I wish you enough...

可憐如我.早上5:00起床洗頭洗澡.準備搭第一班HSR到高雄
前一晚的氣象預報顯示高雄最高溫有28度.光是想到就快暈了
anyhow...上車前我的民生問題得先解決!

史上最鳥的一天...
一早起來發覺昨天晚上還好好的U5F再也不能開機了(少了什麼鬼hal.dll檔)
台北場講課普通(不過看到熟悉的面孔真令人開心)

今天是到台中中興大學講"全民英檢輔考"的日子.真的是神奇的一天.請看倌們聽我娓娓道來...

首先是我在火車站的時候.竟然遇到了高中同學李華彥

話說上個星期我放大假在家.胃痛又悄悄地回來找上我
好不容易熬過了週末.星期一我趁上課前衝去腸胃科拿了藥回家
吃了一天的藥之後.症狀有一些些減輕

1. TKT衝刺班講師
2. 拍宣傳照

今天先跟Jill還有Yvonne在FE 21'的SKYLARK中餐...只能說是"大失所望"!
接著去看George Clooney主演的"Up In The Air".個人覺得還不錯
裡面有個可愛的橋段"Do you want the cancer?"(其實是"Do you want the can, sir?")就跟super salad(其實是super or salad)一樣是完美的發音教材

回台倒數83天
M.A. TESOL Conference倒數29天

I know I've said that it was my longest day on many many Thursdays!
But now, I really have to admit that all I'd said was crap because today was officially my LONGEST day EVER!!!
You could definitely tell that from the 2 huge & heavy bags I was carrying around.

今天又是本月最後一個星期六.照慣例我到Parkmerced的Farmers' Market去
正好是Annual Harvest Festival.大家都沉浸在Halloween的歡樂氣氛中
首先有hayride.兩匹馬的腳毛茸茸的很可愛

我double-standard超嚴重的二房東今天又發表了他的高見.主題是廁所洗手台裡的小濾網
小濾網的出現是因為(according to him)暑假的時候他跟plumber一起清出了很多"woman's hair"(i.e. MY hair)
可是每次當我早上去刷牙洗臉的時候.都會發現跟他髮色一樣顏色的短髮跟鬍渣散落在洗手台上...FINE!

Columbus Day
今天沒課.可是我早早就打扮好準備出門
後來陰錯陽差地不用赴約.我還是決定要出門走走

昨天晚上喝了猛然喝完一瓶啤酒.又做了青醬通心粉沙拉之後
 
我"終於"開始看7份ENG 310學生的作文

天氣　晴
昨天喝了1瓶啤酒倒下去睡著後一個夢也沒做.所以今天早上可以毫無掙扎地起床
梳洗後唸了一篇10頁的文章.就出門到Parkmerced的Farmers' Market(這是每個月的最後一個星期六我會做的例行公事)

I didn't wake up as early as I had expected.
Still, I made it to McDonald's and had an AWESOME breakfast there.
(I was so full that I had to skip my lunch!)

I like the first day of the month because it indicates a new start for me.

In the morning, I went to the school library to check out a book & make some copies.

It was my FIRST day being the Conversation Group Leader for ALI; fortunately, it went well (at least, in my point of view!)
The students were cute & YOUNG; they're Shirley (from Nanjing, China), Annie (from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam), Leo (from Liaoning, China) & Joe (from Taipei, Taiwan).
Hopefully, things will get better & better later on!

It was a really SUNNY day; HOWEVER...

Finally Dr. Jain set the date for midterm of Phonology & Morphology, which is Mar. 17th.

I went to Sunset Area today to look for Shupao & buy some bread from Sheng Kee.
Then I went to the bookstore on campus to get the ISBN of the last textbook for next semester, but didn't make it.
Finally, I went to Ocean View Supermarket, with a hope to get Supao but it was all IN VAIN.

今天早上起來.很認份地吃著"生計"買回來的芋頭麵包.有點小失望.因為頗遜...
再加上我喝的是Berkeley Farms的遜腳牛奶.所以整個早餐吃得我心情低落-_-
後來就聽了英文.背了一堆單字之後竟然就中午了.我就開始吃起香蕉.再做義大利麵吃

I finished my milk yesterday, so after Dr. Jain's class, I bought myself a vegetarin sandwich for breakfast from Cafe Rosso.
This is the most HORRIBLE decision I've ever made because there were so many things I don't like inside that HUGE sandwich...mushrooms, alfalfa sprout, and mashed avocado...
To make matters worse, I drank a cup of cafe au lait and had a TERRIBLE stomachache...
