src="http://p1.p.pixnet.net/albums/userpics/1/1/419411/1206417021.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">在美國東岸</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">排球沒有像西岸那麼盛行</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">打球的機會不少</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">不過競爭並沒有很激烈</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">如果想要打比賽的話</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">除了學校的校內競賽之外</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">校外業餘的比賽就分成league以及tournament兩種</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">tournament通常像是錦標賽</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">會在一個周末緊迫的賽程打完</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">league則是每週有一到兩場的比賽</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">需要打一個球季</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">我們打的這個比賽是Raleigh的Roberts公園辦的城市聯盟(City league)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">大約是從一月開始進行比賽</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">比賽是混排形式</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">沒有其他特別規定</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">我們隊上的三位女生都是學校女排社的隊員</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">而目前為止男生還沒有排球社</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">不過另外兩個男生球也都打得很好(而且又高)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">其他參賽隊伍則大多是一些社會人士</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">以娛樂為主</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">再搭配一兩個高手</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">所以我們在長約3個月的季賽中維持全勝戰績先取得季冠軍</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">決賽當天</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">我們先擊敗我們這組的亞軍跟季軍</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">再跟另外一組的冠軍爭總冠軍</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">對手並不強</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">我們也因而順利拿下總冠軍</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">雖然沒有你死我活的大亂鬥</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">但是跟大家一起奮戰拿下冠軍還是很開心</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">其實有被邀請我就已經很開心了^^</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Anyway, 希望往後的比賽大家還可以聚在一起</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">拿更多的冠軍!!</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">後記:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">美國這邊夏天的球賽</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">幾乎就是一面倒的沙灘或是草地球賽</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">(外國人好愛曬太陽阿><)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">這類型的球賽特別是沙排</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">真的是很不好打</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">最近進行好幾次的巡迴賽我都沒參加(也沒被找就是了XD)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">不過</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">我還是喜歡打室內的球賽啦^^</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">P.S. 美國沒有像台灣那種室外硬地球場</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">他們覺得那很傷膝蓋(這是事實阿~~~)</span><br /><br /><br

Bon Jovi<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Bon Jovi這個名字</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">我相信對於喜歡聽搖滾樂的人們一定不陌生</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">他們幾乎可以算是我小時候接觸搖滾樂所聽的第一個樂團</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">從去年大約11月知道Bon Jovi要來北卡開演唱會</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">馬上就迫不及待上網買了票</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">3月16號當天</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">懷著興奮的心情</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">我來到了這個距離Raleigh大約一小時車程的城市-- Greensboro</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">進場之後</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">發現真的是座無虛席</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GcrLPVWScw0/SALkZK42JCI/AAAAAAAABNM/Bga5T0qvXz0/s1600-h/20080316%28007%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto

id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188960841754879010" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">看看我的位置在舞台斜後方</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">我可是當天一開放售票就上網搶卻還是買到這樣的位置哩</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">大家就知道Bon Jovi的魅力可見一斑</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">另外就是當時有聽說演唱會會不讓人家帶相機</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">所以我就自己裝乖不敢帶</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">沒想到根本沒有管><</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">所以我只好用鱉腳的手機相機拍照</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">畫質都很差</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">客倌們就勉強看個大概吧^^|||</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">在主角演唱之前</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">都會有特別來賓先行表演</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">今天演唱會的暖身樂團不是別人</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">正是我最近很喜歡的樂團-- Daughtry</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">主唱Chris Daughtry是American Idol第五季第三名的選手</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">更是北卡當地人</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">後來組了這個樂團</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">在美國造成轟動</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">他們的歌真的非常好聽</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">下面是我非常喜歡的一首<br />(來源:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxUQ653O6Os)<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kxUQ653O6Os&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed

style="font-family:arial;">在Daughtry把場子炒熱之後</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">主角Bon Jovi登場</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">首先先以一首新專輯的主打歌"Lost Highway"出場</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GcrLPVWScw0/SALkZa42JDI/AAAAAAAABNU/pBXhqeYFR-k/s1600-h/20080316%28022%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;"

style="font-family:arial;">接下來就是陸續將新歌與一些經典名曲穿插演唱</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">觀眾每個人幾乎都High到整場跟著搖擺而捨不得坐下</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Jon Bon Jovi都50幾歲了一樣魅力十足</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GcrLPVWScw0/SALkZa42JEI/AAAAAAAABNc/L0aktAagB60/s1600-h/20080316%28030%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;"

style="font-family:arial;">後來吉他手Richie也客串唱了一首歌</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">"為什麼呢?"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">為了要讓Jon再第二段以帥氣的紅襯衫出現在場中央</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">觀眾都忍不住放聲尖叫</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">全場活力四射的演出在一首Living on a Prayer中劃下句點</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">不過</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">大家都知道這不是最後</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">所以都極力鼓譟~~現場的噪音真的是飆到最高最高點</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">果然</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">在萬眾期待下</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Bon Jovi再次出場為大家演唱了三首歌</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">大家才依依不捨的離去</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">呼~~我只能說</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">真是過癮</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">一直到當天晚上上床睡覺</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">我的耳邊都還是鼓聲的節奏咚咚作響</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">下次有機會一定還要去聽更多更棒的演場會!!</span><br /><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1'

/>農曆年的文章拖到現在才寫~~還請大家見諒阿^^<br />因為美國人不放農曆年(廢話~這裡是美國)<br />所以已經好多年沒有辦法在台灣享受濃濃的過年氣息了<br /><br />今年的過年恰巧離小弟生日不遠<br />所以不甘寂寞的我<br />還是覺得應該要慶祝一下<br />因此決定洗手作羹湯<br />順便邀請一些朋友來家裡慶祝同歡<br /><br />這次主要邀請的對象都是我在學校打球認識的朋友<br />是一群青春洋溢的大學生<br />重要的是~~他們都沒有嫌我老~還願意跟我做朋友~真是太感動了 ~>__<~<br /><br />另外就是我的兩位外國情侶室友<br />還有來自台灣的室友念萱以及她的男友Ubaldo<br /><br />當天可是起了大早準備材料<br />切菜洗菜醃肉~每項工作似乎都很平常<br />但是要準備十來人份的餐點還真不輕鬆<br /><br />一路忙到晚上<br />最後真的煮得滿桌豐盛菜餚<br />有三杯雞~炒米粉~珍珠丸~水餃+煎餃(自己包的)~還有珍奶綠茶<br />但是我居然因為太興奮忘記照相<br />等到想起來時已經一片狼籍<br />後來也只拍了幾張還有剩的食物~~<br /><br />恩~~此景只待成追憶~~感慨感慨<br /><br />我的這些朋友們大家都稱讚好吃<br />雖然我不知道這些東西到底是不是真的合他們口味<br />不過~~大家開心就好啦<br />(剩的食物還讓我帶了好幾天便當哩^^)<br /><br />另外值得一提的是<br />我的室友念萱是在這邊工作的糕餅師傅<br />所以他幫我考了一個大蛋糕<br />用了我最愛的奶油+香草<br />真相在此<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://p1.p.pixnet.net/albums/userpics/1/1/419411/1205900017.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;

