Finally here!

On registration day, I sat in the mini van rented by my sister and felt nervous and excited at the same time. Suddenly, the Sterling Memorial Library caught my eye. It is the biggest and the most ancient library I have ever seen. " Finally here!" I said it to myself. This is the place that I looked forward to for nearly three months. 

Sterling Memorial Library and me

Rotating ladder in Saybrook College

Saybrook College, opened in 1933, is different from other colleges by its two courtyards. All the buildings are made from rock. They are so breathtaking and just like those in Harry Potter! This is the place I am going to live for these six weeks. It took a great effort for me to find the entryway of my room since the arrangement is just like a maze. When getting in the entryway, I found that the stairs are even more amazing than the outward of the architectures. It is a circular stairway. The width of it can only let one person pass. The floors are gray and mottled. The walls are dark red and I feel like I am passing the time back to 1950’s whenever I walk on these stairs. In my room, I can see the courtyard through the windows; hear the twittering from birds in the morning. I love the place where I live.

In my first impression, the Sterling Memorial Library is a symbol for Yale. It is stately, towering, and ancient. This is the place I planed to come. Although I only have six weeks here, I believe it is long enough for me to make myself like a student with Yale temperament.
