Danny and the others, Xia Xiaolan returned to Wen's house.
Seeing that she even bought the textbooks, Professor Wen couldn't help sighing, "I forgot to tell you that you can buy old textbooks."
"Saving time is the top priority. Let's buy old textbooks next semester. I heard today that Professor McCarthy is very strict. Do you know him well?"
Professor Wen paused, "I almost forgot, you are going to take McCarthy's class What do you think of your teacher's temper?"
Mao Kangshan's temper?
The firecrackers ignited at one o'clock, and it was rare for Xia Xiaolan to be friendly. This was not summed up by Xia Xiaolan herself, but it was said by Zhou Maotong with a nostalgic tone.
However, Mao Kangshan, whose attack power has declined, is usually easy to talk, but once he enters the teaching mode, he often scolds Xia Xiaolan bloody.
"so¡¡"
"So Professor McCarthy is a mean version of your teacher in his prime."
Add another mean attribute to Mao Kangshan?
Xia Xiaolan's scalp was already numb, "What should I do?"
Professor Wen took out a copy of "Structural Elements" from the textbooks she bought today.
"My suggestion is that you preview the works of Professor McCarthy in advance. There are still 15 hours before you listen to Professor McCarthy's class." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