/>"是"很好"的蛋糕!!"<br /><br />逗得大家開懷大笑<br /><br />另外我們也特地留了一些餡料讓他們體驗自己親手包水餃<br />另一位朋友更是突發奇想把五片水餃皮連在一起包成一個超大餃<br />當然~這裡也有真相<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://p1.p.pixnet.net/albums/userpics/1/1/419411/1205900031.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://p1.p.pixnet.net/albums/userpics/1/1/419411/1205900031.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />此外~因為他們知道是農曆新年<br />還堅持要我敎他們說"新年快樂"的中文<br />臨走之前還不忘拜了好幾次年<br />真是令人開心阿<br /><br />總之<br />實在很感謝大家的捧場<br />謝謝念萱的幫忙才能讓我排滿一整桌<br />當然更謝謝她的蛋糕<br />雖然累<br />但是一切都很值得啦!!!<br /><br />其他照片也都在<a href="http://www.pixnet.net/album/assiduoushy/13616566/1">相簿</a>中<br />歡迎捧場喔~~<br /><br /><br /><br

style="font-size:85%;">拖稿很久~~<br />是時候還一下稿債了^^||<br />況且~再不寫~記憶就愈來愈模糊啦~~(老了老了><) <br /><br />這篇就寫寫這次回台灣比較特別的經驗好了 <br /><br />*媽媽的味道<br />最棒的當然還是媽媽的愛心料理<br />雖然沒有很多餐在家裡吃<br />但是媽媽的味道還是天下第一阿!!<br />可惜的是回台灣因為都在感冒~~沒吃到媽媽做的芒果青~~殘念>< <br /><br />*外婆的巧手<br />外婆的料理也都無可挑剔<br />她的麻油雞也是一絕<br />這次她也特別幫我做了麻油雞<br />真是有夠好吃^^<br />特別值得一提的是她的滷蛋<br />別小看這平易的料理<br />目前為止還沒吃過比外婆滷的還要好吃的滷蛋<br />不過這次回高雄只待兩晚~~沒吃到~~殘念2 <br /><br />*小舅的羊肉攤<br />小舅在高雄鳳山開羊肉攤<br />小舅跟舅媽跟羊肉料理應該是獨一無二的<br />特別是快炒<br />不但又香又好吃而且還沒腥味<br />是每次回高雄一定要品嘗的<br />廣告一下<br />地點在高雄縣鳳山光遠路上靠近中華市場<br />店名是"阿嬌怡羊肉"<br />如果有住高雄的朋友記得多多光顧捧場阿 <br /><br />*士林夜市<br />台灣夜市小吃不用多說<br />是世界絕無僅有的<br />也是回台灣一定要走幾趟的<br />蚵仔煎~臭豆腐~麵線~甜不辣~還有好多好多<br />想到我又流口水啦!! <br /><br />*台灣高鐵<br />高鐵是在我出國之後才通車的<br />之前一直沒機會搭<br /> 趁這次回國回高雄的機會<br />趕快去體驗一下<br />舒適平穩~加上一瞬間就到高雄<br />真是方便快速的交通工具<br />我坐在窗邊瀏覽窗外的風光<br />都有一種快流淚的感覺~~台灣真的在進步阿!! <br /><br />*貓空纜車<br />對貓空這地方也有一份特殊的情感<br />小時候住在木柵<br />爸爸常常利用假日帶我們上山<br />但是以前的印象就是<br />上山一定要大塞車<br />上了大學之後<br />貓空也是大家常常機車一騎就前往的娛樂好所在<br />經常是泡茶聊天打牌就過一整晚<br />貓纜也是在我出國之後通車<br />20分鐘就從動物園到山上~沿途的大台北夜景更是以往沒有纜車時所看不到的視野<br />路程才不過一半 又有想掉淚的感覺 ~>_<~ (好個多愁善感的小子)<br /><br />*台北101<br />101是我在台灣時就已經落成<br />不過這次回去才第一次上觀景台<br />不過室外觀景台因為當天整修也沒能上去~~殘念3<br />另外就是跨年當天長達3分鐘的新年煙火<br />真是氣勢驚人<br />雖然第一高樓的位置可能很快就要被追過<br />不過這樣的回憶是一直會留在心中的!!<br /><br />*好友相聚<br />這次回台灣<br />跟國小國中高中大學的朋友都有見到面<br />雖然還是有一些朋友因為時間不能配合而錯過<br />不過還是非常非常開心<br />大家也都各自有很好的發展<br />希望大家還是都可以時時保持聯絡+友誼長存<br /><br />一些照片也放在<a href="http://www.pixnet.net/album/assiduoushy/13463684">相簿</a>中囉<br /><br />總之~~真的很愛台灣這塊土地<br />再怎麼說~還是回家最好<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

