Grace的進修雜記:)

There is an old saying " April showers bring May flowers”

This April, I walk in the rain a lot since the sky is turning cloudy after chilly morning temperture sets in.

Spring break starts with cherry blossoms.

There are several spots available for Cherry Blossoms in Portland, and Tom McCall Waterfront Park is the closest one to me.

On March 1st, my 103 years old grandma began her new journey.

At least I was able to visit her during my short summer trip home.

The winter storm made the city almost back to lock down mode.

Campus closed early since Wed evening through Friday, February 24, due to inclement weather.

People might think that studying abroad is like dream come true, but the fact is that not everything works the way it should be.

I was lucky to have a chance to step away from lab to get some fresh air!

Around the end of Lunar New Year is about time for Portland Winter Light Festival to start,Feb. 3–11, 2023.

This year I don't want to go at night since it may be more visitors around.

It feels good when I know that I got a care package coming soon.

When the tracking number shows the package was delivered, I keep waiting for the package notification from my apartment.

Miao Fa Temple is a Buddish temple , this is a good  place for me to get some blessings when I am feeling down.

Writing the New Year's Resolution was one of the assignment when I was a child.

My new year's resolution is to exercise at least once a week so I can get in shape.

Due to the inclement weather, it is better and safer to stay put for the holiday season.

My university sent out an Alert message : 

Campus will be closed on Friday, December 23, 2022 due to expected inclement weather.

Past years I heard friends talking about how beautiful the zoo light, but I did not have a chance to see it in person. 

This year I was able to join the international student group and enjoyed taking pictures of the zoo lights.

Lucky me to have lots energy for anither year!

On my birthday, I got few text from lab friends. Have an awesome day for sure.

Happy Heavenly Birthday!

I wasn't able to process the news when I received the audio call on Nov 18th.
