情定愛琴海

        Tonight, my macroeconomic class's professor is not going to be in class. Therefore, he found a substitute teacher for class. I have no idea about which approach the substitute teacher could pick and choose. The same as my professor, or different from my professor. I hope it is the same. Actually, each time we trun in our assignment based on reading aloud our answer which is on our paper. If the substitute teacher wants us to explain why we write the answer, I strongly believe that there are many people who do not know how to explain it. Probably the percentage of the classmates who do not understand is up to 90%. It is a bad thing.

        Yesterday, I had international marketing exam with multi-choice. There are 17 questions that are for sure, but maybe 5~10 of the rest of the 33 questions are 60%~70% for sure and other rest of these questions are less 10%~20% for sure. However, I only can miss 20 points. In other words, I only can miss 10 questions on this exam. I do not know why I have impression about questions (not all, for those which I am not sure), but I did not remember the answer. What happened to me? I know I read it, I, otherwise, could not be possible to have these impression. The average to pass is high. I cannot lower than 80%, or I have to utilize A to cover whichever course I only get C. How many C I get must be covered at A with the same number. I expect, but I am nervous right now.

        This afternoon, I took Finance quiz as leveling course. This time, professor gave us one more opportunity. In other words, we could take twice. At first time, one person took first and then he took second time after he finished taking first time. Both of the two times, he got 90%. Therefore, another one friend and I took in turn in next round. During break time, three of us discussed about the quiz. We discussed where the problem is and tried to get higher score while went into our turn. Discussing for a long time sill confused the problem until other two of us finished taking first time. We figured out where the problem is because both of us only got 80% in first time. When we finished the quiz, other two of us got 100%. We could finally take a break and be ready to greet next assignment and exam next week. How strange afternoon we have.

        Recently, mid-term is coming. Exams come step-by-step. I am trying to study, but I am sleepy as I read my textbook. It is sad and bad, isn't it? I think and guess so. That's why I always take a break at home. Actually, it is not a break. It is a long break. In other word, I do not study at home because I cannot do it at all. Watching TV drama and reading online news is going to be my everyday assignments, excluding class assignments. One-third of this term has already passed and finished. I need to prepare to find a new apartment for next semester. I want to move out from current apartment. I actually expect this movement. However, I afraid I cannot have one that I expect. I do not like current one because it is very expensive for rent, $650 per month. Only water contained. After this term, I will be alone if I am not going to find somewhere to live when my roommate graduate from WTAMU. Although I can afford it to pay all fee, including tuition and rent, I do not want to do that without saving money. I always try to save money every time. That's all for today's journal.

        Another week began. That is, I may start being busy because only this week we didn't have any assignment. Busy day is a damn thing, especially challenge English. I dislike English at all. Actually, I hete it. Each time when I face it, I am sleepy. Think about this situation. I strongly believe that you may be sleepy when you hate something that you meet. Otherwise, I cannot update my music and movie. I don't like this feeling. It makes me sad and blue. These two conditions coincide that will make me vomit. I just think about how to escape from this horrible, terrible, and damn things. However, do they cause me go back to Taiwan in winter? I have no idea. Probably I am going to graduate from WTAMU next summer if I still follow my orginal plan. I want to graduate as soon as possible because I don't wanna stay in this selfish and damn country whose people have serious racial discrimination, but I don't want to take three courses for each term either. What should I do?

        現在的教育是出了什麼問題嗎？今天看了一則社會新聞，一名國中女性學生連遭七名男性同學襲胸，家長不單不好好教育孩子、不認錯道歉，還覺得自己的小孩不應該遭到轉學的命運對待，因為該轉學的是女性同學！這是個什麼樣的世界，原來現下台灣的教育，是教育孩子在犯錯後，推卸責任、逼受害者遠離是非，而不是教育孩子扛起這分責任、有錯就要認！孩子還小不懂，難道家長們也不懂？看看台灣的環境與治安，這該怪誰呢？除了政府，不就是家長們嗎？另一方面，學校方面也不懂得教育孩子，只是一昧的將孩子當球一般踢，有什麼問題，就讓孩子轉學到其他學校，難道這就是解決的辦法？這充其量只不過一個治標不治本的爛方法而已！家長忙碌於工作不管，學校想管又不能管，一旦管了又得挨罵！其實適當的體罰與處罰，是必然的！否則台灣的社會，只會越來越糟糕，不會越來越好！如果在現金這樣的體制下，台灣的治安要好根本就是天方夜譚！當權者也從未想過這類的問題，只是一意孤行的浪費納稅人的錢在做無謂的事情！

        Tonight, I have exam. My professor said that we can bring our reference sheet. I tired of studying because of the reason that I do not know at all. Therefore, I focus on my reference sheet. I shrunk it and finished it couple of minutes ago. However, I am not ready to take this exam because I do not understand how difficult and hard this exam is even though it is multiple choice for all question. It sounds good and great, but it may actually be a killer. Kill my score. Right now, only one thing I could do is to pray. Thanks father for praying. Please forgive me and lead me to pass and succeed in this exam.