/>當然也要天氣好<br />李阿姐就跟我說德州在下雨看不到<br />所以照片給沒看到的人解解饞囉 ^__^<br /><br />至於變成紅銅色而不是全黑的原因<br />線民的說法如下<br /><br />"當發生月全蝕時~月球並不是全黑看不見~而是變成</span> <span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >奇異的紅銅色<br />這是太陽光線射入地球大氣層~折射而照到月球表面產生的效果"<br /><br />今天外面只有攝氏5度左右<br />照相等到我手都凍僵了<br />不過這是我生平第一次看月全蝕<br />還是很開心老天有賞臉啦~~~<br /><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >從2005年7月底離開台灣到美國求學之後<br />因為實驗以及論文的緣故<br />一直沒有機會回家<br />每每聽到有同學要回家度假<br />對我來說都只有羨慕的份<br /><br />在千辛萬苦找到指導教授之後<br />第一件事就是馬上向老師詢問寒假回家的可能性<br /><br />"老師~寒假有可能需要我...我...做什麼事嗎"<br /><br />"寒假沒特別要忙~的確可以安排假期"<br /><br />心裡的聲音 "爽~~終於可以回家了"<br />實際的聲音 "Thank you Dr.xxx~"<br /><br />接下來幾天<br />就馬上打電話問機票<br />從東岸打到西岸~再從西岸打回東岸<br />大多不是沒有位置不然就是超貴<br />沒辦法~耶誕假期是一年最昂貴的時段~~<br /><br />好不容易問到一張價格還算合理~時間也好的票<br />二話不說就定了<br />也因此從9月底開始<br />我就天天在倒數<br /><br />終於~12月18這一天到了<br />這天~美國很冷<br />早上室友載我出門時<br />還要清理結冰的車窗<br />我飛到底特律轉機時~也還是滿地積雪<br /><br />但是~who cares??<br />因為我要回家啦~~~~!!!!<br /><br />一路加轉機總共約24小時的航程<br />我幾乎一路都沒闔上眼<br />除了興奮還是興奮<br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >回想兩年多來的一切<br />一直不敢相信自己正在回家的路上<br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><br />飛機降落在中正機場的跑道上時<br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >眼淚都差點飆出來~<br />不過男兒有淚不輕彈<br />堅強的我終究還是強忍住了淚水~~(嘔......)<br /><br />不過~戲都是一定要這樣演<br />我的扥運行李居然就硬是不肯出現<br />等呀等的~幾乎等到最後一批才拿到我的行李<br />我早就等不及想見在外面等候多時的爸爸媽媽了!!!!<br /><br />"弟弟阿~~~"<br /><br />我聽到親切又熟悉的媽媽的聲音<br /><br />"媽媽~我在這裡"<br /><br />看倌們~~你們覺得要想演連續劇一樣從遙遠的地方開始奔跑然後慢動作擁抱嗎<br /><br />..<br />..<br />..<br /><br />其實沒有<br />我們都很含蓄的啦^^|||<br /><br />不過媽媽看到我倒是一直皺著眉<br /><br />"怎麼變這麼瘦~是不是都沒在吃?"<br /><br />"有啦~~不用擔心"<br /><br />Anyway~~我回家了<br />真的回家了<br />這兩週半的假期<br />我要好好享受!!<br /><br />(待續)<br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >這個blog系統"blogger"<br />是google收購而來的個人網誌平台<br />當初會選擇使用它是因為自己已經有google帳號<br />再加上不小的網路空間<br /><br />用了一陣子之後<br />大致上功能都還不錯<br />但是卻有一些小地方覺得未臻完美<br />像是沒有觀看統計.最新文章列表還有新進留言<br />重要的是連訂閱鍵都沒有<br />當初自己還暗自叫罵一番<br /><br />事實證明<br />原來自己才是井底之蛙<br />研究一下blogger的討論版之後<br />發現它的功能應有盡有<br />主要是因為它的語法結構跟其他部落格系統不大一樣(人家說的~我也不大懂XD)<br />所以很多東西都要自己外加<br /><br />最近我把上述那些我想要的功能全都加進我的網誌裡了<br />也希望舊雨新知多多觀賞指教<br />不嫌棄的話也可以訂閱喔^^<br /><br />我會繼續多寫文章來回報大家的^^<br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

Volleyball NCSU VS Maryland<span style="font-size:85%;">認識我的人應該都知道<br />我最愛的運動就是排球<br />但是我的blog目前為止卻沒有任何一篇跟排球有關<br /><br />恩~其實是很怕一但寫下去就會不能克制地寫太多<br />但是<br />總是要開始的<br />那麼~就從這場球寫起吧<br /><br />美國的學校除了西岸之外鮮少有男排校隊<br />大學比賽都是以女排為主<br /><br />以前在A&M的時候<br />只要在排球球季中<br />就一定都會去看個一兩場球<br />當時一場排球賽的門票是美金7元<br />比起一場動輒70元的football球賽實在是便宜到不行<br /><br />到了NC State之後<br />就一直想找機會去看球<br />終於在一次的週五晚上有球賽~我也正好有空<br />所以就到了學校的體育館<br /><br />咦~怎麼不知道要從哪裡進去哩<br />也找不到地方買票<br />繞了一圈<br />決定隨便找一個門開進去<br /><br />咦~~也沒人管門<br />好吧<br />就進去啦<br /><br />偷偷摸摸到了裡面<br />一直很怕自己看了霸王球<br />結果好不容易找到比賽的簡介<br />上面寫著"Free admission"<br />呼~~害我緊張半天>< <br /><br />這是練球時的照片<br /><br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GcrLPVWScw0/R6VkKzcIOOI/AAAAAAAABGM/ZA8BK70PoGI/s1600-h/IMG_0370.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;"

/>也不像A&M還有樂隊演奏以及yell leader帶動氣氛<br />觀眾不多<br />大家也都冷冷的看著球<br /><br />對手Maryland看起來並不強<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

/>再看一次簡介<br />阿娘為!!<br />這場比賽之前的戰績是0勝23敗<br />這也難怪了~~(茶)<br /><br />就當作是感受現場氣氛囉<br /><br />希望下個球季她們可以表現得更好~讓我們可以看更高水準的球賽<br /><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1'

/>不過學姊還是計畫在當週週末出遊<br />我也很榮幸在受邀之列<br /><br />這次的旅行目的地是北卡有名的"Blue Ridge Parkway"國家風景區<br />最著名的就是秋天整片山野變色的美景<br />因此每年秋天總是吸引大批遊客前往<br /><br />因為今天的秋天來得遲<br />本來就有聽說山上顏色還不漂亮<br />但是因為已經計畫好了<br />大家也就硬著頭皮去了<br /><br />到了山上<br />顏色果然都沒有像明信片那樣吸引人<br />但是因為和大家一起同樂<br />加上當天的烤肉野炊加露營<br />整個旅程還是很有趣<br />明年一定還要再去的啦<br /><br />雖然照片不多<br />我還是放在我的相簿上囉<br />以下是連結<br /><br /><a

