35歳生日大驚!!!

看來I'm in my early thirties.這句話離我愈來愈遠了!
昨天中午正當我在午睡時接到了一通不出聲音的電話,接著就收到一通接一通的簡訊,才看完一通就又來了一通...而且每一通的訊息都是從不同的人傳來的,簡訊內容還得串起來!!!我立刻撥電話給發給我第一通簡訊的琬鈞,我問她你們是不是全都在一起!她說沒有,她人在北港,一群人是先講好時間陸續發出來的!當時我覺得真感動,這個生日禮真是有創意!上完第五節,幸怡老師忽然跑到202教室跟我說辦公室有我的電話,結果是大黑!他說要跟我約晚上吃飯的時間,還跟我講一堆從彰師騎摩托車到忠明要多少時間,還要等心機,載大點等等的話,又說他忽然看到心機,問我要不要跟心機說話....接著心機又來講了一堆...我就跟他說,晚上不是要一起吃飯嗎,到時候再聊嘍!接著,第六節上課了,202小老師很開心地跑來,我想是不是全班又要起立唱生日歌給我聽!果不其然,一進教室就有人喊起立!但這聲音太熟悉了,一看過去育誠就坐在最後一排!!!再往旁邊看,就看到壯壯,大黑,心機,梓瑋,坦克,再仔細一看就看到大點,會長,雅心,最後看到坐在第一排的仲汶!看到你們穿著制服在位子上,我真的驚訝到說不出話!雖然你們說看不出來我很驚訝,但我真的嚇傻了,所以不知該說些什麼話!只是一直笑,其實我鼻酸了,眼淚差點流下來,因為很開心看到你們,而且很感動,感覺回到了高三4!!!梓瑋還代表送了我"棗子""生雞蛋""桂圓紅棗茶""紫菜"!!!你們真是太貼心了啦!
我一向自認自己很精明,不過你們的演技真的很好,育誠原來從上週就一直在騙我,說什麼星期一課太多,沒法從中壢趕回來和我吃晚餐...!大黑和心機,我真的以為你們通電話時還在彰師正趕著去上課!
第六節下課回到辦公室又看到從苗栗回來的螞蟻,隨後曉慧和謀文也來了,連遠在台北的阿猴都趕回來了!晚餐時,還有一位不能透露身份的神秘嘉賓!
我真的非常感動,可是你們不讓我請你們吃飯,害我覺得很難過!開車回家的路上,我整個人超不專心!真的覺得自己好幸福,有你們這些可愛的學生!!!

PS.感謝所有在FACEBOOK留言給我,傳簡訊給我,寫EMAIL給我,寫卡片給我,做卡片給我,寫信給我祝我生日快樂的朋友/家人/學生們!!!沒辦法一一道謝,只能在這裡抒發我對你們的感謝!!!I LOVE YOU!!! Truly, Madly, Deeply!!!

臺灣真的有這麼小嗎?

台中市辦全國運動會時,我們放了一個禮拜的假...老師們中很多去了日本和墾丁!而我呢從日本變成花蓮變成了北海岸!!!唉!我就是這麼善變:)第一天先去了真理大學和淡江中學,真的很漂亮!中午去淡水,居然在老街遇見了3個學生!!!第二天去金瓜石,又在黃金博物園區遇到2個學生!晚上住的民宿是以前在台北教書時帶學生去玩所住的"雲山水",但現在已經租給別人重新裝潢成"緩慢"民宿了!住在這裡可以看山看雲和看海看美麗的公路,所以我超愛這個地方!想到以前阿政老闆都會帶著一群學生去爬廢煙道(一長排學生坐在上頭照相超有趣),走秘道到十三層遺址的上方學張宇拍MTV,到可愛的濂洞國小滑從二樓下到一樓教室的溜滑梯,晚上提著燈籠去夜遊遠跳大肚美人山,還會帶著大家放天燈!現在改裝成民宿,再也沒有機會帶一大群學生來了!!!(以前從雲山水望向另一個山頭提著燈籠夜遊的學生們,一長串紅光在寧靜的夜晚看起來真的好有FEEL!)
最後一天我們去了鼻頭角,那裏真的很美!

Irreplaceable

For S103,
Listen to the song and enjoy the MV at:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsQvXgCcng8

This song vividly depicts how a girl feels when she is betrayed by her lover. Do you believe that you'll find true love in your life? Or do you think there's no such thing as eternal love?

She's so vulnerable!

For S202 & S206,
Hope that you all like this song and don't forget the key word "vulnerable".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5ObcR4sIes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqO5vcVpAtw&feature=related

You'll be able to see what the two singers look like in either version.

I can't help falling in love with you!!!

For S103,
Do you still remember what I taught you in class today?
***can't help + Ving***

來自彰化的訪客

星期三晚上,心機和大黑居然打電話給我說要來家裡坐!這是我教書以來,首二位到大甲來找我的喔!為了紀念,所以決定打在網誌裡!先前在台北教,帶完他們三年後就離開台灣,所以學生也沒得找我!後來回來就在台中市教,所以學生也不可能到家裡!哈...這就是我的陰謀啦!有學生問我怎麼不回大甲教,我當然不想嘍!這樣我就算穿著拖鞋走在大甲街,或者頭髮亂七八糟地在散步,也不會被認出來啦!

For S206,
I was very happy to see that most of you did your utmost to complete your task! The winners are as follows.

Group 1
Love is water,
Something we can't live without.
Love is underwear,
Invisible but important.

