华丽的冒险

Life is like a cup of coffee. It takes the beans of diligence, the foams of passion and the cinnamon of dreams to smell fragrant.

Halloween Night

很开心的和friendship family过了一次万圣节。
晚饭前,爸爸Nathan戴着Lyra和Calder来接我去他们家,
俩个小孩实在是十分的兴奋,
不知道是看着我开心,还是因为万圣节。。。
来到他们家,参观了一下他们的房子,
很舒适,很温暖,很有家的感觉。
然后妈妈Julie做好了晚饭,我终于吃到美国家庭的晚餐了,
salad,bread,chicken soup,juice,很典型。
然后小孩们都穿上自己的costume,
哥哥Calder穿了很中国风的小唐装,还有京剧脸谱,
妹妹Lyra扮成了小巫婆,还穿着妈妈的黑色高跟鞋,两度摔跤。。。
弟弟Owen,小恐龙,简直太可爱了,一直抱着自己的尾巴。
我身边的小mami,是他们的邻居,哎呀,忘记名字了。。。
到六点,直到tornado siren响起,小孩都出动了,出去trick or treat。
 
在他们所住的community转了好大一圈,一路碰到好多小怪物,
还碰到一只小猪,身上写着H1N1,太有创造力了。
后来天气越来越冷,孩子们的袋子都股股的了,就很满意的回家了。
他们一人送我了些他们得到的糖果,太sweet了。
晚上,回到家,爸爸Nathan拿出杭州的龙井,要我教他泡茶,
哈哈,没有煮水的水壶,我们用的微波炉。。。
妈妈Julie自己烤了南瓜籽,很好吃。
然后大家坐在饭厅聊天,偶尔孩子们过来叽叽呱呱讲一通,
我实在是有困难听懂孩子们说话,
不过他们在我面前炫耀自己学的中文,十分可爱。
 
 

万圣节前夜

SLRF(Second language research forum)在我们学校华丽的开幕,
让我见识了一把全美性会议的排场。
做了一天的工作人员,工作量不大,只是觉得高跟鞋踩着很疼,站在前台几度就快有赤脚的冲动。
当平时看paper的名字换成真人出现在我面前,很是让人激动,都是赫赫大名的人物呀。
后来才知,MSUTESOL在全美声誉不错,我算是运气好撞到了这所学校。
其中有个Maryland的大人物塞给我们名片,游说我们这群master去他们学校继续phd,吼吼。
参会人员中,惊见一名,来自武汉大学。
 
晚上回家后,就觉得很累,脚疼,
穿着睡衣邋遢的看电影。
看着正happy的时候,砰砰砰的敲门声,
一开门,吓的半死,戴着面具的假鬼,
完全忘了万圣节这回事,
搞笑的是,那个人鬼要我拿着刀捅他。。。
 
 

Phonology小测验后

 
 
今天phonology第二次小测验,好难啊,估计成绩不咋地,
但我还挺坦然,简直是一点都不上进。。。
拼命回忆下城院白爷爷的语言学课的内容,却什么也想不起来,
弄的我成了一个没有任何语言学背景的孩子,
以前信誓旦旦说要回去拯救下这门课,现在看来我自己已经快要沦陷了。。。
没有基础知识打底,直接上研究生的课程,真是痛苦的事情,
再来做起题目就像解数学题。。。实在是不擅长
再也不碰数学的口号,又变成痴心妄想生病
积极点,积极点毕竟自己还是学到很多东西!
 
发现最近博客是我的出气筒,
考虑到多抒发抒发有益本人身心健康,
我亲爱的读者朋友们,哈哈,嘻嘻,辛苦大家听我啰嗦了。
 
考完试,我可爱的同学们都感觉心情不佳,
女人们,就去逛街以宣泄内心的痛苦。。。
我经过激励的思想斗争,
考虑到作为一名人民教师,身上所担的重任,(¥#@¥!@#!内心的独白其实是上课不要太丢脸)
依然留守电脑前lesson plan呐,lesson plan......
虽然没当多久老师,但是这个职业精神可是从小被熏陶的,架子总是有模有样的咯。
 
很久没有吃米饭了,
好想去餐馆搓顿好的,想想菜价是以这个符号$结尾,算了,
今天晚上自己给自己做顿好的慰劳一下。
不过话说回来,不吃饭,体重掉的真快,
姐妹们,那些减肥药都是假的,不吃饭就对了。
我么,就喊喊口号而已,我想念大米的味道了。
 
到底寒假回国还是呆这里旅游?太难抉择了,我还在挣扎中。。。
于是每天都在翻照片,翻暑假回家的,翻在这里游玩的,翻啊翻啊,烦啊烦啊
最后,把空间的歌曲换了,这首歌是一个年长的女人给年轻女孩的忠告,但是同时也是她自己一生的回忆,我何时才能读懂里面的玄机。
The song actually popped into my mind today. God knows why???

Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But I wish someone had talked to me like I wanna talk to you
Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me
  
Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies....
Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

[Spoken]
Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie
A fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding
It's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love
  
Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
  

与杭州有关的一天

今天屁颠屁颠的去International Center参加Friendship family orientation,
坐公车碰到一个中国妹妹,聊天才知道住我家隔壁的诶,
再聊天发现她是杭州人,浙大的学生,说是浙大和我们学校有交流项目,
现在在学统计。。。让我惊了一下。
后来发生的事情更让我震惊了,所有的事情都与浙大,杭州有关。
原来我的host family,是MSU的教授。Julie是妈妈,在MSU教育系当老师,爸爸Nathan是地理系的教授,
他们有三个可爱的小孩,两个儿子,一个女儿,年纪都很小,以后我有的玩了,哈哈。
巧合的是Nathan明年春季的时候要去浙大教书,吼吼,他说他每年都要去一次,以前已经去过三次了。。。
也就是说我就算明年回国了,以后还是可以和这一家人见面的,呵呵
有了“杭州”“浙大”,我和他们一点陌生感就没有了,他们很nice, 不停问我想干吗,想玩什么,
还问我想要他们去杭州给我带什么东西吃,哦哈哈,我是不是要现在就开始make a list了呢。
最后商量好,下个礼拜万圣节,我去他们家,带着三个小孩去"trick or treat",期待中。
最后,还要感慨下,实在是太巧了,我当时填表格的时候根本就忘记写杭州了,
竟然还配到了这个family。缘分呐。。。
2009/05 @HZ 那时候的我还是傻齐刘海 傻妞

No homework, No paper...at least for tonight

校园里树叶的颜色总会让我留恋很久,觉得很美,没带相机很失策!

我周围的同学接连病倒,系里喷嚏,咳嗽声接连不断,真不知道是swine flu还是seasonal flu,

反正这里最近大家像中了邪一样。这个周末还是呆在家里为妙。

看到学校杂志上的一段话,十分认同,哈哈。。。

You know you're a Michigan State Spartan when...

Your weekends start on Thursday, and if not, well, you're just unlucky!眨眼

Wish a happy weekend& Stay warm!
