香菇心世界

瘋了，還真的六點多去學校散步，真不曉得大人的腦袋都在想些什麼，明明東西都收不完了，還一個校區跨過一個校區的逛，這時候又不禁懷念起北醫的小而美。手很酸、腳很酸，但是成功校區真的很漂亮，是我印象中的成大，據說也是這個學校最初的校地，所以有很多舊的系館。根據研發長的說法，因為這些建築都已經被列為古蹟保護了，所以根本拆不得，如果想要蓋新的系館，也只能在旁邊的空地另起爐灶，也許北醫那棟完全看不出有什麼設計的二字頭教室也是同理可證吧。

因為逛校園逛到快九點，一回到醫護大樓，我腎上腺素就開始飆高。準備早餐2nd round、洗衣、烘衣、換衣服、擦澡、收拾、打包...，亂七八糟爬上爬下，因為太慌亂還害我忘記把電腦裡和逼希的合照寄到信箱裡，快氣死。本來預計可以悠閒的烘完衣服，還不是有人臨時起意要一大早去呼吸新鮮空氣自己卻睡過頭，搞到最後我有點不爽。那位沒有身教的太太一出現，就開始翻東翻西、問東問西，我就都收好了嘛，也列好各箱的清單了，結果他給我一箱一箱翻，挑三揀四的又把一些東西拿出來，硬是要嫌我打包的不好嗎？靠腰，竟敢質疑我在山服打滾多年換得的封箱技巧，簡直找死！我看根本是她想佔老頭便宜，想把他的東西都坑走，找他來收尾實在是最不智的作法，完全是在幫倒忙。還有，我真不喜歡這些個不守時的人，我以後一定要守時，不可以自己跳進混水中。

也因為太忙亂，害我忘記把電腦裡和逼希的合照寄到信箱裡，還想說真開心可以和他用webcam照張相，結果照完後太極著收電腦，竟忘了寄給自己，囧。這真是大大的失策，沒有照相機是這整段旅成最大的敗筆。

今天南台的大批人馬又來啦！因為老頭子不方便移架到他們的實驗室，所以這些菸酒生每次都得扛著一堆電子儀器，帶著戒慎恐懼的心來見老頭子。今天又是同一個人坐在老頭旁邊，真不知道是他的榮幸還是不幸，但是每次看他用痛苦的表情解釋實驗內容，就覺得他好衰。學生們應該覺得終於要鬆一口氣了，這一個月來他們也辛苦了，老頭的好奇心太旺盛，只要有想要改進的部份，菸酒生一回到實驗室又是一陣趕工。洪老師說這個月學生的壓力都很大，每次要來這邊都很緊張，這下子老頭要離開了，他們也總算可以放個假休息一下了。

對面房住了個外國人，這兩天都會在走廊遇上，可以聽到他說〝你好！〞感覺還滿妙的。剛剛遇到他鼓起勇氣，就隨便和他聊了幾句，原來他是英國人啊，挖屋，英國腔很好聽耶。感覺是個紳士，人很合善，哈哈，開心！

