NewYork Day 13

Today 12:00pm is Channing’s class, and we do summery and discuss about the artist JosonSmith and his great art “Earth art”.Because we will go to whitney mesuem next wed, channing give us a preview in this class.We sepreate into groups for 3 and try to summerize the things that on the paper , and then regroup to tell other classmate what we’ve summerized and go back to the original group and finish the whole summary again. I think it’s interesting and a little difficult for me because i have a bad memory and i am lazy to write down things. And also it’s a little diffacult to understand other classmate’s English.It’s really took a long time.As my word in perious article,Channing is a great teacher who know how to catch student’s mind.It’s a bit hard but i think it help a lot.

We must pay more attentation to this and try to explain it to other people, and try to figure out what other people want to tell us.it takes a lot of energy.But after that , we have more idea about JosonSmith and EarthArt , of course , including “The Spidal Jetty”.

At 14:00 we go to the dining car to buy our lunch.What i order is the Tom’s suggestion “chicken over rice”,he said there are many of his friends told him it’s cheap and delicious.Well , i think it’s really cheap compare to restaurant. I just spend USD$ 4 to buy one and plus a soda for $1. And i think the rice really enough for me , maybe too much.And well, it’s really delicious.

After that, we go to Susan’s class. I dont know why but Titan always want to skip this class just as same as last week.In Susan’s class, first we have a workshop to dicuss about the essay that we have wrote. We choose another people’s essay and tell others wht is his hook/introduction/body ph 123 talking about , etc. And i work with a korean people (i still cant judge the gender he/she is, i think maybe she),we try hard to figure masashi’s essay out and we failed. We cant understand why the space shuttle are related with the human’s life. After repeat reading his article,the meaning bump into my brain.I think what he try to tell us is that we cant only focus on the science program but the astronaut’s life is also inportant. Because we cant avoid accidents. yes,maybe.

And Hyun tell me that she totally cant understand what my essay talking about. I think i might need to say sorry to her because i didnt do English writting for a very long time, maybe for more than 4 years.In additional , i am really do hard in my class.After graguating from junior high , i didnt’s study English so hard i think. I have dropped it for really a long while.After this summer stay on NYC , i need to re-think about my future.

The second class we do some interesting evaluation about Americans’s value ,and compare it to our countries. I think we may have too much wrong impression about other country, so it’s become very interesting.

And i have invited korean friends to join our party tomorrow night,i will be very appreacite if they can come :)

After class , we go to the flushing with paula. I think there is nothing worthy talking about. Oh.. we ate dinner at a chinese restatrant , i think maybe Taiwan ways , named “刷刷鍋” and spend more then 10 dollars on it . And whe we want to pay the bill , the servlet tell us we cant use more the 5 penny ont it so BKO and inmore get angry and wanna to fight them XD. It’s a kind of joke that what they treate the custumers , especially we are talking in chinese.

and then , we go back home. we are very lucky that we can take the subway without waiting for a long time. Just an hour , we got home.

And I am going to complain about bko’s behavior. He told me that he will come to river , but when he arrived he didnt knock my door. I wait hime almost for 1 hr.I Don’t know how to say that, ok that’s fine. That’s all.

NewYork Day 12

Today I was really tired so that i didnt go out for a trip with bko and inmore and others.

In the morning, we has Miron’s class , and i and Jenny need to do a presentation ( everyone need to do a ten mins preseation for his favirote english song , and explain the lyrics and some background of the song to us. Because there is not enough space for all people to be a single group, so some are 2 in group). Originally we are number 2 of this presentation , but seems G has been late. so we are promoted to number 1 , and when i go into the class room , i saw the other Taiwanese guy who called “Titan” has the same suite “ESPRIT” on his body.I fell Orz suddenly , but i have no more time to think about it,and Miron ask “Bing-Yi, are you ready for a presentation? ” “Oh… Yes, of course” I answered. but in my heart there is another sound moaned “Of course not , i just enter the room , and i am not late , this class should not start at this time =__=.” I still go to the front of the room with Jenny.I start to write the basic information about this song on the board , include “Armageddon,Aerosmith,I dont want to miss a thing”, and start to introduce the song with the movie “Armageddon”. Jeanny is a very clever sister and she work really hard on it. She almost handle every thing!! And i think she really well-prepared this topic , so when i run out of my keyword and idea , she always can deal with it :) 。After the presentation she need to go to the airport to take his young brother home so she didnt see the comment from Miron I think :”Good fluency-good presentation” , Thanks ! Jenny :)

Other people introduce a lot of interesting somgs that some of them i have heard before and some of them are not. For instance , “Yesterday” , ” Gun and Rose ” etc .. it’s really an interesting class.

