Ce n'est pas reve

再也不是夢了。

禮拜二一個人在圖書館時

一邊寫article，一邊想聽歌
也沒什麼意識地就選了Francais選項
可能是想這樣比較不會分心吧
聽的是Sheryfa Luna 專輯
(我也不知道她是誰..只是因為是法文就下來聽)
結果，聽到第二首歌
我就上Safari點了Eurostar的車票時刻表來看
在facebook上聯繫了Sophia
然後在這週六搭車來到法國

總之一切很突然

起心動念之後就來了
沒有太多猶豫

巴黎真的很美

藝術氣息充斥在每一個街道，每一個轉角
和倫敦表象相似，可是內在迥然不同
可惜的是我有點太累
出發的前一天12:30躺上床(還睡不著)
3:30起床準備，趕著搭8點的eurostar從倫敦出發
其實有點勉強
搞得腦袋有點恍惚，身體也不是很舒服

這兩天去了Tour Eiffel, Musee Rodin, Musee d'orseal

只有一點點想哭的感覺
因為這畢竟是我做了好久好久的夢
今天實現了，有種恍如隔世的fu (笑)
不過，實際來了，更能肯定這份年少時的嚮往和喜歡
巴黎的美和豐富，果然值得我這麼多年的期待 :)

英國的夕陽

常常覺得很多事是幻想

不過我這個人，終究一大部分的樂趣是在幻想上啊(笑)

說起來英國的夕陽很難得

我到這裡來兩週了

運氣很好，有一半的日子是晴天

所以已經如約看到夕陽了。

但是，也淒風冷雨地走過兩三次夜路

迷失在校園裡，提著沈重的筆電或食材

頂著狂風和細雨，冷到骨子裡

實在稱不上浪漫。

不去想寂寞的事，因為一想就沒完

加上我又是很挑朋友的人

(automatically, 我也無法控制)

有時孤單感滿壓迫神經的...

whatever.

所以我同意你「自己要堅強」的看法

出門在外只能這樣。

你說的U型曲線，我也希望如此

或許我回台灣會飢渴地找人說英文

或許我會下定決心繼續走往Ph.D...

在這個division我的年紀果然還是小孩

一切都還有變動的希望。

繼續互相鼓勵吧, anyway!

first week

There are many challenges during first week.

Main problem is English ...

I've prepared for this "shock" but it still is difficult.

British English is not the same thing as we learn in Taiwan.

During lunch break these days, I could only understand 30% of others' chat.

It got worse when I joined a visual conference in the evening at Wednesday.

That makes me feel so frustrated.

After all, language is the basic thing here.

If I cannot communicate with people efficiently,

I can do nothing.

Dr. Li-Chia is so kind to me.

She cooked me lunch and dinner these days,

sharing me everything she knows.

She concerns a lot about my life and how i feel about all the surrounding here, acting like my experienced sister.

However, while we discussed about my visiting program, assignments and reports,

she becomes quite strict.

In her opinion, graduated from Institute of clinical pharmacy in NCKU means well-trained.

Also, she'd like me not to waste any day here.

I adore her as a great teaching and mentor model.

(Although I myself do not like teaching actually..)

It's my pleasure to have she here.

"It's pretty important to know who you are."

During the first week, this sentence means much to me.

In Taiwan, no one would really care others' opinions.

If somebody do not know who he is, where he goes, what he likes...

others would tell him to follow.

But this can not happen here.

It's bizarre for not knowing and not trying to figure out,

especially being an adult.

It's a crucial concept of life.

Arrived at Nottingham

After 3 days in London,
I arrived at Nottingham this afternoon.

Dr. Li-Chia met me at the rail station,

and she is not like what i imagine before.

She is a thin, tiny but energetic lady.

We had a pleasant beginning,

she told me lots of useful info of the city of nottingham,

taking me to the university,

helping me arranging the accommodation,

showing me the school of pharmacy and her office,

and we had dinner together.

But she is quite serious and tough in her work..

wish i can follow her as soon as possible.

Tomorrow i will go to visit a pharmacist clinic of pain control :)

夢想的旅程

今天晚上終於有真實感了

開始有點擔心

在想倫敦訂的旅館似乎評價不太好

self-introduction還沒做
總是拉哩拉雜容易擔心一大堆... ~_~b
but, whatever, 沒想到真的能踏上夢想的歐陸了
而且是單獨前往
更有一種必須堅強的感覺
心裡充滿難言的激動.
我會變得更勇敢的吧!
