A couple of years ago, I decided it was time to take a break. I was about to ,and I wanted to reward myself for all those college years.

As I was curiously different websites and guidebooks, getting ready for my little adventure, I that besides getting all the necessities, I also needed to get a sun .

When I got to the shop, it occurred to me that in the middle of planning my ,I somehow hadn’t paid much attention to the calendar. It was Feb.14, and Valentine’s fever had the whole shopping center.

I finally a rack(货架) with summer hats hanging on it .I walked over and tried on a couple. I really liked one .I just couldn’t decide whether I wanted to get the one with a pink ribbon or a blue ribbon decoratively around it.

“You looked really great on those hats, ”a middle-aged man there waiting to be helped…and said to me.
