這學期說修了一門名叫「弱勢兒童陪讀服務」的課
顧名思義就是去陪小朋友讀書
上禮拜去陪讀的時候
有一個同學說他們禮拜六運動會
說如果我們(老師們)能去的話
小朋友會很開心
所以..我就跟我負責的那個小朋友約好..說我會去了
真是太衝動了，那天早上整個很不想出門
小朋友應該早已被大人表習慣了
應該不差我一個
不過...我的良心那天突然被狗吐了回來
想說既然都答應了
那天就還是去了
在他們校園繞了好久
沒有看到認識的
也沒有看到其他修那門課的同學跟老師
大概就算遇到了也沒認出來
對人的記性實在很差
正在我打算展開地毯式的搜索
讓我有理由告訴自己已經盡力了還是沒找到人之後安心離開
天從人願，剛好走到他們班的門口...
一進去，準備找人的時候
就有一位陪讀的小朋友看到我
跑過來請我吃一塊餅乾(就甘心)
很沒良心的我還沒請小朋友吃過零食...(吃太多零食對身體不好喔)
居然先被他們請了...囧
然後另一名小朋友看到我就衝過來抱我
他什麼時候這麼熱情了...我怎麼都不知道
他們的班導說他很期待我出現
真假？好吧...我姑且相信這句話
然後跟小朋友照了幾相
去找其他小朋友去了
另一個我要去找的小朋友運動會那天請假(什麼？運動會可以請假？)
到了二樓，小朋友不知道都跑哪去了，半個人影都沒有
Anyway...回到一樓沒多久
我很白目的又走回二樓去找其他小朋友
然後終於看到大家都回來
只是我不卻定我要找的在哪一班
只好在窗外一班一班偷看...
好不容易看到一位我認識的
走到前門要去找他
很不巧地，他跑到後門去
然後我走到後門去堵他....啊.是等他
他出來
我拍他肩，叫他名字
他帶著受到驚訝的表情說「你‧是‧誰？」
人就跑了
留下愣在那邊的我
跟一個眉頭頭深鎖，眼神銳利，蓄勢待發
準備好隨時捉我歸規案的家長...
(我不是要幼拐小朋友的變態啊！)
然後...我下樓去了，去跟比較熟的小朋友們說bye bye

My Moment of Self-Realization
Elementary schools are where people spend 6 naive years. People in my age were studying in order to avoid physical punishment, in the belief that education would a bring good future to us, for the sake of amusing parents, for the desire for being concerned, etc. at elementary schools. And arithmetic was one of the most stressed subjects. Multiplication was the onethat confused me most.
I am one good example. I was educated with a pre-education-reform education, and studied multiplication in the third grade. When I was in the third grade, I had homework almost everyday, and I just could not do the calculation. Every time when I was doing the arithmetic homework, I guessed an answer and wrote the number down. Inevitably, I always got my exercise book full of red crosses. One morning, my teacher, a sweet woman who was the head-teacher of my third-grade-class, thought up an idea to help the students, like me, who did not understand how to do multiplication. She named some intellectual students as tutors, and assigned each of them with one less smart peer. Luckily, my tutor was a bright, cute, and patient girl. At beginning, she taught me how to multiply two multi-digit numbers step by step. She demonstrated some examples, and asked me to do one by myself. And after I did, I made a correct answer, and I thought I really understood how to do multiplication. However, latter the same day, when I was doing my arithmetic at home, I was totally lost. I could not recall how to do it, and I therefore left them blank. The next morning, she lent me her exercise book for checking my answers. But I just replicated her works. The next morning, I did it again. I directly copied her works again and again since then. Until one day morning, one of her friends noticed that I was taking a shortcut, then her friend asked her “Won’t you teach him?”, and she replied “It’s not worth my time to teach such person.”
It was hurt, truly, but I did not cry, nor stop copying, because I would rather be able to in my exercise book unashamedly. That day, I replayed the words she said many times, and I could not help feeling like I betrayed her. Latter, when I was doing my arithmetic homework at home, I still did not know how to do multiplication. I reviewed those exercises. I mimic the processes which I copied before. I felt like I gradually understood how to do it. I finished the homework assigned that day, and I also redid the homework assigned before by myself. I felt I really knew the methodology of multiplication well. The next morning, I borrowed her exercise book for checking my answers and processes, and I found all of them were correct. I should have her to thank for making me be able to study much more difficult and complicated mathematics today.

