開始了就會知道怎麼做了
270907英國入學
自從註冊以後
覺得很多事情跟原本想的都不一樣
你看本來是要來英國工作賺錢的
沒成
要來英國唸書一波三折
書是可以唸了
但是前途坎坷ㄚ
我以為只要人來到英國
學位自然捧在手
當然是痴人說夢ㄚ
錢沒賺到還倒貼人家英國一推錢
自己欠銀行一屁股債
可不是嗎 計劃永遠趕不上變化
萬萬沒有想到就是萬萬給你遇到
到了教室遇到Tony那天我就知道他就是我這一年必須朝夕相處的老師了
他很和氣 跟一般英國人一樣
很有趣的是英國的男人很護女人
對女人很尊敬
我也不是說台灣男人不愛護女人
但事實上走在路上或是在同一間教室裡
兩國的差異非常明顯
在英國女人可以優先發言 可以先享受 當不表示可以直接得到高分那可是兩碼子事
我想這在台灣是很難的 雖然大家都說男女平等
這又要說起另一個狀況ㄌ
男人可以優先 但是 他禮遇她這是我很欣賞的
或說回來雖然遇到一個很和氣的英國人
但是我的老天哪
全盤的英文
自以為是的自信變成了一文不值
變成一隻安靜的小貓 一樣
用盡我所有的腦汁去拼湊出大家分享的字字句句
結果只得隻字片語
鴨子聽雷 於是我從小貓又變成了鴨子
從老師那裡得到了一些信心
到了圖書館借出五本預習的Text books
computer informatics technology health science....
認得的單字沒幾個
突然變成了不識字的大青蛙了
井底之蛙大概都比我有自信ㄌ
這會跳進這深淵
鐵定是 滿頭白髮了
白髮姑姑(小龍女)跟過兒的故事可以改編成英國版的嗎
室友一直來攪局
也該是睡覺的時間了

Too much love will kill you
I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone
For much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong
Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose
Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you
Every time
Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end.

Swansea的戰鬥營
拿到這個成績已經是昨天的事情了
一知道成績有六分其實很驚訝
但是距離研究所要求的分數還是差了0.5阿
所以戰戰兢兢的拿著成績去找王貞
我想天主保佑讓我一切都非常的順利
真的
第一次找王貞有其他大陸同學在
王貞就給我鼓勵叫我等第二次成績
第二次考試非常難 但是也只有等等看囉
第二天我跟潔西卡去找王貞
學校只在星期五出成績
我快急死了 我的簽證等不暸ㄌ
她幫打電話問成績他也快瘋了
老實說那時我的心情真的就是七上八下的
(算了算了這種成績就算硬是上了也是要寒窗苦讀還不一定會畢的了業)
(這麼爛的成績怎麼跟教授談根本連個邊兒都沾不到)
好多對話在那裡跟自己說 看來是要回台灣了
王貞跟美惠毫不死心也不知道是英文成績真的不代表一切還是他們的經驗說這樣子還是可以讀研究所的
美惠一直打電話給我鼓勵 王珍更是說試試麻
她先去電跟Kevin英文課程的頭頭說了:這個學生念完十週課程本來考到六分
,聽力考八分,寫作卻只拿到4.5, 5分很不合理的,請你在幫這個學生看一下,於是Kevin叫我去找他下午三點。乘勢較傑西卡跟我一起去,我還一直跟傑西卡練習該說些什麼話才得當才會讓人家從新考慮我們,結果什麼話都沒說他用了將近五分鐘的時間給了我們新的成績單6.5, 6, 6.5, 7 overall: 6.5,說不出話只想跟他擁抱,我又再接近我的夢想一步了
到了Tony又是一關
研究所要求所有成績都要6.5以上,可是王貞跟他談
我有工作經驗又對這科很有興趣應該要給我機會的
所以Tony就答應給我unconditional offer並且透過王真恭喜我成為他們的ㄧ員了
就這樣槍林彈雨的實戰ㄧ週之後
終於強壯了
再去跟學校談宿舍的事情
果真天主保佑我
我得到想要的宿舍ensue single
因為住的地方是用網路線
暫時住在這兒還是以不影響別人為前提
看到無線網路沒有上鎖的才能上線
這一週來都很不穩定
但是今天要搬到Beck house去了
ㄧ切又都會穩定下來了

