Sichuan University (March 15)

Mabel and Wang Jian picked me up from my apartment at 11:30 a.m. to go to Sichuan University in Chengdu. On the way there, we stopped for milk tea. Once we arrived at the university, we toured the campus. The weather was beautiful. The sun was shining and it was warm.

From the university, Mabel's cousin drove us to the entrance of a park nearby, but there was an entrance fee, so Mabel and I walked by the river instead.

Mabel and I stopped at a restaurant to have a small snack. We ordered some seafood and she helped me with my Chinese homework. It felt nice to sit out in the open.

We returned to the university to meet up with everyone again. I fell asleep in the car. I was so exhausted from all my trips. Around 6:30 p.m., Mabel, her husband, her cousin, her husband and I went to dinner at a very fancy restaurant. I felt underdressed, but I couldn't do anything about it. The food was extremely tasty, but at point, Mabel's cousin's husband asked the waitresses to give me a fork and knife because I wasn't using the chopsticks well. I felt so embarrassed. When I returned home, I cleaned my room, worked on my blog and homework, and went to sleep.
