Unlike learning humanities in China,it was not secure repetition but shaky originally here.Besides,I was not confident with using English,the non-native language for me, to have discussions and take notes.

It was midnight and I still sat in the library seat,surrounding with eerily silence,fluorescent light and smelling of musty books and sweaty sneakers.I felt sleepy but I could not leave because I have a great many of tasks to do.This was a weekend night and all of my American room mates have gone on dates,while I had no choice but to date with William Shakespeare.

Through my diligence and persistent efforts(visiting tutors to examine my papers,longering after every class to question professors and borrowing notes or learning the skill of note-taking in English from my classmates),every paper of mine came back with an A.
