That was the reason why the guy in Subway talked to me in Japanese and then Korean.
That was also the reason why no matter how hard I tried, I still write in a non-native way.
EVERYTHING IS AWFUL!!!

First of all, I'd like to thank Annie, Diana & Iris for their company with me to IKEA.
It 's convenient to go there, actually.
Just take the bart & get off @ MacArthur station, then get on the "BARTSHOPPER" shuttle & you'll be there!
As easy as PIE, isn't it?!
Anyhow...I bought a bowl, a plate, a peeler, a ladel, two tableclothes, a rack (for all the utensils), & most important of all, the FUTON!!!
So happy that my room is way BETTER now!!!
Now I just hope that I won't have much trouble trying to assemble the futon tomorrow!
HOORAY!!!

在Edmonton的時候.Rich跟我幾乎天天都到SAFEWAY去買東西
來到北美洲還沒吃到yoghurt的我在Rich的慫恿之下一連吃了5天的yoghurt
也許大家會覺得yoghurt就是yoghurt.沒什麼特別好寫的
大錯特錯!!!
除了平凡到不能再平凡的strawberry跟peach.我在Edmonton還吃了cherry.strawberry + banana.還有chocolate + raspberry (limited edition)的
結果回到San Francisco後.我在這裡的SAFEWAY看到更多不同口味(同樣也是limited edition的pumpkin pie跟gingerbread)
一時衝動就買了limited edition的Chai Latte(超可怕!!!)還有cranberry orange
再加上普通版的lemon. banana cream跟green tea mango
什麼東西到了美國一定要加大.就連yoghurt也不例外.美國人真是太厲害了!
下次我再吃了什麼新奇的再公諸於世...大家請耐心等候!

這個星期二跟四都到downtown的CCSF上課.因為Bristol Farms有Ocean Spray的特價.所以我也兩天都去...
2罐64 fl. oz.只要4塊錢而已耶...因為手力有限.所以我總共只買了4罐...
我房間身後的架子上有Cran-Raspberry, White Cranberry, Cran-Apple跟White Cran Strawberry
然後今天我在逛的時候發覺有一個奇怪的東方女子.伸手抓熟食區的蝦子吃.於是我就開始跟蹤監視她
她超級會裝模作樣的.後來又跑到另一區抓照燒雞來吃...吃了一塊不夠.到別的地方逛一逛又兜回來再吃一塊
光大化日之下真的是見鬼了!!!
這兩天我都很幸運.一下Powell站立刻就可以上M.連等都不用等
沒想到正當我得意的時候.我們莫名其妙地在West Portal被趕下車
大家都一頭霧水.不過也沒有辦法.只好在大霧+冷風中等待下一班車的到來
MUNI真的是每下愈況了...

來到San Francisco已經3個月了.該是時候寫寫季報告
首先我要先來抱怨一下...
我的眼睛來到美國後就會莫名其妙發疼.而且只有右眼
一開始我先是聯想到之前無端長針眼然後去眼科"挖出來"的可怕經驗.後來發覺不是那麼回事
總之就是眼球.眼眶.整個眼窩都超痛的.一眨就快受不了
於是我又開始幻想會不會有一天我的眼球會爆炸@_@
第二個我要來說說的是SHINE
真的是沒想到10週這麼快就結束了.我才剛開始跟學生混熟.可以聊天耶~
其實我看到其中有些學生是真的很感動.居然有一個已經年過60還天天都到學校上英文課!
所以真的沒什麼事情是不可能的.就是很努力不停地反覆練習."總有一天"一定會看到成效!!!
第三就是這個月要繳下學期的學費了!!!天啊~~~
一眨眼(我很痛的眼)一個學期就這樣結束了耶...時間這個東西真奇妙.在過的時候總是覺得很慢.從裡面跳出來看又覺得快得不可思議
偶爾我會想在這個學期裡我學到了什麼.又變成了一個怎樣的人!?
不過都還沒有答案...就是過一天算一天...
至於為什麼會有這麼消極的想法呢?!實在是因為最近好多事情在to-do list上.每次看到都覺得快吐了
如果11月沒有Thanksgiving的話.我覺得學生一定都活不下去的.我也不敢想像不放假assignment會多多少
不過換個角度想.12月就要來了...美國人超早就開始為Christmas佈置.downtown的店家現在都變成了紅白綠.我覺得完全都是要"刺激消費"
話又說回來.看到一切變成那麼christmasy還蠻開心的!!!哈哈...