Why Did You Choose Your Major (3)
I used to major in Electrical Engineering (EE) when I was a high school student at the Ming-Chi University of Technology. However, now I am a computer science major at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST). The change I made and the major I chose are based on practical reasons: my interests, my character, and love for freedom.
First, during my five years at Ming-Chi, I found that I was better at computer-related courses than electrical or electronic-related courses. If I spent the same amount of time at different courses, the outcomes of computer ones were always more satisfying. Besides, I won an award in a nationwide game and two awards in two collage-wide games; when I was in my internship at Formosa, I even volunteered to develop a database application which drew a lot of admiration from my supervisors. Those rewards tremendously enhanced my confidence in computer. I thought I should put myself in a right spot to make my talent be well developed. Also, according to the rate of return on investment, I thought I might have a gift for computer.
Secondly, I was interested in computer science more than others, and I felt computer was friendlier than oscilloscope; if I had to choose something for company for eight hours per day, I’d rather choose computer. Moreover, abstractions and symbols were more charming to me. I loved to use logic and concept to construct a program or understand a system. To derive equations and to use mathematics to analyze a system also interested me. Most of all, there is no physics in computer science, which gave me much comfort.
Furthermore, computer major would give me more freedom. I knew there were some SOHOs and LOHAs working at coffee shops, at their houses, or even traveling around the world for their jobs. It could prevent me from being imprisoned in an office or a laboratory because it gave me more choices of life styles.
Considering the efforts that I put and what I gained from them, my interests, and the life styles I could choose, I chose to be computer science major.

World Diabetes Day
Today is World Diabetes Day. Can you tell me what you know about diabetes in Taiwan and the world? Write a short essay on diabetes.
Well, I don’t really know a lot about diabetes. What I know is that diabetes is associated with high blood glucose and insulin, and it’s both native and acquired decease. Insulin helps the glucose from food get into our cells, and that makes the blood glucose stays at a level it should. When diabetes strikes people, people may feel very thirsty, hungry, tired, and having blurry eyesight. In addition, diabetes is growing at an alarming rate that impact economics, societies, and lives of people, and diabetes is also increasing in children. The children issue is the main concern of World Diabetes Day (WDD).

Motto
Share a motto or a quote that you like and try to abide by. Please explain what the words mean to you (and translate into English). Cite your source.
“What does not destroy me, makes me stronger”, Twilight of the Idols (1888), Friedrich Nietzsche.
When I am in trouble, or when some accidents happen on me, I always recall these words. These words make me willing to accept unavoidable difficulties or challenges. These words help me to laugh at the unwished situations that I fall in when I’m chasing my dream or finding my own way and my own existence. When I encounter something disappointing, frustrating, and nothing can do with, theses words give me the ability to give up struggle, and I diagnose and enjoy these scars instead, because I know that they will never destroy me, the scars will always heal over as time elapses, and they will leave experiences which make me stronger.

Favorite Animal
Describe your favorite animal (one of them) without letting us know what it is by name.
They are birds but they cannot fly in the sky, instead, they fly in the water, astonishingly agilely. They wear tuxedo suits no matter gentlemen or ladies. The males of them may attract modern women very much; the male stays with the egg and keep it warm while female goes to sea to find food for their baby. They are super stars; they’ve been on the screen, act the quintessential tap dancers on the ice. Their figures are used as the symbol which scares the software giant, Microsoft, very much; it’s the symbol of one of most famous free software project, Linux. They once stirred a huge tornado in Taiwan when they first arrived, kids were eager to see them, to see those poor prisoners in the zoo.

Share A Dream Of Yours
Share a dream of yours.
One of my dreams I am able to recall now is a weird dream which often staged in my childhood. When I was a child, I sometimes dreamed I am chased by a crowd of zombies who jump so fast and extend their arms towards me; some of them are my family members. I am so scared, and I’m running as soon as possible. After the imaging marathon, I feel very tired in the dream, and I find a place to hide myself. I shrink in the tiny nook and feel my heart palpitate pretty fast, trying to cease my breath as long as possible. Finally, they discover me, and I’m trying to move again, and I’ll be woken up by a sudden twitch of arm or leg.

A Good And A Bad Feeling
Describe both a good and a bad feeling using similes and metaphors.
A good feeling:
Simile: It’s like a sweet shower, refresh my mood and thought.
Metaphor: I’m sitting in a balloon with happiness as fuel, it’s inflated, rising, and closing to heaven.
A bad feeling:
Simile: It is like virus, lurks, waits, and occupies my heart.
Metaphor: I’m a prisoner, try to escape from the jail, try to snatch the key to freedom; and the bad feeling is the supervisor, uses the negative thought as a baton, to emphasize how unassisted I am.