考完試囉
終於結束了ㄚ
這幾個戰戰兢兢的日子
今天脫下疲累的外衣
完完全全的懶散了一個下午跟晚上
為了給Ayaki慶生
晚上可熱鬧ㄌ
現在就等著星期五的結果囉
所有的pre-sessional 學生都已經拿到結果並且換了uncon. offer
沒想到Jessica沒有 我跟他在電話裡談了很久很多
我其實也還沒脫離險境勒 .....
難道 這就是留學生的日子嗎
好多險境跟困難喔 一關又一關
好不容易來了 還得通過這兒的英文
英文一旦通過 就要見教授
進了研究所就是要跳入另一個無敵深淵
寫不完的Essay 用說的真的比唱的好聽
看到現在正在打拼dissertation的Jessi Alpha Jasmine他們
MSN上出現的瘋狂 痛恨媽媽沒有給他們一個聰明的腦袋等字眼都出現ㄌ
就知道其中的苦楚
不用說又是另一翻煎敖ㄌ
我覺得來到這裡
換了一個完全不同的環境
徹底改變了我的想法
在這個大雜燴的地方 各色人種聚集
不能再像以前一樣以自我為中心
獨當一面是一項考驗
必須去接受不同人的想法 即便自己並不認同
試著和不同的思考模式的人完成一項艱鉅的任務 即便沒有共同想法跟目標
變的要能彎 能硬 能曲 能直
能彎 才能跟不認同的人共同完成任務
能硬 才能爭取到自己應有的地位
能曲 才能接受不同人的想法
能直 才能堅持自己的想法跟目標
以前的我總以為和氣生財麻 能忍則忍
可是現在有必要的時候 要站出來替自己出聲
想說的話就要說出口 委婉可以讓人容易接受
愛也要即時說出口
因為短暫的相聚 時間很快就飛逝了
明天離開各分飛
誰也沒料的到會不會再有機會相見呢

Expressing yourself
showing your feeling
One of the problems with saying what you feel is finding the right words. Embarrassment at stating their feelings in pubic makes many people store up their anger or irritation inside them, so that when they do finally say something, it all comes out in an angry rush of words. It is far better to state your feelings clearly and calmly at the beginning, before a situation has developed so far that your anger and frustration lead you to say something far more aggressive than you intended- and something which is likely to be far less effective in remedying the situation.
The secret is to be polite but firm. Don't be afraid to tell people how you feel and don't suffer in silence if another person's behaviour is making you uncomfortable.
'Excuse me, I'm afraid this soup is cold. Would you bring me another bowl, please?'

Recognising yourself
In my opinion, parents, upbringing, teachers and education are the most important which influence on people's lives. Children being able to say 'yes' when they want; say 'no' they don't want. They always feel confident even there are critical problems.
speaking in a whisper, hunching your shoulders, talking quickly, rushing to fill silence in conversation and playing with your hair show lack of confidence.
leaning back in your chair, standing tall and straight, taking time to answer questions and leaning forward to listen to people show self-confidence.
What make you perfect memory?
You will always be what you believe you are. The way out of the maze of failure is to believe in yourself. Know that you can be whatever you want to be. Wen you are aware of yourself and your unlimited/many potential, you can look at the world and know there are no limitations, only different ways of accomplishing/achieving the same thing.
Where there's a will there's a way.

Terminal cancer sufferer Jane has died aged 43, following a seven-year battle with the disease.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_yorkshire/6976050.stm

In June 2006 she set off on her toughest fundraising challenge, cycling 4.200miles across the US.

'We hope she is now at pease from the pain that has accompanied her for so long.' Her husband and children said:'We are, as a family, heartbreaken at this loss' , but' honoured to have been blessed with such a wonderful person.'
Her family said they remained committed to continuing her work for the charities she supported.

declaration of LOVE

I adore you and I can't live without you.
I'm really rather fond of you.
I'm absolutely crazy about you.
We get on pretty well, don't you think?
I worship the ground you walk on.
European nationality have a reputation for being passionate, spontaneous, and temperamental. They used to say exaggerated declarations of love.
Asians are more controlled and reserved. They tend to say understated sentences.

we all have to learn to accept our fate
One thing a person must NOT be is impatient. Healing takes time and effort to work, and being impatient only causes stress and anxiety which make things worse. What you have to concentrate on is relaxing and thinking positively.
It is a strong positive energy, you can’t give it a name. 'It’s the boys and girls upstairs.' said Mattew.

It's a piece of cake!
Don't look a gifthouse in the mouth.
The grass is always greener on the other side.
Make Hay while the sun shines.
I'm over the moon.
Kill two birds with one stone.
It's very easy!
If you're good luck, don't let it pass you by.
Always others is better.
Do things on the right time.
I'm very happy.
Do two things at once.
(God)Bless you.
Grace.
Nice to meet you.
Could you do me a huuuuge favour.
Is it taken?
I'd love to but I have to wash my hair.
Excuse me.
Ta'la.
farewell.

Swansea
This city is very peaceful. Life is good here. Everybody moves at a slow pace. People have time to stop and talk. It's an experience I won't forgot for a long time. There aren't many shops, so I can't spend all my money, although I did buy a Starbucks coffee last week. Now I'm sitting on the sward chatting with my Japanese friend. I've been trying all the different cuisine in this part of the world, and they're all delicious.