style="font-size:85%;">因為故事太複雜<br />所以我決定用代號表示<br />希望大家不會眼花撩亂阿<br /><br />大家應該都知道<br />我會離開德州<br />是因為我原本的老闆M老師到法國工作(私人公司)<br />就在我剛到美國一年的時候<br /><br />所以在沒有老闆的狀況下完成了碩士學位<br />申請到了現在的學校NC State<br />之所以會到NCSU是因為之前的M老師推薦我來這邊找H老師<br />我還在德州時就自己飛來一趟拜訪H老師<br />但H老師表示他沒有funding可以資助我<br />我也照實向M老師報告<br />M老師說<br /><br />"到NCSU就對了"<br />"哪個老師都可以"<br /><br />於是我透過系上網頁<br />寫Email連絡幾個我感興趣的老師<br />終於<br />N老師回信說他有經費也有計畫<br />要跟我電話interview<br />我們約好時間<br />也順利完成interview<br />大約一週後<br />N老師決定要收我<br />時間大約是在5月左右<br />沒想到<br />就在我全力準備畢業的7月中<br />N老師寫信來告知<br />他臨時接到新的職位<br />因此不能當我的老闆<br />他把我暫時托給L老師<br /><br />我到了系上之後<br />L老師是我暫時的advisor<br />他幫我處理一些系上事務<br />也協助我選課<br />不過<br />我必須要跟不同老師洽談<br />尋找新的老闆<br /><br />L老師其實也是很好的人選<br />但是他說他的學生太多<br />他希望可以給每個學生都有完善的照顧<br />太多學生他覺得並不理想<br />根據我的興趣<br />系主任建議我找I老師跟原本我想找的H老師<br /><br />H老師<br />如同之前說的<br />他表示沒有經費可以資助我<br />於是我轉向I老師<br />I老師是位非常著名的老師<br />他向我介紹他的program<br />告訴我如果有興趣可以在跟他談<br />他也建議我去跟另一位PM老師談<br /><br />PM老師表示<br />他有經費~~但是沒有我想做的題目<br />(題目對博士學生是很重要的!)<br />所以他建議我去跟JB老師以及另一位B老師談<br /><br />JB老師說他再過一兩年想退休<br />不想再收博士班學生<br />要我跟C老師談<br />C老師說他沒有經費<br /><br />此時<br />奇異的事情發生<br />我在跟上述這些老師洽談時<br />他們都會跟我介紹他們的program以及我可以做的東西<br />接下來我去拜訪B老師時<br />她居然二話不說說要收我<br />這讓我十足吃了一驚<br />卻又不好意思拒絕<br />連續幾天<br />我都跑到B老師實驗室<br />老師交代我一些事<br />但是都沒有提及我的題目<br />所以我決定要去問清楚<br /><br />一番討論下來<br />其實並沒有適合我的題目<br />這確實讓我很多天都睡不好<br />我希望可以在未來幾年學得更多<br />而不是做一些重複的事<br /><br />有一天<br />一位在B老師實驗室的學長跟我聊天<br />他問我<br />你為什麼要選B老師<br />我告訴他我的故事<br />他對我說<br />要讓他再做一次選擇<br />他不會選擇跟B老師<br />因為他覺得學得有限<br />他要我在跟別的老師談<br />也要我明白跟B老師說<br />他告訴我<br />美國人喜歡直來直往<br />我想什麼就說出來<br />他說了一句讓我下定決心的話<br /><br />"B老師想再收學生一定收得到"<br />"但是你的前途是你自己的"<br /><br />我去跟B老師坦承<br />其實當時他並沒有給我機會拒絕他<br />我也向他講清楚這些誤會<br />他說他可以理解<br />讓我鬆了一口氣<br /><br />接下來<br />我很認真地想了想<br />我最想跟的還是H老師<br />我向系主任報告<br />系主任允諾<br />H老師願意收我的話<br />系上可以資助我<br /><br />我向H老師說明<br />終於<br />H老師決定收我<br /><br />最近<br />我開始了一些projects<br />真的非常有趣<br />我很慶幸我跟那位學長聊了天<br /><br />這個故事真的告訴我們<br />追尋你自己的前途<br />不要放棄<br />要就大聲說出來<br />跟各位朋友們共勉之~~~</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

weekend耶~有計畫嗎"<br /><br />"沒耶~整理房間吧"<br /><br />"走啦~去DC玩"<br /><br />"唔~~這麼臨時喔~我想一下~~~"<br /><br />1秒<br />2秒<br />..<br />..<br />5秒<br /><br />"好阿~誰怕誰~走"<br /><br />我馬上上網訂了房間+查好地圖<br />隔天一早就上路前往DC<br /><br />米國首府華盛頓DC<br />是米國各重要政府機關所在地<br />同時也是一個觀光聖地<br />距離我所在的北卡Raleigh以及Penn State所在的State College都是大約四到五小時車程<br />的確是'觀光旅遊~見面會友'的最佳去處<br /><br />這次是我第二次到DC<br />但是我一樣興致高昂<br />畢竟前一次去有太多地方沒有看到<br /><br />比起前一次<br />我多看了猶太人被屠殺的紀念館,越戰韓戰紀念碑<br />National cathedral,喬治城,水門大廈以及華盛頓動物園<br />而重遊的白宮一樣是不對外開放<br />華盛頓紀念碑還是一樣排不到票上去<br /><br />那麼<br />就更仔細觀察路上有的一切吧<br />小朋友們一樣開心地玩耍<br />觀光客一樣專心地研究地圖<br />我也樂得將這些都用相機記錄下來<br /><br />不嫌棄的話<br />看看我的相簿吧<br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/assiduoushy/070901DC">風景</a>&<a

miles後出了Texas<br />進入Oklahoma卻下起了滂沱大雨<br />最扯的是我深埋在雲深不之處的鬧鐘居然響了起來<br />一整個囧～～<br />我只好停車把他挖出來按掉～～～<br /><br />在越過大約330 miles寬的Oklahoma之後<br />我接著進入Arkansas<br />不過這時已經天黑<br />阿肯色的風光我是一點都沒看到～～XD<br /><br />到達Arkansas的capital-- Little Rock時已經是深夜十二點<br />但是因為已經把飯店定在Memphis<br />只好拖著疲憊的身軀繼續趕路～～誰叫自己要延後出發呢<br /><br />在大約兩點半左右<br />我終於抵達Arkansas以及Tennessee邊界大城-- Memphis<br />也就是我今晚的落腳處<br />不過I-40越過AR/TN交界河流的大橋在燈光裝飾下的夜景卻讓我暫時忘記疲倦<br />因為開車不能照相<br />就用網路照片當真相吧<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

