Last Thursday I celebrated my 22nd birthday. Renee, my SMU roommate from last spring, bought me a birthday cake to celebrate on Wenesday night. Thursday night, members of the student service center on campus thru us a welcome party and I was lucky enough to be given a huge birthday cake at that event as well. Friday night followed with a welcome party from the Marine Transportation program. That week seemed to be one party after another.This last weekend we had another scheduled trip by SMU to a private garden called Jingsi Garden, about 2 hours from the New Campus. We left early in the morning on Saturday and spent most of the day there. It was a typical Chinese garden, although construction began in 1996 and was finished in 2003. The pictures below are from Jingsi Garden.
Following our trip to Jingsi Garden we were dropped off in the city again and spent another night with our old roommates seeing downtown Shanghai and staying in a youth hostel near the Bund. We returned to campus later on Sunday afternoon and yesterday started yet another school week.