First of all, I don't think they've got SUMMER here in San Francisco.
There are only 3 seasons probably-_-
I don't have enough warm clothes because most of them are in Taiwan now and won't be here until mid Dec.
Second of all, these days I've found a serious problem, that is, I was really SLEEPY most of the time.
If you still remember, I had serious sleeping problem back in Taiwan.
I had a hard time falling asleep, was DREAMFUL, and always woke up before the alarm clock.
But now, they are all GONE!!!
Whenever I want to sleep, BANG, I can be fast asleep.
That's the reason why I go to bed at around 8 or 10 in the evening and wake up at 3 or 4 in the morning.
My bed is the COZIEST place in the world and it is RIGHT BEHIND ME!!!
Hopefully, this weird weather could come to an end a.s.a.p.
Otherwise, I think I'll go CRAZY because of my tight schedule & troublesome SLEEPINESS...

剛剛心血來潮突然就打算弄晚餐來吃...
其實很簡單...就是煮了飯然後配safeway買回來的雞翅.炒兩株青江菜再加上蔥花蛋
可是我真的是吃到眼淚快流出來(當然從Farmer's Market買回來的小辣椒也是主因啦:p)
因為我最近總是在"午夜夢迴"時(哈哈...)想起台灣油滋滋的自助餐便當
今天晚上總算吃到了真是太開心了!!!
所以一定要post一篇紀念一下...我又找回做菜煮飯的樂趣了!Oh yeah~

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...
As I was preparing for the test for SLA, I was almost DYING...
Anywayz...the test was just ok, still, I'm glad that class almost comes to an end.
We're going to have two classes off because of the Veterans Day and Thanksgiving week. (HOORAY~)
Tomorrow, I'm going to safeway.
I really have to buy fajita, cheese, and the dip; fajita is my new favorite now...
I'm also trying to be a vegetarian again & so happy to find out that the zits on my face are vanishing...
Can you believe that? Now I do yoga and eat fruits every day!
You know, having my life under CONTROL always make me happy...

Certain things are hard to remember.
For those ideas or concepts from lectures, if I can't understand them, it's difficult to write them down at test.
All I do is to learn by ROTE; then they disappear soon after that very moment.
However, there are things so hard to forget.
It could be a facial expression, a touching sentence, or an instant of LOVE, SADness or disappointment.
For a person like me, not being able to forget so many things is painful...especially when I find out that I will never be the same...
Sometimes, I'm totally SMUG about this amazing ability I have.
I remember almost all my friends' birthdays and never miss an appointment!
But, sometimes I hate myself so much just because I can never forget things that were good at the beginning, but turned bad in the end.
Maybe it will be easier to be a FORGETFUL person because all things are just TRANSIENT...

我記得國中的時候爸爸媽媽就開始要我們聽Let's talk in English.不過那時候都沒理他們
進了竹女之後就變成不得不聽.因為考試要考(不過還是很多人沒聽啦~)
那時候還用隨身聽把每天的廣播節目錄下來耶!有的時候廣播的品質很不好.總是沙沙沙的...再不然就是得起個超早聽當天的節目.真的很辛苦!
到了高二.馬上就跳到Studio Classroom.我還記得那時候都聽不懂.考試就死記硬背...
過了一年到高三.簡直就是突飛猛進.都聽得懂了.哇哈哈!
到大學就有一搭沒一搭的聽.畢業後一度改聽English Digest.因為某一陣子的Advance Studio Classroom我變得很不喜歡它的style
後來又以為自己要進大公司做秘書.所以換成Biz.連續訂了2年.家裡還剩一堆(因為後來秘書沒做成.反而變成補習班老師了...)
現在在San Francisco.我還是繼續聽英文喔!一天即使只聽到一個新字也很令人開心啊~(不過通常都遠超過一個啦...)
9月10月都聽English Digest.可是覺得程度有點弱了.而且我很討厭它的中文講解.所以今天又重回Advance的懷抱...
第一課是關於Facebook的創辦人.覺得蠻有趣的.而且我本身也是Facebook的愛用者...
可是原本打定主意接下來兩個月就聽Advance的.剛剛不小心又看到English Digest這個月的有些topic很有趣...嗚~好難抉擇喔~
不過改聽Advance有個壞處.就是每天一定都要聽到.錯過了就是錯過了.沒有second chance...
不像English Digest不但可以預先聽.還可以回溯...
Anyway...說不定這也是優點啦!就是每天一到某個時間就該提醒自己坐在電腦前聽英文了...
我常把我自修英文的經歷當作故事跟學生說...
首先當然是不要害怕英文啊~先願意學了之後下苦功.不見得要砸大錢上補習班.一樣也會有不錯的成效
雖然說什麼language apititude因人而異.可是我真的是覺得很努力很努力就會有收穫的
像我準備什麼語文的考試都沒有補習.就靠自己唸.還不是可以考得好(我簡直就是個愛考試的魔人...)
所以大家千萬不要氣餒的啊!加油加油~~~