/><span style="font-family: arial;">簡單的寒暄之後</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">我就開始了我的presentation</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">雖然四月中之前已經回系上報告過一次一樣的東西</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">但是在專家面前</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">卻比當時面對五六十人更加緊張～～</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">戰戰兢兢的報告完之後</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">接下來就是老師們的發問</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">現場的三位男士當然都很紳士的將優先權交給遠在法國的Dr. Menz</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">這下好了</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">用擴音器揚聲出來的話真的聽不是很清楚</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">只好很多問題都請老師多說幾次</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">坐在我對面的Dr. Rudd也一副替我緊張的樣子</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">還好雖然很抖</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">但也是把老師的問題都順利回答完</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">這時看到Dr. Rudd在對面對我微笑點頭</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">我心中一塊大時瞬間少了一半 :)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">接下來現場老師的發問就比較沒有障礙</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">加上許多問題也都是之前有跟老師討論過的</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">所以都可以比較從容地回答了</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">經過兩輪的發問</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">我的chair, Dr. Morgan也照例先把我請出教室</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">然後展開他們的討論～～</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">約莫十分鐘緊張的等待後</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Dr. Morgan打開教室的門</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">微笑地對我說</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">"Congratulations!"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">當時心中的喜悅真是筆墨難以形容</span><br /><span style="font-family:

style="font-family:arial;">一年一度的7月4日</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">就是全美舉國上下一起燒錢的日子</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">在各個大城小鎮都會有盛大的煙火展演</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">今年當然也不例外</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">這一天同時也是家人朋友們一起同樂的日子<br />美國人總是帶著旅行椅或是在公園打地舖野餐<br />節慶的味道相當濃厚<br /><br />去年的這天跟著大家一起到學校的George Bush Library去看煙火</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">但是施放的煙火並不令人驚艷</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">今年一個人隻身在Amarillo</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">雖然早早就看到報紙上的廣告說會放煙火</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">但是一方面沒有一群好友一起同樂</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">加上最近壓力也大</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">本來就想說乾脆在家裡睡覺就好</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">但是後來想想</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">也快離開這個城市</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">還是去看一下好了</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">煙火預定在晚上九點半施放</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">從下午四點開始就有大小活動</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">不過我對其他的東西興趣缺缺</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">因此一直到九點出頭才出門</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">到了施放煙火的公園附近</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">果然跟我想像的一樣人山人海＋車山車海</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">在找不到車位的現實下</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">只好到附近的一間學校的停車場</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">這邊也聚集了一些人</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">當然</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">視線就差了些</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">附近有一些樹跟房子</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">加上閃耀的路燈</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">這些對於只有眼睛看得人當然不構成影響</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">但是卻讓一心想拍照的我吃了不少苦頭</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">路燈的光怎麼都躲不掉</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">就只好東切西閃</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">也損失了不少畫面</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">不過也還是硬拍了一些啦(</span><a style="font-family: arial;"

style="font-family:arial;">煙火真正開始大約是9:45</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">持續了大約30分鐘</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">在小朋友們的驚呼聲及相機快門聲下劃下句點<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">其實蠻慶幸自己改變心意跑來看</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">今年真是比去年在卡城看精彩多了</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">不過聽說在Houston的煙火更是壯觀</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">但是對於位在距離休士頓610 miles以外的Amarillo的我</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">看到這些已經心滿意足啦！！</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">更怪的是</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">原本觀賞煙火時晴朗又滿天星斗的夜空</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">卻在我回家之後不久下起滂沱的雷陣雨</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">難道是老天慶祝完國慶留下感動的淚嗎～～</span><br /><br /><br

style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">第二天的行程是繞US34從公園的東北邊進入</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">從西南方出園<br /><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://shop.areatravelpackets.com/maps/d_rocky-mountain-national-park-map.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block;

style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">這條公園內的US34叫做Trail Ridge Road</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">都是平坦的柏油路</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">從東北到西北邊地是不斷爬升到海拔接近13000呎(大約3960公尺)的Alpine Visitor Center</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">之後一路下降</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">在冬天這段路是關閉的</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">即便是炎夏</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">高山上一樣有厚重的積雪</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">更遑論冬季</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

style="font-family:arial;">我們在山上的這天雖然豔陽高照</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">但是大約都只有華氏45度左右(攝氏7度)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">中間的行程大多是開到停車點下車照相</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">另外就是網路上的最高指導原則--看到大家都停車就跟著停</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">因為一定有好看的</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">沿途的</span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://picasaweb.google.com/assiduoushy/070621RockyMtNPTrailRidgeRoadEast">高山與峽谷風光</a><span style="font-family:arial;">不斷</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">令人心曠神怡</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">途中A博士頻頻要求老師停車照相</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">不過令人想不透的是</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">A博士只帶了一張32MB的記憶卡</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">真的是......一下就滿了</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">後段旅程幾乎他都是要我用我的相機幫他照~~囧</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">幸好因為我沒有用RAW檔照相～～記憶卡還算是有足夠的空間</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">洛磯山國家公園有一項著名的景觀就是凍原</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">在高山針葉林生長停止線以上所生長的一些小型草本植物都是</span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://picasaweb.google.com/assiduoushy/070621RockyMtNPTrailRidgeRoadWestTundra">凍原植物</a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">這些植物在冬天都冰封在雪裡</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">夏天就會開花</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">雖然都是迷你的大小</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">但是一整片的各色小花也是相當迷人呢</span><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align:

style="font-family:arial;">另外值得一提的就是公園內的野生動物</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">根據先前所說得指導原則</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">讓我們看到不少的鹿</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">這幾隻鹿甚至就在身邊也不怕生</span><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a style="font-family: arial;"

style="font-family:arial;">雖然很多人都說他是Elk</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">但是我並不確定</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">總之</span><br /><span

style="font-family:arial;">另外的一些我叫不出來的野生動物都在</span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://picasaweb.google.com/assiduoushy/070621RockyMtNPWildLife">這裡</a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">不過有一些小小的像松鼠的</span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.nps.gov/romo/naturescience/images/least_chipmunk.jpg">Chipmunk</a><span style="font-family:arial;">雖然常見</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">但是因為跑得太快～～一隻都沒照到>< <br />另外可惜的是沒有看到一些有名的比方說</span><a style="font-family: arial;"

style="font-family:arial;">這樣的湖泊實在吸引不了我們太多目光</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">只瀏覽了一下我們就離開了</span><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a

style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >在Fort Collins的Field day結束之後<br />我們一行人就驅車前往Rocky Mt.<br />從Fort Collins向西不久就接上了US34<br />光是上山的路上<br />就已經是美景不斷<br />河流切割的山谷<br />加上陡峭的山壁<br />相當壯觀<br />不過因為老師在開車<br />就沒有要求老師停車照相了<br />中間下來休息時只拍了小水壩<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><a

/></a></span><br /></div><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><br />到了Estes Park--洛磯山腳下的小鎮<br />才一到鎮上<br />人潮就嚇得我目瞪口呆<br />畢竟洛磯山可是世界知名的景點<br />加上一年之中只有夏季開放<br />聽說公園中的小木屋都要一年前就先定好<br />不然根本住不到>< <br />在Estes Park的旅館Check in之後<br />才下午六點(太陽大約都是九點下山)<br />我們決定先進公園走一走 <br /><br />首先<br />就是容易到達不用走太多路的<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/assiduoushy/070620RockyMtNPBearLake">熊湖(Bear Lake)</a>(點連結觀賞相簿)<br />據說上面要走比較久的幾個湖都更漂亮<br />不過因為時間限制<br />我們就只看了熊湖<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><a

