Section 8 Goodbye New York
Goodbye New York
In recent days, New York has suffered a blizzard, the snow began to fall in the afternoon, because the temperature was as low as minus 160, so the rain was all granular, very dense, plus the wind that often blows in New York, the snow is like blowing sand, it hurts very much on the face, for a time the world is chaotic, and there is no beauty without sprinkling.
There were no pedestrians on the road that night, and I didn't go out early. When I woke up the next day, I saw that the snow was very thick outside the windowsill, and when I looked down, the yard was half a foot thick. I'm excited to see the snow, and I'm going to Central Park to see the snow. For the sake of convenience, I deliberately wore a small down jacket, but it was so cold that for the first time I knew that the sun was shining, it was as cold as an ice cellar, and the temperature was only -21 degrees that morning.
Central Park is full of skiing, and this is also a scene in New York, where families can be seen skiing with their children whenever it snows.
The snow made me happy, but the air was so cold that I couldn't stand it. Therefore, Xiao was happy for a while and went home.
Based on the experience of the past few months, New York is rarely cloudy, so now there are no pedestrians on the streets, all fire trucks shoveling snow, and I think soon the roads should be snow-free. In fact, the next few days were all cloudy, and the road became a natural skating rink. I had no choice but to go out, and I walked a few steps, but I really didn't have the courage to continue walking. There were people falling down on the road from time to time, and this was because the side of Manhattan where we lived was full of hillsides, and the ice was immobile, both up and down. I had to go to the shops on 124th Street, which was only 10 minutes away, and I walked for 40 minutes to 123rd Street, thinking about how slippery it was. When I saw another person falling, I didn't dare to move forward anymore. I
New York was cloudy for the next few days, with many flights grounded at the airport and Wednesday's flight delayed until Saturday. My plane was still cloudy on the 9th and 7th and the temperature was still between -20 degrees. I'm worried that my plane will be delayed as well.
I got up early in the morning on the 9th and saw that the sky was a little brighter. I didn't receive a notification on my phone that the plane was postponed, so I prepared to fly today. I woke up before 8 o'clock, and I was going out to see New York. It was colder in the morning, with temperatures of -21 degrees when going out. When I walked into the street, I didn't see many pedestrians, all of whom were so cold that they buried their faces in their collars. Brave the cold I went to the roadside park and then to the Cathedral of the Gods. In addition to the staff in the hall, I stood on the cross of Jesus, and once again wept excitedly: God, your darling is going back to China today. I must ask you for forgiveness for all his impetuosity and all his transgressions, and I will repent of all his sins, and may you condemn me for my sake, and let me suffer for him. Give him a chance to do what he originally wanted to do, and don't give up on his original pursuit. If it doesn't go well for him, I'll be more miserable. I will definitely take good care of myself, do my duty, live happily, and try not to let you worry about me.
Then, this time, I carefully learned what I saw at Mass that night, drew a cross on my chest and said, "Goodbye, I'm leaving, your darling is going back to China."
I'm very serious about what I did today, and I'm very excited about the whole process.
After leaving the church, I came to the campus of Columbia University, which was quieter in the mornings during the winter break, and there were still a few students who came to campus in the cold. I walked quietly, watching, thinking. Reminiscing about the time I spent here, reminiscing about the most beautiful clouds I saw here. The campus is as clean as a wash, and the purple bricks have always been a favorite of me, so I took another photograph.
I stood in front of the statue of the queen again, this time just looking at her silently. Think of how many outstanding students from all over the world she has witnessed here, passing by under her gaze every day, and going from her to the world after completing their studies.
I am fortunate to have been under your gaze in this life. Thank God for giving me the opportunity to spend an unforgettable time on such a beautiful campus. Goodbye, Columbia University.
As soon as I walked forward to the road leading to the outside of the school, I suddenly thought of something, and I turned to the statue of the queen again, and said sincerely: Bear with him, give him a chance to stay here and study, he will be sober, and he will not disappoint Columbia.
Goodbye Columbia, goodbye New York.