Lunch time , we go with the korean girls for lunch. We go to the chinese food restaurant , and talked , there are so many amazing thing that i cant believe. JIYEON’s chinese is really good and the other girl’s age are unbelieveable XD.

After lunch we have a lab class. today’s lesson is to watch the movie “Mr. Incredibles”. I have saw this movie before but with chinese subtitle , this time there’s no subtitle. The lesson has only 26 mins in part 1 but i cant wait so i continue to watch part2. I discovered that the part2 is 46 mins , this is really strange.

And later we have susan’s class. and we say the movie’s background. and someone introduce an artist but i am so tired that i cant focus on it and almost fall asleep.sorry :o

Originally i am going to see the show “Phantom of the Opera” but Paulla say there is no more ticket so i go back to dorm and sleep without going out because i am really tired. and now i wakeup and going to do my essay.

I am a really hard-working student ,am i huh?

good talking

even if i know you are just saying , not treat so serious but it’s ok , it’s enough for me. I am very happy and sleep well yesterday night. Thank you. I will be very appreciarted if i really have the chance to travel with you. Everything just doesn’t matter because it only happend in my dream.

I think i’ve already loved to travel.
especially with someone else , it will be really nice.

Can dreams come true ? let’s wait and see.

In addition, i think i must learn japanese first and earn more money.let me think about it.

NewYork Day 11

Day 11 。 Today is really excellent.
其實今天是 11 點的課,可是我跟 jenny 約十點見面要 discuss 明天的 homework ,其實我啥都沒作,可是既然他這麼認真的話我也只好奉陪。到了之後我們就把他的東西分一分之後就跑去上課了。

其實每次上完 Susan’s class 之後都不太影啥印象,只是他告訴我們說今天晚上 Peter 會帶他們班出去玩,叫我們要跟可以跟,因為 Peter 是個超棒的 tour guild。然後告訴我們說 essay 可以自己選 topic ,然後 jenny 很驚訝的發現 channing’s class 不是今天要去博物館 XD。

channing’s class 依然還是玩遊戲為主,其實年輕老師的交法比較懂得抓住學生的心,上課比較容易專注,這點是值得學習的。很機車的是在課堂上 inmore 狂打電話,害我狂掛電話,直到下課我打回去他們才說他們現在在海邊,要給我聽聽海的聲音,人後因為我剛下課已經五點了,他們坐車到那裡據說要花一個小時。於是他要我先聯絡 Ellen 看怎樣再說。於是我就跑回宿舍去找 Ellen ,不過電話不通門也敲沒人應,想說那算了,那去跟 Peter 他們走好了。反正我希望的是能夠多一點練習英文的機會。跑去 Lewisohn hall 前面集合的時候打了幾通給 Ellen 還是打不通,之前最後一通實在搞不清楚他再說啥於是就想說算了,跟 Susan 他們走吧。

沒想到後來發現又幾乎全是台灣人跟韓國人。而且我們是 5a , Peter 那班是 8b =_______= ,程度的差別真的只有 Orz 能形容。我好希望我能在這種班級裡阿 @_@”。今天的行程我覺得真的是我來紐約以來安排的最好的一次。路程的長短都安排適中,又剛好都有景點能夠休息。加上今天天氣實在非常晴朗,比起上次去布魯克林橋跟昨天去帝國大廈,真是差超級多。不過當我要拿出來照相的時候發現我幹了非常蠢的是。因為趕著回家換包包,我把相機跟腳架塞進去之後就匆匆忙忙的出門了。可是相機鋰面是沒有電池的,而且備用電池我早上拿到大包包忘了換過來。 -__________-”"”。天阿,有沒有這麼蠢阿。

從河濱公園看回紐約的景色真的是超讚的。可是手上卻沒相機,而且我竟然還忘記我的 K750i 能照 -_-。然後跑去吃 pizza,花了 USD $12 ,不過我覺得蠻特別的,雖然沒很好吃,不過不錯。再吃飯的時候認識了坐在附近的人,赫然發現有人跟我同一天生日 =__=。然後那位很辣 jue 英文也是超溜的,他說他從 sep 4 就到了,到快一年了。八月會跑回去可是他還想再多留一年,這個班級的學生英文真的都很正。說的很自然而且幾乎都沒口音。超級利害的。

吃飽飯後跑去吃 “The best american’s icecream” ,其實也很讚。只是我耍了一點白吃多花了一點錢 =__=,應該要說 not 2 cups 的 =__=,沒聽董 Orz。