/></a></span><br /></div><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><br />不愧是海拔相當高的高山湖<br />熊湖旁的步道甚至都還有積雪<br /><br />即便是別人說普通的熊湖<br />我們也是讚嘆不已<br />一步一駐足<br />老師就說"一直走走停停,美景好像永無止盡"<br />這句話真的非常貼切<br /><br />公園的公車班次密集<br />雖然我們沒有搭<br />但看起來是相當方便<br />駕駛也不用一邊開車還要分心看景<br />真是貼心的措施阿<br /><br />下山途中<br />我們走了另外一個長一些trial-- Alberta Falls<br />大約是兩miles左右<br />老師與另外兩位研究人員就一路向前<br />(PS. 我們一行四個人,老師,印度博士後研究員[A博士],尼泊爾助理研究員[D博士]還有我)<br />我因為看到路邊小花小草一石一木都很想照<br />所以一直在後追趕<br />拍了幾張就要跑步追上<br />氣喘吁吁的繼續照<br />因為已經傍晚光線不是很足加上心跳快<br />還真的很難手持穩定阿 Orz<br /><br />終於<br />走到了目的地瀑布區<br />當然這不是一個斷面很大的瀑布<br />但也算得上是氣勢磅礡<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><a

style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">這趟Field Trip出發不久</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">我們經過德州北邊一個小鎮叫做Cactus</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">這個小鎮在數月前曾經遭龍捲風席捲</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">因此造成一些災情</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">現在還看得到一些狂風肆虐的痕跡</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:

style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">這次Field Trip見識到兩種螞蟻</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">一種是有名的火蟻(Fire ants)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">源自於巴西</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">經由農作物的進出口侵入美國</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">在我們到Lulin的Nursery時第一次看到</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">而我們主要工作的Castroville更是多見</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">火蟻不會在小麥的根系附近築巢</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">多在plot與plot之間的路徑上</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">當然</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">那也是我們常走的路</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">老師說</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">如果你只是一腳踩上或踢到走過去都還好</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">有時候你不注意就站在上面寫筆記或觀察小麥</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">牠們就會爬得你全身</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">而且火蟻的侵略性及攻擊性都很強</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">會一直咬你</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">雖不致死~~但也足夠讓妳痛得跳腳</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">這次我只有被零星的一隻咬到</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">就覺得有點痛了</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">老師他們說之前有人被爬得滿身</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">也只能把褲子脫掉然後把火蟻甩掉</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">所以我們走路都特別小心</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">不要踩到蟻丘</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">老師也說</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">一但你踢到蟻丘</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">即便牠們沒有爬到你身上</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">你還是會心理作用一直覺得癢</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">真是有理~~~(苦笑)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">這是蟻丘的模樣</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">基本上會比較細緻</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">因為是火蟻們一點一點堆起來的</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();}

style="font-family:arial;">另外一種叫做收穫者(Harvester) </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">這種螞蟻我們只有在Uvalde Center的田區有看到 </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">同行的Jason說 </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">其實他本來應該是益蟲 </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">因為牠們會把植物帶到土裡 </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">增加土壤肥力 </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">但是在我們的田裡牠可就變成破壞者 </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">把小麥從根部到頂端全部帶走 </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">田裡就會形成這樣的景象(缺一塊)<br /><br /></span><span

style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >這是我的研究主題<br />而我主要focus的<br />是小麥葉銹病(Wheat Leaf Rust Disease)<br />主要是希望利用分子技術的方法<br />幫助傳統選種<br />進而培育出更好更抗病的小麥品種<br />我在實驗室時<br />這些東西對我來說大多是理論<br />這次的field trip讓我真正學習到如何在田間操作作物族群<br /><br />當然<br />在此我就不說太多理論了<br />我想提的是我學習的心得吧<br /><br />出發的第一天第一個Nursery<br />老師也只是很簡略的跟我介紹田間的狀況<br />讓我有個基本的了解<br />第二個點<br />在A&M的Vernon Center<br />老師便跟我介紹如何規劃與設計田間試驗<br />以及目前田區配置的情形<br />畢竟在北邊的德州<br />銹病並不若南邊常見<br />反而是白粉病較為常見<br /><br />隔天一早到了A&M Prosper Station<br />果然也是白粉病較為嚴重<br />所以我們就記錄的白粉病的狀況<br /><br />下午到了Ennis Nursery<br />葉銹病就開始比較嚴重<br />所以就由老師喊出銹病的程度<br />我一邊觀察一邊記錄<br />McGregor Station也是一樣的情況<br /><br />離開卡城前<br />我們到卡城的Station<br />老師就要我以我所觀察的病狀說給他聽(有點像考試)<br />他再加以指正<br /><br />到了Lulin之後<br />老師就要我跟他"討論"病狀的程度<br /><br />等到了Catroville<br />牠就說他不看了<br />要我唸給他紀錄<br />讓我心裡覺得老師是不是都安排好的阿<br />讓我慢慢的學習~~真是了不起<br /><br />之後幾天在Castroville的工作<br />就是選拔優良的植株<br />選拔不僅是要抗病<br />還要具備良好的農藝特性<br /><br />套一句以前大學老師說的話<br />就算你有很抗病抗蟲的品種~~病蟲都不吃他<br />但人也不吃他~~就沒意義了<br /><br />我很感動的是<br />老師對學生的教學熱誠<br />循序漸進讓我知道該怎麼做<br />更重要的是他也知道我八月畢業就會離開<br />他還願意耐心敎我<br /><br />我向老師表達了我的謝意<br />老師說<br />"這些事情總有人要做,更何況我喜歡教學生"<br /><br />很令人感動吧<br />希望我將來也能像老師一樣<br />把所學的傳承下去!!<br /><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">補充說明一下我在地圖上的標示</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">如Amarillo/Vernon/Uvalde Center</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">都是A&M的研究以及推廣中心</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">是比較大的工作站,也是區域性的據點</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">有許多研究人員以及辦公室</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">德州共有13個</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">分別是</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Amarillo, Vernon, Lubbock, Dallas, Stephenville, </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Overton, El Paso, San Angelo, Temple, Beaumont</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Uvalde, Corpus Christi and Weslaco</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">根據當地的氣候以及所適合種植的作物做研究</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">而我所標示的"station"</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">是屬於以上Center所管理的試驗田區</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">比方說Chillicothe是屬於Vernon center的田區</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">我標示的"Nursery"</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">大多是私人的農地</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">我們跟農民洽談</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">在他們的田區做試驗</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">由他們替我們照顧</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">農民沒有收錢</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">但收穫歸他們所有</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">老師說</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">農民也很樂意成為大學的一份子^^<br />至於Castroville的Nursery因為用途特殊<br />是少數有付錢給農民的Nursery<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">另外一個必較特別的</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">就是Lulin Nursery</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">他們是私人的研究單位</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">只是跟A&M合作</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">值得一提的是Propser Station</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">它是屬於Dallas Center</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">因為Dallas都會區的迅速擴展</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Prosper地區也已經快變成都市的腹地</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">老師說</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Dallas Center有在研議要把Prosper Station的土地賣掉</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">去別的地方買田</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">因為</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Prosper靠近Dallas</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">目前可是寸土寸金</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">要真的賣掉</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">價錢可不得了</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">不過現在只是在談</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">確切如何</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">可能得等一段時間啦~~~~~</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img

