Days in Chapel Hill

算算來北卡的日子，快三個月了。每天在忙碌中度過，"有目標是好的"，總是這樣安慰自己。藉著忙碌來讓自己知道有目標，算是現代人的通病之一。

夏天漸漸遠離了腳步，秋意滲進，傍晚回到家終於開始有入夜的微醺。那種燈火若隱若現，映著斑駁的晚霞與車流的亮點，開始會讓我有時空的錯置感。這是一個什麼樣的地方，在我的生命譜曲裡會註上什麼樣的樂章，一切在平淡的生活中，卻還沒辦法解答。

有時候，走在楓林裡，卻懷念起在新竹的日子。彷彿下班的傍晚，映著薄暮走入水田街，買一份麵線跟豬腳飯(這是兩餐的份量，謝謝)。新竹的風會吹米粉，也會吹起我心裡的漣漪，一個人隱身在不算繁華也不算鄉下的街道中，現在感覺竟跟北卡的日子有點神似。

也許最終神似的，只是一個人的輕便，與思念吧。

Busy in My Gap Year

I just suddenly find this fact-- I have 19 hours of classes each week. Those include a graduate-level course "drug action", English literaral writing, and Chinese teaching(this is hard!!) How could I become so busy? PLUS I am planning to learn French...Will that be too much?

I have been doing school work and career jobs for years. This several-month period is so special to me. It is obvious that, at all best, I am utilizing my free time to do what I would have done if I have had "enough" time.

However, the truth is that, when we keep going on our "regular" life track, we will never have "enough" time for something "irregular". Guess this is why we sometimes deserve a gap in life.

My trip to Europe jusy gave me another thought. Easy life is no easy. Although ppl in Europe are so slow and easy, they achieve this life style in a historical hard way.

Anyway, enjoy my busy life.

Before the trip

好一陣子沒有這麼心煩
諸事不確定，諸事不順利

有一種什麼都提不起勁來的感覺
後天要去搭飛機法蘭西跟義大利遊玩，
現在的我卻怎麼也不想打包行李
也沒感受到以往旅行前的興奮
我可是個愛好旅行的人哪

2007年目前為止似乎不是一個很順利的年
很煩 很煩 很煩
