造访大学-假期-旅游
Spring breaks were always used to pay back my sleep debt for burning the midnight oil on a regular basis.
过去的每个春假，我都是用来弥补平日经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 1 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，老师和朋友们都鼓励我去参观大学。我在想“那些麻烦的申请表和介绍的文章已经把我折腾死了，现在我还要放弃一周的假期来周游美国吗？”
I went.Visiting 7 schools in 5 days was a great feat 2 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 3 for the night.On the last day,we saw U Penn in Philadelphia before catching 4 the plane back to our home in Texas.
我还是去了。在5天参访7个学校本身就是不容易之事。我和母亲先飞到旧金山并租了一辆车。当天我们去了加州柏克莱大学和史丹佛大学。第二天我们一路开车到洛杉机。第三天是参观加州洛杉机大学和南加大。我们飞越了美洲大陆来到了东岸，午夜时到达波士顿。隔天，我们支了麻省理工学院和哈佛大学一小段时间，然后开车到纽泽西州的纽华克过夜。最后一天，在搭飞机回德克蕯斯的家之前，我们去看了位于费城的宾州大学。
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.
这趟旅行让我看到不同的大学是什么样子。虽然到最后，这些学校中没有一所绿取我，但这仍然是一次宝贵的经验。