後來跑去橋下的公園,夜景也是只有讚。可是我沒帶相機,唉。後來看到 G 手上的像機操作介面很 olympus ..於是看了一下發現是 5500 ,於是我就教他拍了幾張 XD ,拍出來的效果真是爆讚,真的很懊惱沒帶電池出門。跟 G 跟 Jue 跟 Susan and Peter 溝通都得用英文,所以今天著時說了不少英文,真是個不錯的經驗。雖然我知道我的英文很破,他們都要很用力聽才知道我再說啥 Orz …不過沒辦法阿,誰叫我是 5A =__=。

最後走布魯克林橋回家,天氣實在是超好,比我們那天好太多了。而且後來發現其實布魯克林橋並沒很長。而且走下來之後可以走去 Park place 搭二號線回去,很快又不用轉兩次,之前都在耍笨。

回家之後 bko 他們還沒回來,不過我相信我今天應該不會玩的比他們差才是 ^_^。寶拉說這禮拜六要辦同樂會,然後明天他們還要去看一次歌劇魅影,害我想去看,可惡 =__=”。

明天應該很快樂,很藝術。早上 Miron’s class 視聽音樂,下午看電影,晚上看歌劇 ^_^ happyhappy…功課不知道在哪裡 XDXD。

NewYork Day 10

Marion’s Class 我們再討論上一次沒討論完的 Jazz ,但是我真的是對這中東西一點素養都沒有所以不知道該怎樣討論。不過好家在是跟我討論的人也不知道這鼕鼕啥是啥,所以我們很快就都放棄了轉移到別的話題 @_@”。再後來分組的時候因為不知道怎樣於是就變成我得跟 Jenny 同一組。我想 Jenny 可能是我們班上最認真的學生吧,功課都案時作而且都洋洋灑灑一大篇,所以跟他分到同一組實在是有點辛苦,因為下課才剛分完他就提議說三點來 meeting …,為了讓他不會覺得台威學生都很不認真我只好答應了 XD,不過有趣的是 paula 姐接剛好在我們決定完之後打電話來說要找我去買票,因為一個人只能買八張,所以他晚了一部 @_@。

跑去超市買了水跟中餐還有一灌飲料之後就跑回宿舍去了,不得不提一下,這邊的純品康納著實便宜,一灌 1.89 L 的才 USD $2.xx 相對於紐約的物價來說實在是便宜到爆。另外,中餐買的 dumpings 實在很難吃,而且還要三塊 =__=”。回家找了找歌的資料帶著 NB 就出門了,我找的是 Aerosmith 的 I dont want to miss a thing,本來是叫鴨子幫我找,後來忽然想到有邪惡辜狗,真的一兩分鐘就抓到了 XD 感謝辜狗大神。

三點韓國人很準時出現了,不過我在那邊搞那個詭異的無線網路搞了快五分鐘,真是尷尬 =__=,最後決定用我這首歌。

然後回家之後我開始玩 Google Map/Earth ,天啊,在曼哈頓島超有用的吧。Google 真是超神奇的。後來 BKO 說要去 empire state building ,然後叫我跟淫魔先去買腳架,可是淫魔告訴我的時候已經是 4:30 ..只好等他們回來一起走。不過 BKO 五點打回來說他要找他們班的日本人去所以約 5:40 …那時真的超 Orz …早知道我就先去。

不出所料,約 5:40 .. bko 到 5:5x 才到地鐵站。

後來我跟 inmore 跑去鴨子很辛苦找到的 B&H 買東西,沒想到這間店真是超級無敵大的,而且超過大砲管可以任意把玩,真是超級有趣的店。雖然說東西並沒有比較便宜,當然阿,這裡是紐約,不過這間店規模真的大的很誇張,都只賣攝影相關器材可以開到跟愛買差不多大,而且 sales agent 到處都是。重點是還有很多人會講中文 =__=” ,最後買了個 22 塊的,加完稅 27.x ..再台灣大概三百多塊能搞定吧,足足多了三倍,不過只能怪自己呆沒鄉想到。錢還是得花。

回去的時候 bko 他們已經快吃完了,跑去一間叫做 Tad’s Steak 的牛排店吃東西,奇怪的是竟然是自助的,而且牛肉超大塊,然後我跟淫魔 share 一份,還是覺得很大塊。一個人大概花 11 塊吃到超大塊又烤的不錯的莎朗,其實很棒。

後來就排了超長的隊上去 empire state building,然後上去就是狂照。最後剛好遇到 C.P. 的 concert 結束的時候在方煙火,超漂亮的。不過很可惜的是拍不起來,技術太濫了。

回程搭 M4 回去,而且司機大哥超好的沒感我們下車直接載著我們繞,今天的行程算是很順利的一次。

回家,MSN 是令人喜悅的。連洗澡都忘了,帶著滿足的心情去睡覺。

是的,我忘了有功課了 XD。
