Decision made-Caltech

昨天晚上，哥哥决定接受加州理工的录取，成为他们2014届的学生。哥哥上个星期去普林斯顿大学体验生活，觉得学校也很好，可是他还是更喜欢加州理工。决定做出来了，我们全家都很高兴。昨晚去了他喜欢的“红龙虾”餐馆吃饭，以示庆祝。

David has decided to accept Caltech's offer and will be a member of their Class 2014. He visited Princeton for two days last week. Though he likes Princeton a lot, he still feels very strongly towards Caltech. At the end, we are all very happy about his decision and celebrated the event at David's favorite restaurant "Red Lobster".
