Lab Administrator


Yeah, I come back to work in the language lab. Now I am in charge of this technology classroom. Well, what’s the title…?! Oh, they call me Lab Administrator (quoted from http://www1.indstate.edu/lll/faculty_staff.html).
Sounds cool, doesn’t it? But basically, I sit there and do my homework all the time. There is not much stuff to be taken care of in this lab.
The hardware and software of the computers in the lab have been updated this semester. Finally, we have Office 2007 version installed in the computers…
God bless us!
Somehow I still feel a little bit lonely here. Two years ago, when Tama, Sherry, Sean, and Yoshiki were all employees here, we had a nice time working together. I missed the time we went to the German Beer festival at the end of the semester. It was the “friendship” that made me active and energetic.

Monroe Lake 釣遊

任性自在的人生親愛なる君へ :

好像又回到小時候去大舅的魚塭玩,坐在竹筏上釣魚的感覺!不同的是,這次是在美國(印第安那最大的湖),而且是自己開船!剛開始還覺得有點怕怕的,要是翻船掉到水裡,我自己到還會游泳,由樹可能就難說了!!!......(笑)

那天水色還算清澈,就是風有點大,天氣陰陰的,但不像會下雨的樣子!本想著到這麼大的水庫釣魚,怎麼著都得中一隻大尾的吧!沒想到四個小時下來,由樹掛零,我釣到一條小不拉嘰的條紋鱸魚(striped bass)!

風景雖不錯,但釣不到魚的心情,卻總是興奮不起來!不知道日後回台灣有沒有這種地方釣魚!?要是真有錢,我還真想買一條船,每個禮拜都去釣魚!
這裡租一艘釣魚船算是不貴的:四小時加油錢和稅金一共是80元美金!

這隻小不點不小心咬到我的餌!唉!放你一命吧,小心一點吧,別被其他大魚吃掉,也別再咬錯餌啦!......(爽)