Group 4
Love is the sunlight,
Light up my life.
Love is the twilight,
Faint but stays forever in my mind.

Group ???
Love is the sky,
Mostly sunny but sometimes rainy.
Love is the feather,
Soft but easy to disappear.
Love is coffee,
Bitter but tasty.
Love is everything,
Enrich my life.
Love is my guide,
Take me far and wide.

Warm us in winter.
Family is the water,
Give us power.
Family is an eraser,
Wipe away our tears.
********

The second place goes to.....Group 3
********
Happiness is the kite,
Enable us to fly high.
Hapiness is the twilight,
Take us through the night.
Happiness is the apple pie,
Make us smile.
Happiness is the sunshine,
Light up our life.
********

A low-profile girl's version
********
Truth is a gun,
Hurt someone cruelly.
Truth is the sun,
Keep the lie hidden in the shadow usually.
Truth is the only one
Won't change easily.
********

How wonderful your works are!!!

"莫來了"颱風

昨天早上為了幫自己和爸爸拿藥,冒著風雨開車去嘉義!一下竹崎交流道就有點後悔,路上已有些積水,聯絡道旁的小山坡流下好多水,有一段馬路整個淹好高,還一直往下流,我停在積水前5分鐘,不知該不該強行通過...但都開了一小時的車來到嘉義,沒拿到藥就回去怎麼行,只好硬著頭皮開過去,幸好車子沒拋錨!拿完藥要回家,想說改走中埔交流道好了,結果整條彌陀路大積水,更慘的是通往中埔交流道的橋居然封了!!!只好硬著頭皮再繞回竹崎交流道!!!一路上雨下得好大,每過一條橋心裏都毛毛的,回到家時鬆了好大一口氣!!!以後千萬不能小看颱風!
我們的政府能不能不要再為了消化預算或擴大內需到處亂挖路&舖路了!!!改善一下我們的氣象設備,好好補強各地的橋樑,...好多事可以做,難道所有的政府官員都沒有願景嗎???

記憶力大考驗

星期一背完高二2全班的名字,星期二背完高二6...但到星期四時,又有幾個忘記了,兩個班有些面孔,有些名字會搞在一起...有雅竹,雅淇,雅如,雅惠,雅芬,雅莉,雅茹...有昀蓁,郁蓁...有佩慈,欣慈...有淳堯,景堯...有哲豪,舜豪...有兩個佳妤,還有珮伃和婉妤...有女生梓鈞和男生子鈞...有彥舟,彥辰,彥霖...有怡庭,怡君,怡婷...有貞諭,有尹瑜...有采妮,鳯妮...還有一個信志(和以前的信志不同,很有活力的樣子喔!)
不知道過完週末後,下禮拜會不會又把很多名字忘記了

夜遊

過了好久好久規律的生活了,上星期五決定上台北去找朋友,這是我這個暑假唯一一次出去玩!結果高老居然邀我們去看夜景!我大概有四年的時間沒有熬夜了,一開始有些猶豫,因為10:30是我的睡覺時間吔!後來,還是去了!
想當年念大學時情侶都會去文化大學後山看夜景,大家都是騎摩托車去,也只能停在路旁坐在摩托車上看台北夜景!這次卻是開車去,而且沿途已經開滿了餐廳!他帶我們去一家叫"草山夜未眠"的餐廳!人好多啊!台北人真的都不睡覺的吔!我們一直聊到淩晨2:00才離開,回到旅館CHECK-IN時已經是2:30了!結果我星期六和星期日都在想睡覺,果然夜遊這種事,還是只能大學的時候做...

暑假真的結束了!

今天是暑輔第二天,看到很多畢業的學生,覺得很開心!每次走到五樓,看不到自己熟悉的學生,感覺怪怪的!不過我又有新學生嘍!這兩天忙著背高二4和6的學生名字,希望未來兩年,大家能開心學英文,英文大進步!
每年送走一批學生,又認識一批學生,這可能是當老師的悲傷與樂趣吧!想想我每年都能認識好多人吔!今年至少會認識150個人喔!

304"畢業同學會"

FOR304同學,
拖到現在才放照片,實在是因為這是我參加過最"詭異"的"謝師宴",早知道只有導師我會參加,我就不會叫你們辦了...可能還是應該做回原本的我自己吧!以前在台北教書時,因為年輕根本不甩這一套,我才不管會不會對教我班的任課老師失禮,我說不辦就不辦!步入中年後,人情世故比較會去注意,卻有今年這樣的結果...
有些同學可能以為老師可以吃免費的一餐都會想參加吧...其實,我相信大多數的老師都不是這麼想的...很多老師都是不想參加的,但又怕有學生是真心地在邀約,拒絕學生,學生可能會失望,也怕學生不是真心地邀約,去了會被學生以為很愛吃或很想吃免費這一餐...所以每年很多老師都會天人交戰...
所以,以後我要做勇敢的老師,不再辦也不再參加謝師宴!
大家如果要看照片,就點選下列的連結吧!

(301謝師宴)

2009序曲

上一篇文章是在去年的11月打的,沒想到這麼快過了3個月...其實想想也可以說是很漫長...這之間發生了許多事...回頭去想想也沒什麼,日子不是一樣在過嗎?
此刻的我已經沈澱了...以前的同事覺得我現在好像都悶悶的,我個人覺得還好,只是我現在在過另一種生活,在朋友間也比較不想搞笑了!