Reflect On Places That Have Affected You
I've often said, I'm more inspired by new locations than by any other type of stimulus. Today's exercise asks you to reflect on places that have affected you.
Exercise:
Spend a few minutes thinking about a place that has moved you immensely. It must be a place that once made a strong impact on you: whether that be a negative or positive impact is your choice. Perhaps you are thinking about a childhood memory, a holiday or an everyday place that strikes a particular chord with you. Describe this place.
Last year spring, I had a part-time job in Warnervillage at Xin-Yi, the most famous and most expensive cinema in Taipei. I was very nervous when I was standing in the ticket bar, candy bar, and coffee bar facing to customers at the first few times. When the stuffs were responsible for selling tickets in ticket bar, they had to promote the food, the suit, and be prepared for the week-promotion activity, and the managers would watch the business achievement and call for more at back. Sometimes there were some special events or annoying customers, some of the customers would strongly criticize the stuffs, and sometimes the stuffs would be punished or criticized by the managers. Some of the stuffs would apologize to the customers again and again, arguing with customers is not a rational and proper choice; some of the customer would criticize and complain again and again, some of the stuffs could not bear it, and lose their control of their lachrymals, but the tears are not the best defense or buffer to the customers who ate a gunpowder for breakfast. I would not know how much of complaints I could bear and how calm I could be if I hadn’t been there.
However, there were also a lot of funs. I might be nervous or listless when I began a usual day, but as many customers who left the bar or entered a cinema with satisfied and smelling faces, and as the coworkers’ perky voices echoed in the hall, I would become cheerful and wired. Maybe this is an example of the diffusion of happy moods.

10/30工程二館發生狗墜樓不幸事件,校方籲請大家提供線索!
各位教職員工生：
10/30（二）下午兩點半左右校園內發生一件不幸事件，有一隻白狗從工程二館的頂樓墜落，當場慘死在地上，還有兩位路過的同學幾乎被砸到並受到驚嚇.
經現場勘查後，發現狗狗被人丟下來的機率遠高於失足，關懷動物是一個進步校園的象徵，我們不願意漠視這樣的暴行，破壞校園的安全，所以籲請大家幫忙協助，把這個同時危害到動物及人的兇手揪出來.
如果當天您有發現有人帶著一條白狗上工程二館？
或者帶著看起來可能裝了狗的箱子或袋子？
不管是任何相關線索，都歡迎提供。
我們的聯絡方式為
電子郵件：guidance@mail.ntust.edu.tw
連絡電話：分機6313或6315
學務處 敬啟
雖然沒有足夠的證據顯示這是台科的學生幹的，不過若真是台科的學生幹的也不足為奇。10/30發生的，拖了一個禮拜才發佈，學校對於抓兇手這回事還真夠有誠意跟效率的。

A Single Flaw In The Body
Choose a single flaw you have noticed in the body of someone close to you. Write about this flaw from the point of view of someone who finds it beautiful.
One of my friends has a snaggletooth, not very serious, just a little bit ragged. He is my classmate of junior-collage, all of us like him very much, he is one of the most popular guys at school. We all think he’s cute, and his teeth make him much cuter, his girlfriend must think in this way, too. He likes smiling and laughing, and we all love to see his teeth greeting us when he’s giggling. If he wants to go to an orthopedic surgery, we may stop him; we like his outgoing teeth so much, we cannot tolerate losing a friend who lives in his mouth and who we’ve already known for more than 6 years!

The Sea
She’s the mother of the creatures in the world
She’s so vast and immeasurable
if you look at her
you’ll feel you are so insignificant
and raise your respects to the nature
She’s an emotional woman
sometimes she’s peaceful
sometimes she’s horrible
and sometimes she goes mad
She the most loyal follower of sun and moon
She changes her color for them
She raises her figure for them
and humbles herself for them
She’s the best friends of wind
She runs with wind
She dances with wind
She stays in serene with winds
She’s so vast and immeasurable
if you look at her
you’ll feel you are so insignificant
and raise your respects to the nature
She’s an emotional woman
sometimes she’s peaceful
sometimes she’s horrible
and sometimes she goes mad
She the most loyal follower of sun and moon
She changes her color for them
She raises her figure for them
and humbles herself for them
She’s the best friends of wind
She runs with wind
She dances with wind
She stays in serene with winds

