San Jose & 淡水

你夢想過寫一本書嗎？你覺得人生的意義何在呢?你知道你自己的一生就是一個豐富感人的故事嗎？誰比你更知道你的故事呢？跟著我一起來，我會帶著你一步一步來完成你的回憶錄，不要害怕寫不好，只怕你從未嘗試，回顧一生將是你此生所做最有意義的事，我們才不會白來這個世界走一遭，不是嗎？

Today is my daughter's first day of school. We were all a bit nervous. We left home before 8 am. It was easy to enroll. John later went to work and I headed home. I still have a long day for myself. I started to search for job boards in the US. Funny that I had never used it before. The first one I used is beyond.com.

I listed my experiences and skills and I hope it will lead me to some jobs.

今年與四位大學同學見了一次面 也不知為什麼 大家今年不太起勁 我當然很失望 因為我好不容易回來了

今天再請黃同學幫忙聯絡 我也發出一封信 如果不行 那就算了 以後再看看有誰熱心一點 也許今年大家比較有事情 我每年都會見見同學 不見就很奇怪的感覺 別人卻沒有相同的感覺 這是為什麼呢

9/19 認識學生和環境

9/26 設計歌詞本 念書

我昨天email寄出我的書給幾家出版社，雖然馬上只有兩家禮貌回應，已經收到了，我的心情就相當好，就有一些希望，我也繼續在思考，還能如何讓我的書更深入， 一開始是設定給小朋友，所以對於政治宗教很少提到，我自己對這方面也不太了解，就想還是要再多讀一些資料，

昨晚看到 "Jane Austen: a companion" by Josephine Ross, and "Courage and craft" by Barabra Abercrombie. I ownened these two books for a while but it just came to me that I could use their ideas in my own book.

Monday:

I started my first teaching job on Monday. I taught English songs at Laura's fifth grade class for 40 minutes. We only learned 3 lines for the song "I am a little teapot". It went ok and I am still learning to teach. I revised my lyrics and strategy and I invite my sister to go with me next week. She said Yes. I am grateful for her. She helps recruiting the book club members too.

When I saw this photo Laura took from the TV, I decided to post it at my blog. It seems to be a bridge for me to connect with these two cultures. This program seems very popular here.
