The Extraordinarily Ordinary Lawn
Walking along the aisle connecting Our Lady’s wing and the library, the wind gently fondles my face. The freshness of grass wraps around me and slowly creeps into my nostril. The big verdurous lawn appears gradually with my pace of walking. It seems extraordinarily exquisite today. Different memories evoke right in front of my eyes as if it was only yesterday that I was still a freshman in this secondary school.
While I am walking to the front of the side of the library glasses, the uneven herbage brushes and kissed my ankle. Standing in front of the huge glasses, every detailed part inside the library is shown clearly as if the glasses do not exist.

The edge of the yellowish wallpaper inside is peeling off. The traces of chalk are all over the blackboard. Opposite to the blackboard, there are a few juniors having lunch quietly under the desolate spinning fan. Others are having a good time with friends outside the corridors, with a bright smile hanging on their faces. I can still hear their laughter miles away from them. But there is one class that catches my attention. There is not any empty seat in that classroom. Everyone is sitting up straight while listening to the teacher standing in their front. They should be making use of their lunch time to catch up what they have missed. Whenever the teacher asks a question, more than half of the students raise their hands enthusiastically to answer the question. However, some of them at the back are murmuring to one another, trying not to be caught because of chatting. And some are being lackadaisical while staring at the mountains outside the windows until the extra lesson …show more content…
I have never realized how astonishing an ordinary dawn can be. The lawn is not as bright as before but the statue of Mary is still glowing. Looking at the pure white statue of Mary provides a soothing and calming effect. Its reflections on the pond below are glimmering in waves. I find some little goldfish swimming tirelessly inside. When they reach the boundary of the pond, they turn around and keep swimming. They never stop swimming until they can swim out of the pond. A warm breeze embraces my body as if comforting my soul. I take a look at the lawn again. I have never felt more peaceful than then and I know I am going to miss this

    Today, at an archaeological site on the West side of the ancient town of Mt. Pleasant, in a living complex known as Tallgrass, we have made an interesting and rare discovery.

There is an emblem that appears to be painted onto the front of a flaming circle, with two lines separating the circle into four pieces. The object seems to have handles on the left and ride sides, with the rest of the body arching between the handles in an upward fashion.…

    Last October I participated in the Dartmouth Native Fly-In Program and while I was visiting I made a trip to the third floor of the Dartmouth library. I remember this experience quite well because out of all the wonderful memories I made on that trip, this was the one experience that had the greatest impact on me. I remember walking into the library where old, frail books lined the walls with dark, mahogany bookcases stretching high. There were antique lamps on the desks that let off just enough light for one person to study under and floors that creaked loud enough to draw attention to my friends and I. We finally reached the center of the library where I saw a bronze Native American sculpture that I recognized from a museum I have visited many times here in Oklahoma.…

    It was something I did not plan for. For instance in the listening micro lesson, some of them asked questions or asked me to rewind the audio file while they were supposed to be listening to it and do not disturb their colleagues. I have learned that I have to put some rules from the beginning of the session. For instance, I should tell students to write down their questions and wait till the end of the audio file. Besides, these like-real situations helped me to be more comfortable standing up in front of…