今天班上辦聯誼...
本來已有同學幫我報名
但我最後還是退出了
面對同學的邀約
堂而皇之地找了幾個藉口退縮
真正的原因
受不了這樣的場合
大部分的同學找我講話
不外乎 工作 課業 程式
或許這些是我跟大家唯一的交集
是不是成績與名次的光環 遮掩了我其他人格
還是我根本沒有人格
剛入學的那年太忙
下課週末人都失縱
班上的活動至今只去過兩次 聚餐
有個同學說
我是班上的隱藏人物
打密碼也叫不出來
這次好不容易叫出來了
遊戲還沒開始就當機
很遺憾我不打電動 還花了一段時間來理解上面第三句的比喻
有同學說我都沒有休閒
不打電動又不去聯誼 整天宅在自己的世界
我說我會看小說 偶爾讀些其他書
他說我就只有這種異於常人的嗜好
有一座名為知性的森林
裡面有一株小樹 被擎天古老的大樹所環繞
它間歇地往下扎根 徐徐地向上發枝
它讀著大樹樹幹的紋理 想道這是智慧的過程
它讚嘆遍地的果實與落葉 想道這是智慧的遺跡
它從大地汲取果實的養分
它向上眺望 期許有一天能同這些大樹
搖曳在一樣的風中 沐浴一樣的陽光

叔本華的眼淚
叔本華的眼淚
Author: 歐文．亞隆
★★★
老實說，我還滿欣賞叔本華這個悲觀厭世、憤世嫉俗、孤芳自賞的哲學家，能夠像他一樣一那麼孤傲過完一生著實另人羨慕。不過本書比較傾向描述團體與人際的功用與必要，叔本華在書中只有當綠葉的份。
本書的結論就是，如果像叔本華這類的人，想要融入叔本華稱之為「二足動物」的社會，想要與其他同類物種建立關係，則必需接受心理治療，以「享受」群居動物的生活。本書認為孤獨、平靜的人某種程度上必定憂鬱且麻木，並強調能合群、熱情的人會比較快樂且善感。
本書認為孤獨的人，在某種程度上必需「積極」參與一個團體，以在某種程度上活得像個所謂「正常人」。另外，本書似乎對悲歡憤世的、消極接受生命的有限性的思想嗤之以鼻，這是我對本書不敢苟同的部分。

A Lie You Told
Write about a lie you told, and how it made you feel. Why did you do it? Have you ever been found out (for lying)? If so, how did the other person know you were lying, and how did it feel to be confronted about your lie?
I told a lie when I was in elementary school. That time I was washing my hands with soap, and the soap slipped from my hands, straight shot into the stool, in my uncle’s house. And I was afraid to pull it out since there was something…dirty. Thus I flushed the stool instead. And, of course, the stool was stuck. I was afraid to confess that was made by me, and that made my uncle very angry and upset, he knew what I did, but he wouldn’t say. I felt ashamed very much, I was flushed faced to my uncle as if my blood vessel was stuck as the stool, and my blood couldn’t flow down as well as the soap. I hoped that I had the courage to confess and recognize it, and that’s one of my unnumbered lies I wasn’t courageous enough to confronted.

Favorite Writers and Things to Read
Who is your favorite writer? What is it about their writing style that you like? What kind of things do you most like to read (novels, non-fiction, short stories, poetry, articles) and why?
My favorite Czech writer is Bohumi Hrabul. Milan Kundera, who is also my favorite writer, praises him as the greatest writer in our era. Hrabul writes about the insignificant, low-level class people, and the people who are abandoned to the rubbish dump of the times. Hrabul uses words to mine the precious stone in their deeper soul. He’s a spectacular symbol wizard; he uses scenes, things, actions to symbolize thoughts, situations and life. His master-pieces spread a light isolating, lonely, and secluded scent.
My favorite Russian writer is Leo Tolstoy, who is classified as realism and existentialism writer. His works shows his advanced thought in his era, and he the writer sometimes appears in his words, to talk to reader directly. His novels concretely describe the characters’ thoughts and actions, and how their thoughts, feels, emotions affect their motions, actions, and behaviors.
My favorite Chinese writer is Xian-Yong Bai, who is an incredible writer still live in our era, I mean he is physically alive; the writers above are also still alive, spiritually. He is also a marvelous symbol genius. His works like the stars that are sprinkled over the sky, shining and puzzling. There are always some young birds stagger into his garden, and stunned by the azalea of red as blood, blooming so wildly, so violently. When we starts wanting to know more about his stories, when we are stirred up with his characters, they have been dimming already.
Well, I like reading them all. However, I most like reading novels, especially the ones have prose style and poetry style. Novels are interesting, and the style of prose and poetry makes them more beautiful, more imaginative, and more vivid. If fine feathers make fine birds, then fine style of prose and poetry makes the novels.