一大早，海倫送來已經完稿的自傳，本來想說那都已經修訂過一遍了，應該只是留個紙本給老頭子看，誰知道，老頭子一開始閱讀，就拿著紅筆做大幅的修改。太扯了，紅字連篇，這不是改過一遍的版本嗎?這樣下去，應該會沒完沒了吧。而且老頭子一拿起這份文件，就旁若無人的拼命趕稿，不管是吃中餐、參加研發論壇、看醫生、剪頭髮...，只要一坐下就要我把那份文件趕快拿給他，簡直是小孩子嘛！海倫中午送便當來時，要老頭子趕快吃飯不要再修改了，
老頭竟回她：「我可以邊改邊吃」
海倫：「你不可以邊吃邊改，你應該專心吃飯，感謝食物。」
老頭：「No way！我從不感謝！」
等到我們終於抵達恐怖的電機系令洋廳，為什麼說他恐怖，因為太多男人了，整個廳堂充滿臭酸味！老頭子也是一坐下就拼了命的趕稿，海倫又出現了。
海倫：「我覺得你不該在別人演講時做這些...」
老頭：「他怎麼會知道我不是在做筆記呢？」
海倫：「他會知道的。我是老師，我知道學生在底下都在做什麼！」
老頭子果然還是老人，固執的脾氣還是跑不掉。
去醫院問完診，抽了血後，趁著老頭子滿腦子只有自傳，硬是把他拉到地下室美髮部去，去剪頭洗頭啦！哈哈，也未免太有趣，外國佬在台灣理容院的初體驗，說真的，很像猴子，因為大家一直跑來看。儷耀姊和我也是邊看邊偷笑，還一直用手機拍照，哀，我這個月最可惜的就是沒有相機可以隨身隨時記錄這一切有趣的事情。結果還不錯啦，有像個明星，看起來也不那麼邋遢，至少每天早上睡醒不會再怒髮衝冠了。
好快喔，一個月就要過去了！看著當初因為日子太難熬自製的行事曆(好讓我每過一天劃一格)，現在都還可以想起第一個禮拜的每個時光，滿不可思議的，這段時間還是留下了不少印記。雖然老頭子每次都說"I'll cry."，還真不知道到時候送行時會是什麼畫面，希望他明年還可以順道來拜訪，我可以去找他玩。
 

可以打中文了!開心，謝謝小潘姊姊，我愛你!

現在肚子好餓，可是我不能再放任自己嘴巴亂吃東西，來這邊一個月從自以為變瘦到確定自己變胖，到現在每天過著老人步調的生活，我真不敢相信11/2回到家會變成幾噸重。所以我要好好克制自己的嘴饞壞毛病，把逼西養胖並不代表我也要跟著變胖。

今天清晨一點，逼西突然說他睡不著，聽他說話的感覺好像做惡夢一般，他說"Bad thought, very bad thought."不曉得他想到了什麼，可能是因為昨天晚上一直在看discovery和national geography的節目，裡頭都在說以前戰爭的事，逼西盯著電視看得認真。那些軍機、軍艦，都有著逼西的發明，radar，之前也聽他說有一陣子政府要他去為軍方工作，那個戰亂的年代，沒有經歷過的人很難想像。一般人看這種節目或許不會有任何的感覺，但是對於逼西而言，那都是他經歷過的歷史，也許是因為如此，他才會睡不著。

I am trying to write down something about my life with BC in word. Since VP Tzeng wants to publish a story about BC'S long stay in NCKU, Helen now come to our room almost everyday to have some note of BC. They talked everything such as things happened in BC's childhood, life in NCKU, participated in the World War 2. I asked BC why he can remember so many things even he can still remember when did it happen. He said all the things are very impressive; they were all about the world. He's actually a man who lives in the national status.

There was a conference hold in the medical school today. We went to there to participate it on in the morning because Dr. Smithies's speech. His speech was about his research of course, I couldn’t understand all of it, but he interested me by using interest words. He is must a popular teacher in the school. He is not dull at all that makes him a real master.

In the end of his speech, audiences ask some questions of him. He mentioned one of his motivations to go ahead is to do the things you are really like. “Change the job if you don’t like it!”, ”Do what you like and do it well! ” Maybe these sentences are not strange to us, but when the mater said that again, there was another strong feeling hit me again. Well, that’s right, perhaps I don’t like the job I am doing now but how could I find one which I really have interest in it?! I don’t even know what my favorite is. Few people are lucky that they know what they exactly like and they do exactly what they like. Most of the people just can’t discover their favorite even though they have already spent all their life trying to do something they really enjoy. I am the one who hadn’t found my interest. Dr. Smithies’ word really impressed me. I hope I can find it someday, and that day can come earlier. I don’t want to hear anyone say that I look smart but I am doing what I am not suit for.

Because we are going to have a dinner with the Nobel Prize winner, Oliver Smithies, Kelly and I planed to help BC taking a bath in the bath tub. I have asked BC for a thousand times if he wanted to take a hot bath in the tub, but I always got a “NO!” for answer. We wanted him to have a tub not only because of the dinner but also want him to smell good and look great.

