十八歲零一個月

在僅僅的一個月內, 悲喜交集的事情接二連三的發生:

1. 從紐約之旅回來---心曠神怡
2. 開學那天的大雪---歡天喜地
3. DECA Area Competition 獲獎, 進級State---意外收獲
4. 同日被別人偷了手袋---心痛至極
5. 六天後銀行對我的捐失作出保償---放下心頭大石
6. 替前男友高興---心如止水
7. 一個人在街上走的寂寞與恐懼感---不像以往的我
8. 今天的我又因偏頭痛在家中休息---不知所措

就在這個月中的一切, 使我情緒大起大跌, 不知所措, 也學會了些人生哲理. 非常感謝我的寄宿家庭和在Penn State的一班朋友支持... 與此同時, 在以下的這首無名詩中拿了靈感.

------------------------------------

SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?

Or listened to the rain

Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?

Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day

On the fly?

When you ask How are you?

Do you hear the reply?
When the day is Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores

Running through your head?

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.

The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?

And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time

To call and say,"hi"

You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere

You miss half the fun of getting there
When you worry and hurry through your day
It is like an unopened gift....

Thrown away.

Life is not a race.
Do take it slower

Hear the music
Before the song is over.
