/>要交这两项功课，就要先回想过去，可是怎么回忆过去感觉那么不堪……我比较属于遗忘过去的人，不爱想以前的事。<br /><br />那天和朋友聊起过去，聊到遇过的意外事件，我还蛮惊讶自己是比较幸运的，虽然有几次惊险的经验，但伤口都不需缝针。<br /><br />小时候游戏曾经撞破头，然后高中的时候飞来横祸被割草机的割刀击中。出来工作好几年后有一个晚上误踩破瓷砖，血染浴室，痛了一个月。<br /><br />小时候的痛我是不太记得了，割草机的事让我一直都很害怕接近任何割草机，即使知道是绝对安全的也不行！踩到破瓷砖，痛——但是不至于有什么阴影。<br /><br />其实我们一生中受过的伤又何止那些见血的外伤，内伤更是难以治疗，看不见便以为痊愈了，却原来还在。这就是为什么偶尔和朋友或心理医生聊心事的时候突然有痛哭的冲动，伤口停止淌血却仍无法结疤，轻轻一触，又血如泉涌。<br /><br />大概，喜欢回忆过去的人都是幸运的吧。<br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

/><br />除了写报告我们还要实地考察。前几个星期我就去了基督教堂，这个周末会连赶三场，星期五去回教堂，周六则是犹太教堂，然后周日会去佛教堂。<br /><br />导师是个女的，很年轻也很开通，所以大家上课时都聊得很起劲，问题源源不绝，有时候导师都快招架不住了。<br /><br />每个宗教都有自己的理论和约束，我觉得只要自己过得高兴，不觉得自己迷失在生活里就不一定要有信仰。<br

/>最近经济真的很差，股市一泻如注。起初我还不太在意，但是后来发现美国人都把自己的退休金投资在股票或债券市场里，结果现在几十年的退休金突然就剩一半了，大家都人心惶惶。几乎每天都会听到有人被开除的消息，还真的很可怕。<br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

Powershot G10自推出以来，回响并没有预期的大，网络上的讨论少得很，大概是因为大家觉得G10和G9都是用同一个1/1.7"的CCD，14.7MP是没有意义的。<br /><span class="fullpost"><br />我绝对可以理解这样的观点，要是我拥有G9，我也会质疑，有需要换G10吗？即使我买的是G10，我也会认为没有必要换。但是如果你好像我，本来就想要买G9，现在G10出来，同一个价钱，难道我不试试看新的？<br /><br />G10是有进步的，比如机型，手握处有改良，拍照的时候不会说握不好而失去平衡。而且我很喜欢G10的质感，那犹如石头表面的纹路真的很特别。<br /><br />我要强调G10不是给专业的摄影人用的，专业的还是用单眼或DSLR比较好。G10的定位本来就是高档的Point & Shoot，让那些已经爱上摄影的初学者一尝甜头，学用比较manual的操控。<br /><br />虽然说G10只是一架Point & Shoot相机，但是大家都知道本来G9功能就很强，所以大家才会忘了G10并没有被Canon归类为DSLR。先说我最爱的面部识别功能，听到有些人批评它不太强，但是以我自己的经验是还好，除非你脸的角度真的很刁钻，不然一般都会成功对焦。我之前比较旧的相机没有脸部识别功能，每次去旅行要朋友帮忙拍照时，我一定要站中央，不然风景拍得很美，我整个人是糊掉，回来看照片难免觉得遗憾！<br /><br />另外我也喜欢它的Stich Assist功能，让你很容易地拍Panorama照片，传进电脑后，它有软体可以把它们接得很美！然后还有好多的功能我都没有时间试完！如果你有兴趣可以参考这里的资料：<a href="http://www.dpreview.com/news/0809/08091702canon_g10.asp">Canon Powershot G10</a><br /><br />有一点要大家注意的是G10拍的RAW照片无法直接在Photoshop开启，要先用它的软体转为Tif才可以，不过我相信迟些的更新photoshop应该就会支援它的RAW。<br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

/>新机到手的感觉还蛮实在的，不会说太轻，不会有塑料，很儿戏的感觉。手握的感觉也不错，体型不至于小得可以放进口袋，但是对平时有带背包的我来说刚刚好。<br /><br />基本上G10没有太多令人惊喜的新功能，我赶快给它下来主要是因为之前就想要买G9，顺便也可以减压。如果你本来就有G9就没有必要再买一部了。如果我有时间再和大家分享我的使用心得咯！<br /><a

