Last Day in Sheffield

Today is the last day in Sheffield. Of course I am reluctant to leave. Although the period staying in Sheffield is short, there is a strong bond grown within my heart with this place - Nice and peaceful environment, friendly and helpful local people and lovely weather. I repeat myself my praising of Sheffield over and over again. To recall back, Sheffield is more peaceful than any other cities like Cardiff, Glasgow and Liverpool. Somehow, I feel secured walking in the city centre although it is late in night. Unfortunately, two friends of mine were robbed. I believe there are more than 2 cases of robbery among the summer course students. Guess they were so unlucky.

Last 2 night, I went to take photos with a group of friends near to Wheel of Sheffield. A group of drunken boys and girls passed us by. They scolded us bastard and said that we cannot be trusted. I guess what they mean is Chinese is untrustworthy. At that moment, I am sad but not angry at all. My other friends were so angry and complained. However, I agree with what they think about Chinese's trustworthiness. I really want to know how white people think about Chinese?

Yesterday, I did not attend the farewell party. Supposed I should be there to go for the announcement of winner of blogging competition. Anyway, I lost. When Andrew listed top 3 nominees, my friend called me to come to the party immediately. While i was preparing, he called again and gave me the bad news. I am disappointed. But later while I was facebook-ing, my friends told me the whole process. I do not know who told me the truth. One said there were only 3 participants. So I was in top 3. Shit! Another said I wasin top 3. Of course it would be happier to be in top 3 list. Anyway, I felt delighted with their supports during the announcement. I was the representative of Building Construction Management course. ^^
