Isn’t Fall Beautiful in Taipei City?

開學的味道是什麼樣的呢?

首先,新生把學校週邊擠爆。

今年開始起,因為新大樓(幾近)落成,空間問題解決,學校美意將中午空出一堂不再排課,讓老師和同學用餐或休息。果然是用餐時間!中午一到,所有人突然全部湧出來,每一家飲食店都排長龍。開學的第二天,在路上聽到學生抱怨:「學校幹嘛把『她們』全部放出來呀!」唉!改變人的習慣果然要費點力!

再則,社團招生活動頻繁。

還有,有禮貌的「人」暫時變多。

甚至,到處都有家長走動。

令人不敢相信的是,學生早早坐定在位置上。

你可能很驚訝,很年輕的那個陌生人穿了西裝打了領帶提了公事包,上課鐘聲一響竟然直接走上講台。(台長會比較驚訝吧?十七年前她也是被校門警衛攔下來的Rookie呀!)

更誇張的是,明明前幾天才互道「暑假愉快」的那些人看到台長居然「唰」一下衝過來大喊「好久不見!」

不過,這些都是別人的開學味道,我來說說我自個兒的吧:

剛剛耳邊響起一段電影對白(LV 和 YV已經背到舌頭生繭的一段對話):

Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly-sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address….

於是,一向憑衝動做事的台長立刻付諸行動,拿出珍藏的鉛筆,想拍一張鉛筆花束讓會員們瞧一瞧。無奈,怎麼綁都綁不好!在挫折中,台長聞到了開學的味道……

My god! Actually that was my first thought after reading Host’s message. I really need a good pencil sharpener, but since we share one in my department, I figure I should just save myself a few bocks. After all, I am living in New York City.

LV needs a pencil sharpener first, a good one. An electrical one. I sometimes bring some pencils to a conference room and just sit there and sharpen all my pencils. Do I use them at all? Nuh, just for fun (and its free, since I am not paid enough, why not utilize more office supplies). perhaps they might come in handy oneday.

Wow, your pencils are really very sharp. Gotta go home and work on mine.

Host: did you check my message responding to your previous article?