Religion的课（我这个星期怎么每天都要上课？！），然后今晚还有Critical Thinking and Research，还要交功课，班上二十多个人，希望不要出糗才好……<br /><span class="fullpost"><br />World Religion的课算是这学期最有趣的，也可能是因为我在马来西亚长大，对各个宗教都蛮熟悉的，导师问什么我都可以谈一些，不过我旁边的黑人女同学一直问我在佛教的教义里，人从何而来？是谁造人的？我实在不太答得出来，要去找找资料了，不然下一堂课她不知道又要问什么。<br /><br />上课时导师也问说大家觉得自己是从哪里来的，第一个就挑我回答，我怎么知道？要回答深奥的吗？我就说……是我妈妈！哈哈！害导师笑个不停。然后老师要列出大家对各宗教所抱持的Stereotype印象，回教的可是列得很长！轮到天主教的时候我就说牧师都是恋童吧……黑人女同学惊呼：你好敢！为什么不呢？反正说到回教的时候，也有人说恐怖分子等等等更难听的！不过我之后还是有小小害怕这样会不会被打？<br

/>我的天啊，这学期真是我的致命伤，最近都很少看书，而且我念英文书本来就比较慢，每个教授都让我们读个没完没了是怎样！我想我很快会变成书呆子了……<br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

/></a>终于开课咯！星期一就去上了第一堂课。Effective Writing，算是英文的基本课吧；因为接下来可能课业都要长篇大论，所以不修好英文应该会很难念下去。<br /><span class="fullpost"><br />第一堂课一上就三个小时，不紧张是假的，毕竟上一次上课已经是若干年前的事了，而且在美国这里，环境陌生，教学方式未知，也不知道会出什么状况，不知道自己的破英文是否应付得来。<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

/></a>以我的英文程度而言，听力算最好，毕竟身边都是说英文的朋友，听多了就习惯。书写能力第二，因为我可以思考，可以查字典，写出来都不会太差。最差的应该就是开口说英文吧！除非是熟朋友，不然我都好紧张，脑袋跟嘴巴仿佛都不连线，简直一团糟！一开始导师要我们和同学沟通几分钟然后互相介绍对方，我舌头就打结了，哩哩啦啦的，还好有同学搭救，才没那么尴尬……　<br /><br /><a

/></a>除了说的差，我阅读的速度也超慢，不像读中文书，几个小时我就可以看完一本厚厚的小说。那天导师要我们二十分钟内读完九页长的短篇故事，我就没有办法完成，非常尽力也只读了八页半，同学都已经在侃侃而谈地说着自己的意见了。<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

/></a>这个星期的课业是要我们读一段短篇故事，写五百字的缩写，那本书我之前漏了没买，隔天去买时已经剩下最后一本，真是幸运，要不然功课怎么交得出来啊！<br /><br />不知道接下来还会有什么状况发生，不过这里的每一堂课都是两个星期才上一堂三小时的课，如无意外该可以应付得来，只是心情还是有点小紧张。<br /></span><div

/>其实这一程的照片我大多用手机或数码相机拍的，我的Optical Camera是有带啦，但后来因为嫌麻烦就丢给朋友去拍。朋友算是摄影新手吧，可是我觉得他很有潜力，拍照角度都很用心，然后传统相机的素质真的远远抛离数码相机！跟大家分享几张朋友Erik拍的照片，有些明明是同样的角度，可是出来的照片……光线、颜色都优太多了！<br /><a onblur="try

/>昨晚和朋友去Austin 300打保龄球，里面每一条lane都有超级大电视，我还蛮担心自己一时失手把球抛出去会把电视机给砸了！里面灯光幽暗，四处都有走马灯，搞得好像很有气氛，可是我还是比较喜欢单纯一点的场，比较容易集中啊。<br /><span class="fullpost"><br />这家其实收费很贵，鞋子要$4，每一场游戏一个人$4.5，所以如果一场游戏有五个人在打，就要$22.50！通常打一场都是半个小时，租了鞋子最少也打两场啊，所以一个人最少要付$13！要是一班朋友一起去，费用真是很可观！<br /><br />昨晚手气不错，第一场打了136分，我已经好久都没超过一百分了……记得去年大家一起去的时候，我还拿过六十多分，真是尴尬死了！<br /><br />第二场的时候朋友建议我试试让球带转劲，成绩会更好……屁啦！结果我第二场才拿了96分！虽然拿了4个strikes，但是因为要让球旋转又不洗沟渠真的很难，结果我不是满分就是零分，有一次还差点要扑倒在lane上……<br /><br />我是想多去打保龄球，因为我真的很爱！可是每次想到那个花费就让人却步了，因为除了基本费用，还要买饮料，然后可能之后大家还要去吃夜宵，荷包会大出血！某专家说得很对，最佳的节省方法就是不要花费！<br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'
