從新年開始就開始逼着自己脫離撞牆的狀態,回到正常人的作息,回到已經拖沓已久的工作,同時間也繼續把未完成的這部小說給寫完。依照目前的進度,草稿應該會在過年之前全部寫完,檢視完結構沒問題後,就會一篇篇或小改或重寫在缺哏的時候丟出來吊大家胃口。不過這篇要說的,不是預告這部小說的內容,而是主要算是記下我是怎麼把這篇小說給寫出來的,從腦袋裡的概念是怎樣化為一片字海這樣。
原来我去年没有写中秋节的entry,今年就来做第一次咯。最近这两年的中秋节过的很有趣,有趣在于我们少买了饼家烘培的月饼,而多了更多homemade的月饼吃。当然,占最多数的就是母亲弄的上海月饼和冰皮的月饼,其次就是我阿姨弄的上海月饼(所以可以说今年吃到的90%都是上海月饼/冰皮月饼)。不过今年的月饼广告,不知道自己是不是少去留意,还是什么原因,还不如往年来得热闹。往年差不多七月半中元节后就会开始催谷的月饼广告,到了今天为止,我还是觉得还没有达到很热闹的效果。还是我少看了电视的原因?
我重新捧起了那面镜子,凝望着它,看着里面的人的泪滴一滴滴地掉下来。我心疼得抚摸了一下冰冷的镜面,想要说句安慰的话,却不知道怎么样能够传达给另一面的他。不知道过了多久,等我恢复理智的时候,陡然想起我应该带我妈出去吃个饭当作接风。于是,我稍微整理一下自己的仪容,并把镜子和那封信件给妥当收好。才走出房门,就闻到整间屋子飘满饭菜香,再看看墙上的时钟,原来已经差不多要八点钟了。
很多年前讀過,三十歲應該是人生最燦爛的時刻。可是我的三十歲,過得很累很無聊很枯燥。工作上已經少了當初加入時的激情,生活少了尋求刺激的渴望,想看書想玩個電玩想看電影卻又覺得投入很傷身,甚至想睡覺也不知道腦袋就是無法關機。最嚴重的時候,我是需要看人家電腦遊戲極速破關的過程,才能入睡(或者我看來看去看不懂的教學影片)。好吧,後來想說應該是身體沒有確實感受勞累所以跑去上健身課,結果落得身體更累但還是睡不著的窘境。
Recently our English for Science unit’s lecturer posted an issue about e-learning at the college’s “e-learning” system (which is actually a blackBoard Learning System that is also used by many other colleges) and we are required to write a response to that issue. She also provided a link to a page that clearly explains about “e-learning”. Until now, I have really no idea on this issue since I am still reading that webpage while I am posting this.
If only looking at my college’s so called “e-learning” system, I really don’t like it much because it is not as useful as I expected. Blackboard Learning System is no doubt a good system handling “e-learning” things but it is not being well used at my college. I myself prefer looking for information at another websites rather than the e-learning system because there are almost nothing provided by our lecturer through the system except for some lecture notes / tutorial questions / assignment questions etc. I have a friend studying at another college and I heard from him that he can get a lot more things through their college BlackBoard System besides notes / assignments etc. And the participation of his lecturer is much better compared to my college. I found that sometimes it is very rare to see any lecturer to join in our discussion in the discussion board and probably this is why Blackboard System is not popular in my college.
But these are only some problems that only occur in my college, and this doesn’t mean that they will happen in other colleges as well. Therefore these cannot be the only points in my response to the issue, *sigh*. Now I would need to start thinking what to write and post them this Friday since I do not have much spare time because the units I took in this semester are quite tough (at least 4 credit hours) and I am definitely don’t wish the same thing happened as the “Introductory to Discrete Mathematics” unit last semester.