        Many years ago, most of the countries and people would talk about global economy that Capitalist world might save communism's. However, through global economy changing until current period, this theory will reverse. Exactly, one or two decade ago, there is no free trade in China. Many people thought that public trade would help China to develop and be stronger. Yet as we see today, economy has been destoryed seriously in capitalist world especially after economic pression in the US. Unstable law has been damaging the US. Exceeding freedom cause many problems happened. Bailout cannot pass in Congress. It does not seem to save economy willingly. Investors lost their confidence step by step. Back to see Chinese economic system, the negative growth rate is lower than capitalist countries even though Chinese economy was slow down and the currency was going to be depreciation. On the other hand, they effectively control the economy and market. They manage output and stabilize currency rate well. Less inflation and recession occur in China even in emerging market. We can see the key point from here, communism still has some advantage that capitalist world does not have. Therefore, we cannot deny that communism is always bad in rights and poor economy. That is, how come does communism save economy of the capitalist world? It is not difficult to figure out.

        當兩物相碰時，定會產生轉移現象！換句話說，當刑事鑑證單位在進行蒐證時，經常掛在嘴邊的名詞！這就相當是單位人員工作上的座右銘！沒錯，當兩物相碰，物品本身的材質，將可能會轉移到另個物品上，又或者是將其他物品的材質轉移到自己！爾後在經由單位人員進行搜刮找尋證據，協助警方破案！利用科學的力量，維持社會治安！因為通常當事人，都不會去注意到這些事，最多只會注意到指紋的保留問題、不在場證明（包含如何找尋時間證人等），但往往忽略的是，即便兩件衣服在簡單的情況下相觸，衣服的絨絮，就很有可能在此附著到其他衣物上！這是想防範卻無法防範的！當然，這只是其中一個，鞋印、玻璃等等，都依然如此！

        Finally, I can take a break this week because I finish week business. It is not easy to tide over the difficulty for this week. It is tired week. However, the businesses follow by many assignments and some exam, including quiz. I won't forget that library is my another home. I go every day. I stay at library every day. This is college life. Actually, my English still influence my entire life because my English-learning meet block. How do I overcome this problem? I have no idea. That is the reason that I have to go to library to study every day. I afraid of being tired of studying after mid-term. What should I do? I try many methods, but it is still there.

        This morning, it was snowing. The temperature fell down to 27 degree which is the highest temperature at daytime and 15 degree which is the lowest temperature at night. This temperature degree is my favorite degree because it suits me. For this winter, today is the first day to snow. I wait it for months. Therefore, I was so happy to see it while I was watching snow. It does not relate to that I hope to see snow. The relationship is that the temperature decreased and fell. It fell down to my favorite degree. However, it merely happened today and does not continue to next day. On Wednesday, the degree will rise.

        Sometimes I would like to make a story even it is fictitious. But I have no idea about the story. I hope I could try it, but actually I couldn't. Creating an unreal story is not easy. Everybody knows it. Why do I want to create it? I do not know the exact reason. Maybe...I just vent some emotion. It is fun. I also have no idea about starting a story. First step is always difficult.

        Tonight, we have Chinese New Year Party that be held in BSM, abbreviation of the church's name. One thing I do not understand why it is a potlot party. I believe that Taiwanese Schoolmate Association still has enough capital to provide all dishes. However, the president of Taiwanese Schoolmate Association insist on keeping money. They are not willing to utilize. Two years ago, the dishes offered by Taiwanese Schoolmate Association in each party. I have to ask when the policy has changed. They do not know that not many people can cook or make well. When potlot held, many people may go to United Supermarket to buy food to support these parties. Standing at the other side to think about will figure out that there is no difference between potlot and offered food by Taiwanese Schoolmate Association because the dishes are from restaurant. Since this situation happen, why do president not change back to be provided food by association? I am sure that it will be better while holding parties.