Kelly came here at about 5p.m., and we soon started to prepare everything for the bath. We get the clothes ready and put warm water in the tub, just waited BC to jump into the tub. How tricky he is! I asked him whether he wanted to have a bath or not, he said “ok, but let me finish this e-mail.” That’s fine! After the e-mail, he went to sit in front of the TV, waiting for his idol, Obama, to speak. It was out of time, so I begged him to go to the bath room. It spent me so many time to let him get into the tub. Kelly and I hold him tightly just in case he would fall on the floor in the bathroom. It was just like a war. I can describe the story better in Chinese.

When BC first saw the full water of the tub, he yelled”Oh my god!” we felt very funny with his reaction. The most difficult part of the tub bath was getting in and off the tub. BC yelled for the hot water, but he didn’t know how to control the faucet, then he got the hotter water. We would say he is “假勵害” in Chinese. Finally, we finished the bath and walked out the bathroom to put on his clothes in the living room, he said “I can’t believe I survive!” how he could be so funny! After the bath, Kelly and I were exhausted!

Today, we visited the main library of the school. The library is big and beautiful, how lucky the students are here! I was very jealous of them. The library in TMU is so small that students often have no seats for studying. Maybe the foreigner is very unique in the public, so all of the students there kept staring at us that made me feel very uncomfortable. (KAN KUR PI!) we stayed there for almost 2 hours, the guide spoke very well English to introduce the library. There is a exhibition about the ancient Chinese lock in the library. After we visited that exhibition, BC wrote down some beautiful word on the guestbook "Many thanks to unlock the key to my heart!". Wow, you see?! How romantic! I admired him because my heart has already locked by myself. no wonder BC keeps watching the world, how beautiful his mind is!

Kelly came here late at night. I am always happy to see her. Of course we sat to watch TV and talked together, and that's the reason why I am still here now. It’s late! Every time when I want to write down something, I must have to wait until BC lie down on the bed. Also, I wrote the dairy in the paper after I finish the blog. I made myself sleeping less.

I will participate in a dinner with some "SOMEBODIES" on this Friday. Hmmm...I think I don't really interest about the people, I just want to eat some delicious food although I have gained weight since I came here...

i got headache all the day, although i slept well last night. now i am under hypotension. i don't know what is the true reason that cause my headache, but i hope i'll be fine tomorrow.

today is a lohg day. the students from nan-tai university came here at 2 p.m., and started their experiment immediately untill 8 p.m. that's tiresome! but for me, there was a plenty of time to rest. Mom also came here this afternoon, i ate some delicious food. VP tzeng and his wife also came here to participate in the meeting.

Then, Kelly brought something really good to me, she is so nice. i ate a lot, i was full. Pan said she can tell that i have already adapted to the job by seeing my blog, maybe that's true. now i can sleep well and eat well than last week when i just arrived here, that's good! 12days have already passed, 20days left.

three students came here to held a meeting this morning. only one of them spoke english, the others seemed very nervous of talking in english. i was afraid of speaking english, too. i can still remember when i was in the junior high school, a foreign teacher came to our class once a week to let us practice speaking in english. i always got very nervous when he walked toward me, and only use "yes" "no" "i don't know" to answer his questions. it also amazed myself that i can talk to a foreigner now. maybe that is because i have no choice, if i don't speak english, no one would come here to save me. that's one of the reasons i accepted this job, to practice my english. although that student didn't speak well in english, and the grammar was a mess, but i still respected him as he was not afraid of speaking out. i can see the guy is very talktive, too.
without taking any nap all day long, the only thing i am eager to do now is sleeping. so, let's say goodbye to today.

today is a big day of taiwan, because it's double tenth day! i found that is so proud to introduce our culture to the foreigners.

there were two meetings today, i only took a nap during BC's morning meeting with the graduated students of EE department. I thought that would be enough for me, but when the time i finished my dinner, i felt sleepy to die. My poor vaso and heart, they have worked so hard for me. i think i'd better go to bed earlier tonight.

it's sad that i don't have a holiday to go out for fun. it's always so lonely to be here and everywhere.