to Amarillo<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">結束了長達兩週,大約2200miles的Field Trip</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">終於又回家了</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">不過回到Amarillo的感覺卻不如回卡城時</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">那樣來得有家的感覺~>"<~</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">在卡城待了兩天</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">見了一些朋友</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">謝謝大家</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">讓我覺得真的很溫暖^^</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">不過</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">除了兩天卡城的安逸日子</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">其他時間都是在田裡努力工作</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">工作內容有空會再詳述</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">這樣的生活雖然累</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">卻讓我學了很多</span><br /><span

真是既期待又怕受傷害<br />雖然我知道要看到雪會真的很冷<br />但畢竟還是想看看下雪到底是個什麼樣(在北邊求學的同學朋友們別打我阿)<br /><br />一早從睡夢中驚醒<br />第一個動作就是拉開百葉窗窺視屋外<br />白..白..白白的<br />真的下雪了~~~~<br />雖然很冷<br />我還是外套披著就衝出去照相了<br />(更多相片在"My Life

National Recreation Area</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">坐而言不如起而行相機背著馬上就衝了</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">其實這兩個景點是連在一起的</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">當時想說一次可以玩兩個有賺到的感覺</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">開了約40-50分鐘的車</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">首先 Alibates Flint Quarries的招牌就映入眼簾</span><br /><br /><a

春假趴趴走遊記之五<span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >離開Santa Fe已經下午四點多了<br />驅車前往位於新墨西哥第一大城Albuquerque的一個國家保護區<br />車程大約是一小時<br />不過NPS的遊客中心都是五點關門<br />所以我想時間應該會很緊吧<br /><br />一路衝到Albuquerque<br />已經五點過幾分<br />還是硬著頭皮跑去<br />運氣也不算太差<br />剛好遇到Park Ranger在關門<br />就問了他公園大概的路線並要了一張地圖<br />在入口處照相留念後<br />就打算去走走Trail囉<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GcrLPVWScw0/RjjxWsQZKHI/AAAAAAAAAds/aAwdwz46svQ/s1600-h/b25.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;"

/>主要也是古印第安人的遺址<br />公園主體是由峽谷以及小的火山所構成<br />不過他的賣點是公園內的火成岩上很多都被印第安人留下了象形文字及一些符號<br />我大概只走了Trail的一點點吧<br />因為已經快要天黑<br />恐怕耽誤到接下來的路程<br />因此照了幾張相就折返了<br /><br />此行的最後一個行程<br />是也位在Albuquerque的一個私人經營的公園<br />叫做Sandia Peak<br />這個公園在冬天時也是一個滑雪的Resort<br />不過我到的時候滑雪場已經關閉<br />他的最大特色就是號稱全世界最長的纜車<br />從山下坐到山頂大約需要15-20分鐘吧<br /><br /><a onblur="try

/>可惜最後彈盡援絕<br />數位相機早已沒電<br />底片也全數耗盡<br />因此<br />將最後八張底片拍完後<br />就準備下山啦<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

/>帶著腳架跟DSLR上山拍照<br />我在山上拍的都是用底片<br />深怕不成功<br />因為我就厚臉皮的跑去問說可不可以請他寄給我<br />他也一口答應<br />不過一直到現在經過一個多月<br />還沒有收到任何消息<br />我想<br />應該是忘了吧>< <br /><br />因為是週末假日<br />上山的人非常多<br />下山的纜車也是20分鐘一班<br />我乖乖的排隊<br />沒想到外國人有些也是很沒秩序的<br />最後在山上等了三班～～就是大約一小時<br />我才下得了山～～<br />大家也看到山上還有雪<br />可是很冷的說>< <br /><br />下山時已經是Mt. time九點多<br />回到Amarillo大約需要四小時車程<br />就馬不停蹄的上路了<br />回到家加上時差<br />已經是兩點多<br />當然是二話不說倒頭就睡啦！！<br /><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

春假趴趴走遊記之四<span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;">從Bandelier到新墨西哥首府Santa Fe只有約一小時車程<br />而Santa Fe也是新墨西哥有名的歷史大城<br />又在我規劃的路程上<br />因此原先的計畫就是開車經過瀏覽一番囉<br />Santa Fe的建築都是仿印第安人式的泥磚建築<br />連加油站.飯店.銀行等也都蓋成那樣<br />無奈數位相機沒電<br />又要省底片拍下一個景點<br />所以沒辦法給各位看倌真相啦><<br /><br />本來其實只是想在路上找間速食店Drive thru一下填肚子就好<br />沒想到卻不經意讓我看到我夢想已久的31冰淇淋站在路邊<br /><br />不知道多少人知道31冰淇淋<br />全名是Baskin-Robbins Ice cream<br />網址 http://www.baskinrobbins.com/<br />記得我小學二三年級時<br />我爸爸都會待我去吃當時在台灣非常高級的31冰淇淋<br />當時每個月31號會有特價一球50元<br />我還記得我當時吃了一球我最愛的香草冰淇淋<br />讓我真的回味無窮<br />不久後 31冰淇淋退出台灣市場<br />就再也吃不到了<br />即便後來的</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;">Häagen-Dazs出現<br />我總都還是覺得31是我的最愛<br /><br />因為我當年一直以為31冰淇淋是日本來的<br />所以就算</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;"><span style="">到了美國之後<br />也沒注意去找<br />等我發現時<br />我人已經在Amarillo了<br />Houston有很多分店<br />真是後悔當初離Houston這麼近的時候沒去多吃幾次>.<<br /><br />回到正題<br />我一看到路邊的31 就來個急轉彎～希望後面的車子沒被我嚇到 =.=|||<br />無論如何也擋不了我吃31的決心啦～～～喝！！！！！<br />彎進店旁的停車場<br />雖然很想馬上衝進去買冰啦<br />但是饑腸轆轆吃冰好像不太好<br />想說還時先填個肚子好了<br />恰巧旁邊有一家墨西哥小店<br />看到他的招牌寫說是什麼05年票選最好吃之類<br />我就進去了<br />店員推薦我一個Beef Burrito<br />我就點了<br />沒想到隨便點點～～也好吃的跟什麼一樣<br />也可能因為我很餓吧 囧rz<br /><br />總之<br />狼吞虎嚥吃完之後<br />就趕快衝進去買冰啦<br />31冰淇淋有名的就是多種口味<br />不過我對那些fancy的口味沒太多興趣<br />還是鍾情我的最愛-- 香草<br />另外我還多點了一球巧克力<br />在沿路趕路的辛苦中吃到最心愛的冰真是太黯然～太銷魂了～～～(飄)<br /><br />看到店裡很多爸媽帶小朋友來吃冰<br />希望他們也都記得31的好滋味^^<br /><br />Anyway,心滿意足了<br />該繼續上路去囉</span></span></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><span