        期待已久的國際性組織，台灣終於可以參與！IHR雖然只是WHO中的一項條例，但在往後，WHO只要發佈任何重大的衛生訊息，將不再需要透過中國轉達，便可直接的跟台灣對話，讓台灣能夠在第一時間接受到各類資訊！相對的，此舉對台灣往後衛生方面也將能更進一步的與世界接軌，隨時能接受到來自WHO的協助，這一切的一切，都是馬政府的功勞，這都是在扁政府時期看不到的！此外，WHO將不再以Taiwan, China稱呼台灣，而是以另一種模式－Contact Point in Taipei來對台灣的稱謂！這樣舉動更是難能可貴！與此同時，也可看出國際社會對台灣的定位已存在，我們不能老是按照自己的想法、思考去定位台灣！

        Today, I have macroeconomics class. During class time, I did not pay attention to my professor at second period. Suddenly, I heard my professor called my name and want me to call out my answer in order to let everybody can hear clearly. At that moment, nothing in my brain and I could not hear any voice or sound. This situation is just like a man who loses snese of hearing. And then, I, of course, read my answer. But when I just read half of my entire answer and I was ready to start reading my rest of my whole answer. I heard my professor said, "Here you go." When I heard this dialog, I certainly stop my act because I thought I had already given the correct answer to everyone, including my professor. The result of stopping reading, everyone watched me and may think why I do stop reading. Under this condition, I felt embarrassed. Oh~gosh. I never thought I would do that in class even during the class. Therefore, I thought I must be crazy. Of course, I am always tired in second class time.

        New semester has begun a week ago. A new challenge follows it. New classmate and new courses will be fun and difficult. This term I do not take online class. Therefore, I have three on-campus class Monday through Wednesday. The day I need to get to class is almost the same as last semester. Actually, it is not perfect days to class. It just tends to perfect. No class on Thursday through Friday and on Monday is my final goal to take my classes. If this dream could be come true, I have to take one online class with two on-campus classes. Right now, new term began and I started being busy even though everybody may think that it is just the first week of this semester. Yet actually it is because I have much homework and some quizes from these classes.

        今天入境時，在LAX碰到移民局的，實在是給他XXX，老是問一些重複性又奇奇怪怪的問題，搞得我不知道該怎麼回答，而且超多人排隊的，也不會加快腳步，結果只有一邊排隊一邊罵，因為實在是太不爽了！真的是很氣人，老美怎麼都是一個樣，難道就不能改進一下嗎？

        九降風，一部描述高中生對於青春的表達！故事的開端，分別由高一到高三所組成的九個高中生組成，在棒球場上激情的歡呼、為自己喜愛的球隊-時報鷹加油著！到後來，隨著時報鷹涉嫌放水，九個情如兄弟的學生，開始對彼此的猜疑、背叛，除此之外，高中生的青春中，不可少的性與暴力，充斥著這些青春洋溢的高中青年！九名青少年所展露的，正是所有高中生涯中，將會面對到的情境！

        剛看了奇摩新聞，發現台中縣政府的員工工作時數實在是少之又少！很多人上班看報紙、聊天，彷彿只需將自己的業務做完，就可以了！也難怪台灣的政府辦事效率，實在是差勁無比！根據記者表示，他們看到其中一位掛有政府識別證的員工，混在民眾內看報紙，結果經記者盤問時，卻謊稱為民眾，這樣的一個責任感，實在讓人心寒！也難怪台灣的教育是如此的失敗！此外，在被發現犯錯後，還振振有詞的辯解說自己並非員工，而是民眾！這種人所做出的行為，實在是可恥！在當下經濟不景氣的時代，鐵飯碗的公務員，反而不設法增加自己的業務、不知好好珍惜，只會霸佔著位置，實在令人髮指啊！的確，應該大量增加他們的業務，否則民眾去辦事，只會又一次的見到沒效率的政府人員；看到員工的浪費，只會使人唾罵！

        I did not wirte English journal for months. Right now, it's time to count down. However, when I go back to the United States, the time the classes begin is closer. Originally, I hope I can buy my textbook before I am out of Taiwan. Yet, the wish cannot come true anymore because there is no textbook which I need in Taiwan. At the same time, the range of two time that I come back to Taiwan is very wide. I have no idea about that.

        今天，原本要去小碧潭，結果看不懂他所有免費接駁公車的Information，因此而作罷！隨後轉向淡水，從下車開始，看到一對對的情侶，直到漁人碼頭，都是如此！原來，這是一個不適合一個男生單獨去的地方！最後來到漁人碼頭，坐在二樓觀景台的階梯上，等著夕陽的出現，身旁卻又是一對對的情侶，看了很不是滋味，可又沒辦法，因為漁人碼頭，除了提供藝人開演唱會，就是提供給情侶散步、約會的地方，雖然漁人碼頭也具備了休閒的功能！吃味，成了當時的最佳寫照！

        哇勒，現在是怎樣？突然間覺得在台北市任何一處，都可見到正妹，除了之前在USC（University of Southern California）見到的之外，今天去卡啦OK，那個女店員也不錯，現在是怎樣，就是拼命刺激我就是了！唉～無奈就是無奈！這是一個怎麼也無法改變的事實！老天啊，為什麼要這樣對我呢？
