1348: Hell Professor McCarthy (1 More)
Continuing to be an alumni in a foreign country, Ning Xue was not too enthusiastic about Xia Xiaolan.
Xia Xiaolan is not disappointed, this is what Ning Xue should look like, the flower of the high mountains!
It seems that Ning Xue is really suitable for Cornell University. Cornell University's undergraduate major in architecture has won the first place in the United States. Every year, it recruits students from all over the world, no more than Huaqing Architecture Department... strong With the gathering, Ning Xue should have a new opponent.
Ning Xue quickly walked with her new classmates. They were discussing the homework assigned by Professor McCarthy. This was a study group.
Xia Xiaolan also took Professor McCarthy's class. She and Ning Xue's class schedules largely overlapped. Ning Xue had to take credits, and some courses had to be taken. Xia Xiaolan came to exchange and study for a year, and naturally she had to choose a big-name professor. The class, Fang did not live up to the toss of going abroad.
"Then we still have to deal with it?"
She was distracted by Ning Xue, and the front of the car tilted. Several professional books were thick and heavy, and fell out of the basket.
Xia Xiaolan was about to bend over, but a pair of hands had already picked up the book for her.
With golden brown hair and gray eyes, Xia Xiaolan is not short anymore, she has to look up at this person... She estimated in her heart that this is a little taller than her family Chengzi.
Is a big handsome guy.
Handsome guys with tall noses and deep eyes are everywhere in the United States, especially at the New York airport, which is the most obvious feeling. After all, it is the largest city in the United States. Handsome guys and beauties from all over the world are running towards New York, trying to realize their "American Dream" in this city. .
"Architecture? Hey, I don't think I've met you, Danny, hotel management."
Hospitality Management is Cornell University's ace major.
The architecture major is the first in the United States, and the hotel management major can compete for the first in the world.
Others are very friendly, and Xia Xiaolan didn't turn away people thousands of miles away. "I'm an exchange student from China. You can call me Xia. It's always difficult to pronounce our Chinese names correctly."
Self-mockery is indeed a good way to open up a social situation. Danny couldn't help laughing and pointed to a group of people behind him:
"A group of us are going to solve our own lunch, would you like to join?"
Xia Xiaolan originally wanted to continue to visit the campus, or take a walk in the town.
Danny warmly invited her, and Xia Xiaolan couldn't keep contact with other students forever, so she readily agreed.
She has no problem with her spoken language and is not introverted, and she quickly talked to this group of people.
It is very easy to make friends in the United States. Anyone who is pleasing to the eye can chat with the sky. Introverted and reserved is not a virtue, but will be rejected. Danny has a group of seven or eight people, basically all of them majoring in hotel management.
Xia Xiaolan has not yet mixed with the students majoring in architecture, and has already entered the circle of hotel management majors.
This was also beyond Xia Xiaolan's surprise.
The proportion of handsome men and women in the hotel management major is very high. Danny and the others have a lunch at the school cafeteria. The school cafeteria has cheap student buffets. Danny and others say it is not delicious.
“Good burger set.”
Danny said this, and said that Xia Xiaolan was a new friend and he was willing to pay for Xia Xiaolan's meal.
Oh, everyone eats aa, each pays his own money, and Xia Xiaolan is already mentally prepared.
She didn't make a big deal of saying that she treated guests, and making friends was not made by throwing money.
Besides, what kind of money did she throw in front of Danny and the others?
Xia Xiaolan didn't think they were very poor even if they didn't eat cheap buffets, they had to eat burgers and sandwiches set for $3 per person.
But she insisted on paying her own share. The social rules here are like this, and Xia Xiaolan didn't want others to think that Huaguo students were greedy.
"ok, ok, you have the final say!"
Danny didn't force it.
Xia Xiaolan is a new acquaintance, and everyone's attention is on her during a meal, and they are all very interested in her.
Knowing that Xia Xiaolan only came to exchange and study for a year, a girl named Nancy regretted: "Xia, you should try to stay and finish your undergraduate degree, Cornell's undergraduate architecture major is great, you will get what you want here. !"
Are there any good universities in Huaguo?
These people are completely unimpressive.
The strength of the United States is the strongest in the world, and universities are naturally the best. Americans have this confidence.
"Thank you, Nancy, I'll consider it."
Undergraduate at Cornell?
Like Ning Xue, it's more or less the same. If Xia Xiaolan wants to completely leave the good situation in the country, she can't do it.
One year is already the limit, and no matter how much time there is, it will interrupt her career planning.
Exchange students are publicly funded. If Chinese students want to stay in the United States for a long time, how can they live without applying for the full award? Seeing Xia Xiaolan's broken watch, Danny exaggeratedly changed the subject:
"Xia, you are just here for your sophomore year, so you must take Professor McCarthy's course? God testifies, he is the great devil of your architecture major! The difficulty of hell is very demanding. I know a friend who said that he was taught by Professor McCarthy. The price of getting a is that the hair volume is reduced by half!"
Xia Xiaolan couldn't help feeling her ponytail, she was not lacking in nutrition, her hair was black and shiny, and she was quite satisfied with her hair.
half off?
Can she drop Professor McCarthy's class now?
Danny is not kidding, Professor McCarthy's "fame" has radiated out of the School of Architecture, and even hotel majors have heard of Professor McCarthy's perversion... Oh no, it's strict!
Nancy also voted for Xia Xiaolan
Compassionate glance.
Happiness comes from a foil. Nancy suddenly felt that she was very happy to study hotel management. She and Danny talked about the previous vacation internship and said what the Wilson Hotel was. Xia Xiaolan's ears moved.
Which Wilson?
Not so coincidental!
However, there are so many "Wilsons" in the United States, and Xia Xiaolan did not ask any further questions. She was still more worried about her own tomorrow-tomorrow she would have a class with Professor McCarthy, which was terrifying.
After parting with Danny and the others, Xia Xiaolan returned to Wen's house.
Seeing that she had even bought the textbooks, Professor Wen couldn't help sighing, "Forgot to tell you that you can buy old textbooks."
"Saving time is the most important thing, let's buy old textbooks next semester. I heard today that Professor McCarthy is very strict. Do you know him?"
Professor Wen paused, "I almost forgot, you're going to take McCarthy's class... What do you think about your teacher's temper?"
Mao Kangshan's temper?
The gun battle was ignited at one point, and it was rare to be kind to Xia Xiaolan. This was not summed up by Xia Xiaolan herself, but said by Senior Brother Zhou Maotong in a nostalgic tone.
However, Mao Kangshan, whose attack power has declined, is usually easy to talk, but once he enters the teaching mode, he often scolds Xia Xiaolan.
"so……"
"So Professor McCarthy, a mean version of your teacher's temper heyday."
Add a mean attribute to Mao Kangshan?
Xia Xiaolan's scalp was tingling, "What should I do?"
Professor Wen took out a copy of "Structural Elements" from the textbook she bought today.
"My suggestion is that you preview Professor McCarthy's writings in advance. There are still 15 hours before you listen to Professor McCarthy's class for the first time."