春假趴趴走遊記之三<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">在科州Alamosa渡過一夜之後</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">隔天一大早起來就又衝去大沙丘想拍日出</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">結果因為賴了點床</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">到那邊時太陽已經差不多出來了</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">不過還是照了幾張</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">比較滿意的一張也已經放在相簿囉^^</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">接下來</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">就繼續往下一個目的地邁進</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">從科州再次開回新墨西哥</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">沿途風光依舊美麗</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">我還因為顧著欣賞美麗風光</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">差點在公路上撞到一隻奔馳的小鹿</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">嚇得我一身冷汗^^|||</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">歷經約三小時的公路風光之行後</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">終於</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">到了位於新墨西哥州的Bandelier 國家保護區</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">這是一個以古印第安人遺址為主的保護區</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">座落在高山上的峽谷中</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">非常壯觀</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">讚嘆之餘</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">也心生疑問</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">古印第安人一定要生活在這麼不容易到的地方嗎 XD</span><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

style="font-family: arial;">是差了一點啦</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">不過有趣的是</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">停車場裡的車大多來自不同州</span><br /><span style="font-family:

春假趴趴走遊記之一<span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >第一天的行程是Capulin volcano<br />根據旅人行腳(http://tw.traveleredge.com/)的敘述<br />它只因為是一個構造相當完整的火山地形因此被列為國家保護區<br />並沒有多大特色<br />但是對我來說<br />車程並不遠<br />畢竟是國家級<br />因此我就把它規劃在路線中囉<br /><br />預計在早上八點多就到達Capulin<br />而從Amarillo到Capulin需要約兩個半小時車程<br />本來打算五點半就出發<br />但是～～賴床了><<br />弄到六點出頭才離開家～～趕路吧 <br /><br />根據人類好朋友估狗的帶領下<br />我踏上了旅途<br />天還沒亮我就馳逞在德州的公路上 <br />一路上～～天漸漸開始微亮<br />果然早晨是令人感覺清新的時刻阿！！<br />太陽出來之後不久～我剛好越過德州與新墨西哥的交界<br />這是我第一次自己開車離開德州～～真是感動(因為德州實在太大啦)<br />看到州界牌跟遠方的山真是超興奮<br />有圖有真相 <a onblur="try

春假趴趴走遊記之序<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">打鐵趁熱～～遲了應該就寫不出來了吧</span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />話說這次春假其實是撿到的</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">在我知道我要到Amarillo Center之後我就覺得我應該不會有春假了<br />因為這邊不是學校<br /><br />沒想到一直到前一週的週五(3/9)<br />師母才跟我說大家下星期四五(3/15,16)這邊也會放春假<br />(我想～～可能是因為這種事大家在一年的剛開始就已經知道了～所以才不會特別說吧)<br /><br />也因此<br />才開始決定要規劃一下出遊的計畫<br />雖然一開始想說乾脆在家睡四天<br />不過後來覺得現在身處Amarillo實在是個旅遊的中樞之地<br />將來離開這邊之後<br />也許很難再回來<br />想一想<br />還是勤勞點吧<br /><br />進入規劃行程的正題<br />本來呢<br />想要往北一路往Colorado到Colorado Springs看Pike peak and Garden of Gods<br />然後跟到科州滑雪的A,B,C三人見個面<br />然後再往Rocky Mt.玩耍去<br />畢竟Rocky是我心中非常嚮往的一個NP<br /><br />結果呢<br />跟Pike peak的小火車訂票--> 賣光了<br />跟Rocky Mt.的Ranger詢問細節--> Rocky在五月之前都還是冬季,西邊大半部不會開放<br />ㄟ～～這樣好像失去跑這麼遠的意義了說<br /><br />此外～～要在周日(3/11)前來的卡城補給團一行六人在我放假時已經到了新墨西哥南邊<br />也很難配合上<br /><br />不如<br />還是自己玩吧<br />以下就是我最後定案的行程<br />至於細節如何呢<br

A&M University<span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >來簡單介紹一下我的學校好了<br /><br />我的學校Texas A&M University (TAMU)<br />TAMU是德州的land-grant university<br />學校很大<br />黑人不多(據說這間學校一開始是不收黑人的)<br />軍人很多(學校有軍校)<br />大學部在US News的排名大約是60左右<br />建校於1876<br />校區被貨運鐵路分成東西兩邊<br />要轉換校區上課常常要等火車通過<br />常常一等就是十幾分鐘<br />大家打招呼喜歡說"Howdy" (How do you do變化過來的)<br />學校有許多非常有趣的傳統<br />如果有機會再來介紹吧<br /><br />TAMU位在德州東南方一個叫做College Station的城市<br />College Station (卡城)是因為學校發展而成的城市<br />距離德州四大城都不算遠<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><br />生活機能佳..該有的都有<br />(雖然還是很多東西沒有啦)<br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >比方說這附近沒有大城市那麼多的娛樂場所<br />不過對於想要好好唸書的同學來說<br />應該是不錯吧<br />(這句話應該是寫給家長們看的XD)<br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >TAMU的台灣同學會組織健全<br />台灣同學根據我的不負責任估計<br />大約有200人左右</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">因此大家基本上都互相認識<br />在這邊<br />我也交了不少台灣朋友<br />(美國朋友真的不容易交阿)<br /><br />這邊的人熱衷於運動<br />學校有一個超級完善的體育中心<br />每天都擠滿了人<br />從早上六點開到晚上十二點<br />很酷吧<br /><br />所以就算城內沒什麼娛樂<br />對於我這個愛打排球的小孩<br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">基本上都不會無聊啦</span><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></span><div
